Can SAS Australia return to the small screen?
Despite stellar ratings earlier this year, the grueling military-style reality show looks set to kick off another season on Channel Seven, after lead showrunner Ant Middleton was spotted at the Airport Sydney on Monday.
The former England coach, 41, had just flown in from Perth when he spotted a familiar paparazzo and gave him a knowing look.

But despite the drop in ratings, SAS Australia still won the Logie Award for Favorite Reality Show this year.
It’s up against The Block (Nine), The Famous Apprentice (Nine), I’m a Celebrity… Get me out of here! (Channel 10), MAFS (Nine) and MasterChef (Channel 10).
The winners of this year’s season of SAS Australia are NRL star Darius Boyd, NRLW athlete Millie Boyle and motorsport presenter Riana Crehan.
