SPOILER ALERT: Final three celebrities to finish SAS Australia revealed – including one female recruit
Channel Seven’s punishing military-style show SAS Australia is set to come an end in the next few weeks.
And Daily Mail Australia understands that of the seventeen celebrity recruits, only three make it to the end of the course – including one female recruit.
Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins, 33, footballer Sabrina Frederick, 23, and comedian Merrick Watts, 46, are all said to make it to the final of the show, after many dropped out due to the brutal intensity of the challenges.

An insider also told The Sunday Telegraph that Sabrina’s efforts on the show will go down in history.
She highly impressed viewers even in the first week, after choosing former international rugby star Nick – who weighs around 100 kilograms – to go up against in a boxing match.
‘The trainers have described it as one of the best efforts by a woman on a version of the show, ever,’ the source claimed.

Meanwhile, Merrick revealed this week how he had ‘begged’ his publicist to get him on the show.
‘I’d already seen the UK version and I thought it was amazing,’ he told news.com.au.
‘Last year there was a release saying they were going to make an Australian version and I was like, “That’s me!” I rang my agent and I said, “I’ve got to get on the show; it’s got to happen. I’ll do whatever it takes”.’
‘I forced myself into the show,’ he added with a laugh.

There is no prize at the end of the show, only pride of completing the course.
