Ex Olympian Jana Pittman praised by fans after accidental moment on SAS Australia

Aussie athlete Jana Pittman is being celebrated for going on SAS only six months after giving birth, which saw her have an accidental slip-up on last night’s show.

Viewers have rallied around Jana Pittman after the Aussie athlete’s candid moment on SAS Australia.

The 38-year-old mother-of-four, who signed onto the brutal Channel 7 show only six months after the birth of her son, Charles, underwent a gruelling physical assault course on Wednesday night’s episode.

Celebs were made to undergo a series of difficult exercises at five different stations during the challenge, including tyre flips, puhs-ups and sandbag lifts.

As she was running back to the starting point, the Dual Olympian accidentally wet her pants.

“I think I’m tough, but, I had a baby six months ago so I’m fighting that post-partum after-pregnancy body,” Pittman says in the voiceover.

Pittman was forced to tell British soldier and course instructor Ant Middleton what had happened during the course.

“I wet myself … Couldn’t hold it,” Pittman says. “Embarrassing. I’m so sorry.”

A usually aggressive Middleton assured her it was entirely normal.

“It’s all right. If you need to piss, you need to piss. I don’t mind. It’s natural,” Middleton says, before asking if anyone relieved themselves in the water.

Pittman added, “No but I just pissed myself on that run so that was embarrassing enough. Not intentionally but women at home need to know, after you have a baby, you don’t have a good pelvic floor if you try hard.”

Pittman achieved a gruelling physical challenge.

After it aired, Pittman was celebrated on social media, with many praising the former runner for her strength and honesty.

@JanaPittman you are amazing! Thank you for being so courageous in so many ways and being open about what happened. Pelvic floor is such an important thing that needs to be talked about. You made so many women feel less alone. 💗#SASAustralia

Elsewhere in last night’s episode, Bra Boy Koby Abberton was brutally outed for cheating during the assault course challenge.

The celebrities were under the impression they were not being watched during their reps, with Abberton knocking over 15 push-ups instead of the required 30.

He was later busted via hidden camera.
