And on Monday, SAS Australia drill sergeant Ant Middleton revealed that he was particularly impressed by the quality of the female recruits this year.

‘Out of all the series of SAS, the women in this one really impressed me,’ he said.
‘Molly [Taylor] was the first woman I have seen master the commando rope crawl, Erin [McNaught] was laser-focused and Sabrina [Frederick] was just the full package in my eyes.’

An insider said the female recruit’s efforts will go down in history.
‘The trainers have described it as one of the best efforts by a woman on a version of the show, ever,’ they claimed.
