Natalie Bassingthwaighte was the second celebrity to quit SAS after the pressure got too much.

She handed back her armband and left the bootcamp just moments after Jessika Power, falling short in the same challenge.

During a gruelling round of press-ups, Natalie said, “I can’t do it, I feel sick, babe.”

As Billy Billingham yelled at her to “keep going”, Natalie doubled over in exhaustion.

“If you don’t want to do it, you don’t want to do it, just give me your armband and go!” Billy yelled.

“I can’t, sorry, I wish I could do better,” Natalie said, handing back her armband.

Breathless, she walked slowly back to the medical tent, marking the end of her journey on the show.

Married At First Sight star Jessika Power lasted two days on the show before she walked away.

She was pushed to her limits during a late-night burpees fitness task, which proved to be her final straw.

“I can’t do this, I’m going to have to withdraw, I can’t do this, sorry,” Jessika told the instructors.

“I’m being serious, I can’t, I can’t do this.”

Before the bootcamp started, Jessika revealed she would be “disappointed” if she quit the Channel Seven show.

“If I hand back my armband, I’m going to feel really upset and disappointed in myself,” she said at the time.

“I want to feel accomplished when I leave the course, I want to know I’ve pushed myself to my ultimate limit.”

Sadly, it wasn’t meant to be for Jessika and she was the first celebrity to quit.

“SAS was a good workout,” she posted on Instagram afterwards.
