From a PR supremo to a convicted drug smuggler, here is the full cast of Channel Seven’s upcoming endurance show SAS Australia.
The network released the full line-up for the military-style competition on Friday, and it features a mixture of famous – and infamous – participants.

The trio will appear alongside publicist Roxy Jacenko, alleged drug cheat swimmer Shayna Jack and glamour model Arabella Del Busso.
The celebrities have volunteered to take part in the Special Forces selection course, which will challenge their mental and physical toughness and push them to their limits.
There will be no excuses for the pampered stars, who have agreed to participate in gruelling exercises overseen by ex-SAS soldiers from Britain.

The Biggest Loser trainer Shannan Ponton will also appear, as will AFLW star Sabrina Frederick, comedian Merrick Watts, cricketer Mitchell Johnson and model Jackson Warne.
Seven has already faced backlash for its decision to cast Arabella Del Busso.
Arabella is billed on the show as a ‘glamour model’, but is perhaps best known for her tumultuous romance with Wests Tigers player Josh Reynolds.

She has been accused of faking pregnancies and miscarriages during their relationship, and she acknowledged on 60 Minutes to passing off another woman’s ultrasound scan as her own to ‘spite’ her then-boyfriend.
‘I’ll never watch Seven putting a loser like that on… shows how much credibility they have,’ one person tweeted after it was announced Arabella had joined the cast.
