Candice Warner talks about her toilet tryst on SAS Australia and its impact on her family

Monday’s episode of SAS Australia saw the recruits having to confess their biggest life regrets to the rest of the group.

Sitting down in front of her fellow recruits, a nervous Candice Warner spoke about her infamous toilet tryst with rugby league footballer Sonny Bill Williams. 

‘A long time ago when I was young, I got myself in a compromising position, which I regret,’ the 35-year-old began, shifting uncomfortably in her seat. 

She added: ‘It had a huge impact on my family. Huge.’

Chief instructor Ant Middleton then asked Candice to elaborate on what had happened, but she simply called it ‘a personal situation’.

Becoming teary, Candice confessed she’d had ‘too many drinks’, before fellow recruit Shannan Ponton summed it up as ‘a compromising position’.

Candice was caught in a bathroom hook-up with Sonny Bill, 35, during a night out at the Clovelly Hotel in Sydney back in 2007. 

‘Yes, I made a mistake. But is that really worth every single day the media trying to drag me down? I don’t think so,’ she added tearfully.

Becoming emotional, Candice confessed she’d been forced to live with her mistake, and admitted she’d have to one day explain it to her three young daughters.

‘Living with that and then having to explain to my kids in the future is going to be very difficult. Especially when you’ve got three girls,’ she continued. 

As Candice wiped tears from her eyes, Ant, 39, gave her shoulder a comforting squeeze. 

‘I remember sitting on the side of the street and not being able to take it anymore. Just thinking, “If this is what life’s about, I can’t take it anymore,”‘ she added.
