Reality TV star Locky Gilbert oozes confidence in an all-new sneak peek of the upcoming season of SAS Australia.
“I’ve survived an island and a pack of girls,”
says the former Australian Survivor and Bachelor star.
“This is my fourth TV show, how hard can this be?”
“I’m an egotistical, fame junkie,”
Locky confesses.
“That selfishness has gotten me here.”
Chief Instructor Ant Middleton is seen yelling in Locky’s face, telling him he’s too cocky:
“This isn’t a reality show, you understand me?”
Describing himself as a “tough alpha male”, Locky butts heads with fellow recruit, comedian Pauly Fenech, calling him a liability.
“I don’t trust you,” Locky tells the Fat Pizza and Housos star.
Locky is one of 17 Aussie celebrities embarking on a life-changing experience – a gruelling series of physical and psychological tests from the rest SAS selection process.
These Aussie celebrities will be cut off from the outside world at a brand-new base in unforgiving jungle terrain, bordered by wild seas, dramatic cliff faces and rugged rocky outcrops.
There, they will eat, sleep and train together in punishing conditions, with no allowances or exceptions made for their celebrity status or gender.
Guiding recruits through the most gruelling course yet is Ant Middleton and returning DS Ollie Ollerton, joined for the first time by retired US Navy SEAL Clint Emerson and former British Special Forces soldier Dean Stott.
The DS will push the celebrities beyond their limits, subjecting them to extreme physical endurance, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing. Some recruits will reach breaking point and withdraw. Who will have the mental strength to tough it out to the end?
