Early rumours that Pete Evans and Sonny Bill Williams would be joining the cast appear to have been false.
Ant Middleton will return as Chief Instructor, with his team of trainers, as the celebrities are put through SAS-style training that will test them both mentally and physically. Last year saw Schapelle Corby, Firass Dirani, Nick Cummins, Merrick Watts, and more, take on the task, so will this year’s celebrities have what it takes to tough it out until the end?
Before filming began for this season, it was already picked up for Season 3, featuring “everyday Australians”, instead of celebrities.
