Sheahan Ink: Tear gas task on SAS Australia went too far

Popular reality show SAS Australia has been hit with complaints from celebrity contestants about a task they said went too far.

Australia’s biggest names competing in the Seven Network’s highly controversial SAS celebrity series have complained about a task they were subjected to in the recent filming of series three

The group, made up of sporting stars, actors, influencers and fitness freaks, were forced to endure over 30 minutes of tear gas according to the contestants.

One female contestant urinated on herself involuntarily and at least two male contestants passed out.

The female was left with nightmares, screaming late at night in fear she would have to do task again.

A legend in the sporting world had to comfort the unnamed female to ease the woman’s nerves and convince her the task was over.

It’s unknown whether medical attention was required or a psychological assessment provided.

The complainants based in Sydney spoke to Sheahan Ink provided we didn’t reveal their identities for fear of breaching contract with both broadcaster Channel 7 and production company Screentime.

The 2021 participants in the high rating program consist of:

Alicia Molik – Tennis Champion

Bonnie Anderson – Singer / Actor Brynne Edelsten – Socialite

Dan Ewing – Actor

Emma Husar – Former Politician

Sam Burgess – NRL Star

The 18 celebrities are under the supervision of four ex elite special forces soldiers – Ant Middleton, Mark ‘Billy’ Birmingham, Jason Fox and Ollie Ollerton.

A Seven spokesperson said: “The celebrity recruits on SAS Australia willingly signed up for the toughest test of their lives. The new season, coming soon to Channel 7 and 7plus, is the most gruelling course in the world to date. All participants are pushed to their limits like never before.”

The anticipated top-rating show will appear on screens later this year.

JEWELL SENDS MASK FLOUTER PACKING

A potential top two AFL draft pick was sent packing from a Sorrento supermarket by a Richmond premiership legend yesterday for failing to sport a mask.

Richmond’s 1980 premiership coach Tony Jewell was incensed at the young fella’s refusal to wear a mask like everyone else in the IGA supermarket in Sorrento’s main street.

Tony Jewell.

Tensions are high with Melbourne thrown into another five day lockdown.

TJ approached the man-mountain wearing Oakleigh Chargers shorts and socks, asking him where his mask was.

The 204cm aspiring AFL player said his was broken.

Jewell then asked to see the evidence and when he failed to produce it TJ told him: “Get out, get out.”

The U18 star was walking through the fruit and vegetable section with two mates but that’s as far as he got. Furious with the kid’s nonchalance, TJ escorted him from the building.

When Sheahan Ink quizzed Jewell on the situation and whether he recognised the soon-to-be-star he replied: “Well, I’ll be damned” while laughing.

Melburnians are fed up with those flouting Covid rules and want to return to the new normal where borders are open and shops free to operate.

SHEAHAN INK’s SECRET SHORTS

* An AFL legend’s son was robbed of his new $1500 iPhone 12 at school this week by boys two years his senior. But the consequences were far more serious. The son of a gun was bullied by the older boys and had his phone stripped from his person by the group. The boy contacted teachers at the school who called the boy’s mum.

Mum came down and located the boys in question, who failed to adhere to the seriousness of the situation until mum rang a distant relative with connections to a OMCG (outlaw motorcycle gang). Mum put the call on loudspeaker sparking fear into the group. She then said to the alleged culprits, “I’m off to get a test, if the phone is not back in my son’s possession by the time I return, the bikies will be on school grounds within half an hour.” Mum returned to visit the principal, who astonishingly had found the phone, presumably from the culprits.

Funnily enough, the school principal congratulated Mum for her stance, proceeding to say school teachers and authority figures are not allowed to take a strong stance or intervene in tense situations, but applauded the swift action.

Mum, AFL legend and son refused to go on record. Crisis averted.

* Four Collingwood players are considering a move to Hawthorn later this year.

The high profile group have been spotted checking out properties in the area.

We’ll spill the beans on who in the coming weeks …

* A hotelier with AFL bloodlines and his celebrity chef came to blows last week in the famous inner city watering hole’s office? The big time chef’s behaviour was out of line after staff complained to the owner. The restaurateur has endured a shocking couple of years but it was no excuse for his bad manners with the publican giving him a ‘bitch-slap’ across the face to pull him into line.

* Which hard nosed AFL player is currently under consideration for an off-field managerial role at the Magpies next season? The big man hasn’t informed his coach of his plans to play on as yet and would require permission from the wife to move to Melbourne.

* An NRL legend’s phone may hold the key to the real story behind the Covid breach on the Gold Coast. Queensland’s Jai Arrow was alleged to have entertained a female inside the Maroon’s camp but the real story may be in the cell phone’s contents, which luckily never saw the light of day and allowed Wednesday night’s State of Origin clash to proceed.

Dad Stephen pulled on the Blues’ jumper for 312 games over 17 seasons, grandfather Serge played 239 games over 14 seasons for the Navy Blues, with brother Ben delisted at the end of 2020.

The Silvagni’s are in mourning this week with Serge passing away from health problems Thursday aged 83 surrounded by family.

Jack has faced significant hurdles as highly regarded AFL player and a famous surname, which has sometimes plagued the Blues’ utility.

A new deal will which should be tabled by the end of the home and away season will see SOS’s eldest given more time to continue the family’s legacy at Ikon Park and forge his own identity.
