Candice Warner will open up the history books to reflect upon her infamous 2007 ‘toilet tryst’ with NRL star Sonny Bill Williams in an upcoming episode of SAS Australia.
And the former Ironwoman, 35, has certainly come a long way since she and Sonny Bill were photographed in a compromising position inside a nightclub toilet 13 years ago.
Candice, who will admit she ‘isn’t proud’ of her ‘toilet tryst’ in an interrogation scene on SAS Australia, spent her formative years dressing in a similarly regrettable fashion.

Thankfully, the mother-of-three has since blossomed into one of Australia’s most glamorous and well-heeled WAGs.
In the years since her encounter with Sonny Bill, Candice has bid farewell to orange spray-tans and garish red-carpet ensembles in favour of a more refined, elegant look.
The wife of cricketer David Warner, whose maiden name is Falzon, began her foray into red carpet style in the early 2000s following her triumph in the NSW state Iron Woman champion, at age 16.
