Brooke Blurton thanks Sabrina Frederick for giving Nick Cummins ‘a punch’ for her on SAS Australia

It’s fair to say that things didn’t end too well between Brooke Blurton and Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins on The Bachelor back in 2018. 

And on Wednesday, Brooke took a swipe at Nick as she penned a gushing tribute to her friend and Nick’s SAS Australia co-star, Sabrina Frederick. 

In her Instagram post, Brooke thanked her friend for throwing a punch at the Honey Badger for her during their controversial fight on the hit Seven show. 

Brooke praised Sabrina for her successful sporting career and for being a ‘strong, powerful, incredibly talented woman.’

She also revealed in the post that she’s known Sabrina since they were teenagers, before mentioning her fight with the Honey Badger on the show. 

‘I thought I was proud of you for giving the honey Badger a good [punch emoji] for me but you beyond make me proud of the intelligent strong woman you are. Man oh man am I so happy to call you one of my longest friends,’ Brooke wrote.   

Brooke first rose to fame on Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins’ season of The Bachelor in 2018.

Despite their strong connection, Brooke walked out in the hometown round. Nick was left with Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman, but infamously did not choose either beauty.

Meanwhile Sabrina chose to fight Nick during a boxing challenge on the gruelling military-style reality show.

The fight between Nick and Sabrina turned into one of the series’ most controversial moments, with viewers torn over whether Nick should have accepted the challenge. 

Chief Instructor Ant Middleton, 39, defended the scene, insisting that Nick and Sabrina’s clash was fairly matched.

‘I don’t go easy, there is no favouritism here,’ the former British soldier told Nova’s on Monday.

‘It’s like, “Can you do the job?” I don’t care what gender you are, it’s not about race, religion etc etc. “Can you do the job, yes or no?”‘ he added.
