Arabella del Busso details the brutal conditions on Channel Seven’s SAS Australia – revealing she washed in a ‘pig’s trough’ and wore ‘soaking wet clothes most of the time’
Arabella Del Busso appears on the first season of Channel Seven’s SAS Australia – and the model got a rude shock once she entered the military-style show.
The 30-year-old says she expected it to be rough – but it was much tougher than she imagined.
‘When we arrived at base and I saw the stretchers we would be sleeping on and realised there were no showers – only a pig’s trough with a litre of water in it to either wash yourself or wring your hands with,’ she said.

Arabella added that she didn’t even have clean clothes to wear – and was left in damp gear most of the time.
‘I’d prepared myself for rations and resources that were far from luxurious, however I was surprised at having to wear soaking wet clothes for the majority of the time.
‘In hindsight it makes sense and isn’t all that surprising but at the time it definitely stood out to me,’ she said.
