Seven announces the recruits taking to the SAS Australia course in 2022

SAS Australia will be back in 2022 with a new line-up of star recruits, ready to take on the gruelling SAS selection course.

Seventeen Aussie celebrities, including Olympians Geoff Huegill and Melissa Wu, AFL commentator Wayne Carey, singer/actor Melissa Tkautz, reality stars Locky Gilbert and Anna Heinrich, and champion boxers Ebanie Bridges and Michael Zerafa, have volunteered for the toughest test of their lives – a series of physical and psychological tests from the real SAS selection process.

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 or gender.

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. Who will have the mental strength to tough it out to the end?

The full line-up of star recruits set to take on SAS Australia in 2022 is:

Anna Heinrich, 34 – TV Personality
Barry Hall, 44 – AFL Great
Darius Boyd, 34 – Retired NRL Star
Ebanie Bridges, 35 – Champion Boxer
Ellia Green, 28 – Rugby Superstar
Geoff Huegill, 42 – Olympic Swimming Legend Locky Gilbert, 32 – Reality TV Star
