'SAS Australia' Star Roxy Jacenko Reveals Candice Warner Feud And Hangs Up On Radio Host
‘SAS Australia’ puts celebrities through a series of strenuous physical and psychological tasks, but perhaps the most gruelling challenges Roxy Jacenko has faced have been in the aftermath.
The PR queen, who quit the show six hours into filming, has faced a barrage of negative social media comments following her exit that aired in Monday night’s premiere episode.
After hitting back at “keyboard warriors” with an Instagram post revealing she’d fractured her hip and pelvis in the lead up to the August filming of the new reality show, she hung up on Triple M radio host Lawrence Mooney who “berated” her on air with criticism.
She then revealed her close friend, client and ‘SAS Australia’ co-star Candice Warner “sacked” her after they appeared on the show.

Friendship Over
“Is she really my friend anymore? No,” Roxy told KIIS FM radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O on Tuesday.
During the first ‘SAS’ episode, Roxy and Candice were asked to verse each other in the physical fight challenge. While Roxy turned her back and refused to throw a punch, Candice kept going.
“You know why I never hit back? Because it’d be like being in a ring with Jackie,” said Roxy, referring to radio host Jackie O who she’s also good friends with.
“You’re my mate, and I’m not going to smack you in the face for other people’s entertainment.”
The mother-of-two added, “I can’t punch my then-friend in the face for people’s entertainment”.
“You look back and go, ‘Fuck, I should have whacked her one,’ but you know what? I’m bigger than that and I’ve got respect for other people.”
When Jackie O asked if they’d been in contact since filming, Roxy responded, “No, she sacked me instead”.
