Erin Holland shows off her badly bruised and battered body after quitting SAS Australia

Model and former Miss World Australia Erin Holland has released graphic photos demonstrating the physical toll of SAS Australia.

The 32-year-old had dozens of bruises across her battered arms and legs in a series of confronting images shared with her 400,000 Instagram followers.

Erin sustained the injuries while filming Channel Seven’s military-style reality show in Capertee Valley, NSW, earlier this year.

‘THE AFTERMATH… A raw look at what a few days of selection looked like (plus a sore back from 90+ kilos on it),’ she wrote in the caption.

‘SAS Australia is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s 24/7 – so many tasks that can’t possibly all make it to air! SO much respect for my fellow recruits still toughing it out in there – it only gets wilder from here.’

Erin Holland was the second celebrity to call it quits on SAS Australia on Tuesday.

During the episode, chief instructor Ant Middleton asked Erin to carry actor Dan Ewing after she failed to complete some exercises earlier in the day.

But after a number of failed attempts to lift the strapping actor, she announced that she couldn’t go on – especially knowing that the other recruits were being savagely punished with more gruelling exercises until she finished.

‘I can’t do that to them. I can’t,’ she said to Ant, before handing in her arm band.

Fans watching at home felt the challenge was unfair, with the slender beauty forced to haul around a full-grown man.

Someone else agreed: ‘Erin will never manage to carry Dan.’

Another person Tweeted: ‘Could just as well have asked Erin to run 100m in eight seconds.
