These men and women will be cut off from the outside world at a secret base – where they will eat, sleep and train together in punishing conditions – with no allowances or exceptions made for their celebrity status.

As they’re subjected to extreme physical endurance, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing, the celebrities will be pushed beyond their limits. Some will reach breaking point and withdraw.

Erin Holland reveals brutal 'aftermath' of SAS Australia

It is no mean feat to put your hand up to take part in the brutal military challenge, with this season's participant Erin Holland revealing the brutal 'aftermath' of the SAS course after only a few days.

The former Miss World Australia was the second celebrity to leave hand in her number, after Brynne Edelstein exited on the first day, and took to Instagram afterwards to share photos of herself showcasing multiple bruises.

"THE AFTERMATH," she captioned the photos.

“A raw look at what a few days of selection looked like (plus a sore back from 90+ kilos on it).

“SAS Australia is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s 24/7 – so many tasks that can’t possibly all make it to air! SO much respect for my fellow recruits still toughing it out in there – it only gets wilder from here."

SAS Australia season two currently airs Monday-Wednesday 7.30pm on Channel 7 and 7plus.
