“Really, who would want to be those characters?” says the source.
“And the Hammerhead is just scary.”

“No one could have imagined the success of the show last year and the calibre of celebrity wanting to be a part this year was really ramped up,” says the source.
Everyone wanted to be The Bushranger.

“Many of them consider this to be their big comeback, so when they were given less-than-impressive costumes to wear, well, things felt strained backstage to say the least.”
Several big stars are rumoured to be part of the show this year including Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman and Grey’s Anatomy’s Kate Walsh.
