Jackson Warne wishes he wasn’t Shane Warne’s son in SAS interrogation

Shane Warne’s son Jackson is doing it tough on SAS Australia, but he is adamant on making a name for himself on the extremely draining show.

Jackson Warne has revealed surprising insight into his reason for entering one of the toughest reality TV shows on Australian television.

After failing a hard task in freezing cold water, SAS Australia recruit Jackson Warne is brought in for interrogation with the directing staff (DS).

The staff are surprised to hear that Jackson is “feeling good” after his particularly rough day.

When director Ant Middleton questions Jackson, 21, on who is he, and discovering he is cricket legend Shane Warne’s son, he asks him “what the f***” he is doing there.

“To test myself... and I want him (Shane) to be really proud of me, by pushing myself to the absolute limit physically and mentally.”

Ant asks: “What’s it like living in your dad’s shadow? Anything you make of yourself will just be cast over by your dad right?”

Jackson said it was “frustrating” his living as under his father’s shadow during the interrogation.

“It’s been pretty frustrating my whole life. Whenever I walk into a room or meet someone it’s always, ‘Oh that’s Shane Warne’s son Jackson’. It’s never, ‘it’s Jackson’. I just want to be Jackson.

“Doing this I know I can prove to everyone that no matter how easy my childhood was I can still do the tough stuff, I can still push myself physically and mentally.”

“That’s why you’re here isn’t it? That makes sense,” Ant says.

Jackson explained his difficulty with interacting with people, no matter if it’s a crowd or a group of people. “I just don’t feel comfortable” he said, claiming he doesn’t know what they would be thinking or assuming of him.

“Drop that sh*t behind you and forget it, you have an opportunity. You’re hiding and slivering away and talking yourself out of it. Everyone is on an equal plate in there,” Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham explains to him.

“Pick your head up, you constantly have your head down,” says Ant, claiming that he needs more confidence. “Take your head out of you’re a** and get amongst it.”

“I kind of wish in another reality that I wasn’t Shane Warne’s son,” Jackson adds to the camera.

It comes after it was revealed that Jackson had only eaten ten different foods before.

So what exactly are the 10 different foods Jackson has eaten his whole life?

“OK, eggs, bacon, toast, cereal, burgers, nachos, chips, apples … that’s about it,” Jackson laughed during a chat with news.com.au recently.

Taking us through his typical day on a plate, Jackson said: “In the morning I’d wake up and I’d have eggs and bacon with an oat shake. I’d go to the gym and train, then I’d have two burgers and a protein shake and then I’d rest for the rest of the day. And for dinner I’d have a lasagne or pasta.”

The poker player said: “It’s not like I don’t want to try other foods, it’s just that I enjoy what I’m eating and it works for me.”

But that all changed when he signed on to appear on SAS Australia.

“The food on the show, there were all these different foods I hadn’t had before and they tasted awesome,” Jackson told news.com.au.

“We had oats for breakfast and the lunches were usually soup. For dinner, the first night we had these mini steaks. It was my first time having steak!

“I tried pineapple and rockmelon and had my first mandarin on the show as well.”
