The Herald Sun first published a sneak peek of the interrogation on Tuesday, which included Jackson speaking openly about his ties to the Warne name.
‘I kind of wish in another reality or somewhere that I wasn’t “Shane Warne’s son”. I just want to be able to do me,’ Jackson says.
‘It’s been pretty frustrating my whole life… Whenever I walk into a room or meet someone it’s always, oh that’s Shane Warne’s son Jackson,’ he explains.
‘It’s never, “that’s Jackson”. I just want to be Jackson,’ the poker player adds in the upcoming interrogation.

On Monday’s episode, Jackson told viewers he didn’t consider himself ‘famous’.
‘I don’t consider myself a celebrity at all, I think my dad is obviously a celebrity. The Warne last name is a celebrity, but I don’t think I’m famous or anything like that.’
He went on to say that while he hasn’t had much ‘life experience’, he signed up for SAS Australia to test himself, both physically and mentally.
While praise isn’t often given to recruits by Directing Staff on the show, drill sergeant Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham told Jackson he was ‘a f**king impression person’ after his marksman task.
