She jumped from a helicopter, waded through ice-cold waters and even survived a humiliating interrogation about her infamous ‘toilet tryst’.
But Candice Warner, 35, says she has no regrets about joining SAS Australia, insisting her scandal-prone pubic image has actually improved since the show went to air.
‘[The feedback from viewers has] been fantastic, not just for myself but for my family,’ the wife of cricketer David Warner told The Morning Show on Wednesday.

‘Just the positive feedback, whether it be on social media or someone down the street, it left so much with everyone. And I think the public really resonate to certain parts, to me and my honesty.’
‘So it’s been a really, really a lovely change,’ she beamed.
The Warners have faced their fair share of high-profile scandals over the years, from David’s 2018 ball-tampering scandal to Candice’s infamous 2007 ‘toilet tryst’.
