During the challenge, Mitchel was carrying a log with his teammates when he let go and folded over in half. 

Chief instructor Ant Middleton approached the recruit and asked him whether he wanted to continue with the show. 

‘What decision are you going to make? Make a decision now! You get back on that log or you give me your number,’ he ordered, as Mitchell broke down in tears.

After managing to pull himself together, Mitchell ran to catch up with his teammates, but as he neared them, he stopped.

Turning to face Ant, Mitchell silently pulled off his armband and handed it over to Ant, signalling the end of his time on the show.

Defeated, he then crouched on the ground and broke into tears, as he admitted: ‘I can’t make excuses, I’m just not good enough.’ 

SAS Australia continues Monday at 7:30pm on Seven.
