Pauline Hanson's bold move into reality TV
Controversial One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, who regularly sparks outrage with her questionable comments - is set to be shipped out to the Middle East as she makes her big break on reality TV, starring on Channel 7’s SAS Australia.
She’s survived jail, Dancing with the stars and now returns to the small screen once again. In fact, Hanson could be up for a six figure pay out to appear on the program.
It has not yet been revealed if she’s being paid or not but It is more than likely she could expect a lump-sum payment. The payment would be equal to $2500 a day and a bonus of between $1000-$5000 every three days.
7’s SAS Australia is shot over a 14 day period with a 13-episode run plus a reunion special.
“The new season will be filmed in the Middle East, so it will definitely take Pauline out of her comfort zone,” a Seven insider told The Daily Mail.
Only five years ago did the former senator dramatically rip off a black veil in Parliament, declaring: “I’m quite happy to remove this because it’s not what should belong in this Parliament.
“In light of what is happening with national security… will you work to ban the burqa?’’ she said.
Pauline isn't the first contentious public figure to appear on the reality show. The series has also seen the likes of Sam Burgess, Wayne Carey, host Ant Middleton, and more.
