Guy Sebastian has slammed Channel 7 show SAS Australia, saying he felt “sick” after he watched Monday night’s episode.
In the episode, the 17 celebrity recruits were challenged to fight one another in a boxing fight.
AFLW player Sabrina Frederick was told she could pick her opponent, and she stunned her co-stars and viewers at home when she picked Nick ‘Honeybadger’ Cummins who didn’t hold back during the clash.

Speaking to Nova 93.7’s Nathan, Nat & Shaun show this morning, Sebastian said the confronting scene sent the wrong message to young male viewers.
“My wife and I run a foundation where we deal with domestic violence,” he said on radio. “I thought that was pretty p**s poor, if I’m being honest.
“I think it makes it very difficult to tell your kids, to tell your boy, ‘You never hit a girl! It doesn’t matter what the circumstance is, you just never, ever hit a girl. Violence against women is always wrong.’
“I felt quite sick if I’m being honest, watching that,” Sebastian continued.
The Australian Idol winner said he was not “having a crack at Nick (Cummins)”, but rather “whoever is in charge of the show”.

The fight on Monday night’s episode sparked a fierce debate about whether it was right for Cummins to agree to the challenge.
Speaking to 7 News, SAS Australia chief instructor Ant Middleton said: “The hand-to-hand combat task was the ultimate test of character and bravery. Sabrina had the luxury of choosing her enemy and she chose a tough opponent, showing true strength of character and how much she wanted to test herself and get the absolute most out of this experience.
“Nick did exactly what was asked of him,” Middleton said. “They both held a good and correct account of themselves.”
Frederick also spoke to Seven News about the incident and revealed why she wanted to challenge Cummins.
“I volunteered first and I picked Nick for two reasons,” she said. “Firstly, I wanted to select the person I thought was the biggest challenge. Secondly, I knew our respect was mutual and he would give me a fair fight, regardless of my gender.
“In battle, the enemy doesn’t care about your gender or size and we had to think like soldiers to get through each and every task.
“Yes, I was scared but that’s the whole point of SAS selection – not letting the fear consume you and instead harnessing it to empower you.
“I am truly grateful for Nick and for that experience.”
