The TV network announced that Jackson Warne is one of celebs who will be pushed to their limits on SAS Australia.

Jackson has undergone a huge physical transformation in the past 12 months and has packed on plenty of muscle.

He’s shared several photos of his new physique on Instagram, much to the delight of his fans.

Here’s everything we know about SAS Australia.

WHAT IS THE SHOW ABOUT

SAS Australia sees Aussie celebrities take on a series of physical and psychological tests from the real SAS selection process.

There is no winner; there is no prize. These star recruits will eat, sleep and train together in punishing conditions, with no allowances made for their celebrity status or gender.

An elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers will subject them to extreme physical endurance, sleep deprivation, interrogation and psychological testing, pushing the stars beyond their limits every step of the way.

Some will break and withdraw.

SAS Australia is coming to Seven in October.

WHO ARE THE INSTRUCTORS

Putting the celebrity recruits through the gruelling SAS course is an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers – chief instructor Ant Middleton and his directing staff (DS) Jason “Foxy” Fox, Ollie Ollerton and Mark “Billy” Billingham from the hit UK version of the series.
