SAS Australia in revolt: Bratty actor Firass Dirani was ‘told to leave’ by his celebrity co-stars after his selfish behaviour led to brutal punishments

Actor Firass Dirani, 37, has already managed to get the DS (directing staff) on SAS Australia offside on multiple occasions during his first two episodes. 

And House Husbands star Firass’ selfish behaviour and subsequent group punishments had his celebrity co-stars fuming on the military-style show.

Speaking to TV Week, former Biggest Loser trainer Shannan Ponton said: ‘On multiple occasions I asked Firass to hand in his badge, as his presence and repetitive behaviour were ruining the entire experience for the rest of us.’

SAS Australia in revolt: Bratty actor Firass Dirani was ‘told to leave’ by his celebrity co-stars after his selfish behaviour led to brutal punishments

‘I struggled with Firass’ behaviour from day one,’ Shannan said, describing it as a ‘lame attempt at juvenile humour’ consisting of a smart mouth and back-chat.

‘The entire cast was filthy, but many wanted to avoid confrontation and failed to speak up directly,’ the celebrity fitness coach said.

‘I repeatedly addressed each event as it transpired. It was “cooking” me, being punished unnecessarily at the end of a brutal and grueling day,’ Shannan added.

On Tuesday’s episode, the remaining recruits were forced to run a series of sprints as punishment for Firass’ back-chat, as the actor was ordered to stand back and watch. 

Furious chief instructor Ant Middleton turned to Firass and the other recruits after the drill, and explained that two recruits had quit the show.

‘Out of three VW’s (voluntarily withdrawal), two of them can thank this man here,’ he said, pointing at Firass.

Ant then made Firass turn and face his team, before informing him: ‘It’s not about you. Do not be that selfish p***k.’
