Former NRL WAG Arabella Del Busso made a swift exit from SAS Australia on Tuesday night, after being grilled about her controversial past.
But it looks like not everyone was sad to see the glamour model go.
WATCH: Candice and David Warner take on couples’ TikTok challenge
After Arabella, 30, voluntarily withdrew from the competition, fellow recruits Firass Dirani and Candice Warner were busted bad-mouthing her back at camp.
Arabella – real name Donna Preusker – found notoriety after dating NRL star Josh Reynolds and faking numerous pregnancies and miscarriages. She claimed each time that the unborn babies were his – later admitting this was a fabrication.
She has also been accused of faking cancer and reportedly has at least 10 aliases that she has been known to use in the past.
“Yeah, she was a special type of person,” House Husbands actor Firass told Candice back at camp HQ.
Former ironwoman Candice appeared to hold a similarly low view of Arabella, adding, “I don’t trust someone with six names, I’m sorry.”
Firass agreed, commenting: “She almost didn’t want to open her mouth in case a skeleton or a bone came out of her mouth.”
Arabella quit the show after an intense grilling by SAS Australia’s directing staff about the lies she’s told, but in a piece-to-camera tried to justify her actions.
“People will – they’re going to judge me no matter what but they haven’t lived my life. They don’t know the extent of the things I’ve been through,” Arabella said.
“I’ve had to survive, I’ve had to make mistakes along the way to realise, ‘OK well, you know what, you can’t do that in life but it is what it is. I can’t take it back, it’s just a matter of moving forward now.’”
Meanwhile, Arabella wasn’t the only high-profile recruit to voluntarily withdraw this episode.
After an insubordinate Firass talked back to his superiors, the rest of the recruits were forced to run laps up a mountain while the actor watched on.
The physical exertion was too much for convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby who handed in her armband, claiming she couldn’t run another step.
Out of 17 recruits, Schapelle and Arabella’s exits make a total of three people who have quit in the first two episodes of the show, following Roxy Jacenko’s departure in the premiere.
