Jett Kenny reveals one of his SAS Australia co-stars BLOCKED him on Instagram after he confronted them over their ‘links to a troll account’
Jett Kenny is currently competing on Seven’s gruelling reality show SAS Australia.
And while he’s being pushed to his physical limits on screen, the 27-year-old has now hinted there was tension simmering behind the scenes.
Jett, the son of sporting greats Lisa Curry and Grant Kenny, said in a recent interview on Queensland radio that one of his fellow recruits had blocked him on Instagram.

Jett didn’t name the celebrity who’d blocked him, but said he suspected they were linked to a troll account that targeted him when he was on Dancing with the Stars in 2019.
‘I’m not going to say who it is… I was on Dancing with the Stars, and Lilly [Cornish, his dance partner] and I were sort of getting bad messages from someone saying that we were bad people,’ he explained.
Jett claimed the troll account was followed by a celebrity who would go on to appear on his season of SAS Australia.
After filming wrapped earlier this year, he spoke to the recruit in question about their links to the troll account, but they responded by blocking him on Instagram.

‘I didn’t get a reply, and just got blocked straight away. I’m still blocked,’ he said.

Jett’s comments come days after he expressed his disappointment over not getting enough airtime on the show in comparison to former NRL player Sam Burgess.
He felt like he had no choice but to address his social media followers last Thursday after one of his crucial scenes was edited out of the show.
He shared a photo of himself in the driver’s seat of a car about to plunge into freezing cold water, alongside another image of himself in the water displaying the thumbs-up sign.
‘For those wondering: yes, I made it,’ he wrote.
