The Woman Behind The Headlines

When it comes to cricket WAG and former champion ironwoman Candice Warner, one thing is certain – she sure knows how to get Australia talking.

Determined to show her daughters Ivy, six, Indi, four, and 16-month-old Isla that she’s qualified for more than just making school lunches, she never expected her brood would become SAS Australia’s biggest fans!

“The girls love the show – they’ve tossed aside the Barbie dolls and now play SAS! I’ve let them watch the adventure stuff and shielded them from things they don’t need to see,” Candice, 35, tells Woman’s Day from her beachside home in Sydney’s east. “They worried about me being cold, but when I got upset on the show, they called me a crybaby – they’re so cheeky!”

Protecting her girls and cricketer husband David, 34, has always been Candice’s number one priority. She’s not comfortable talking any more about the tough interrogation that saw her grilled by the intense Directing Staffover her infamous 2007 nightclub toilet dalliance with football star Sonny Bill Williams.

“I’ve never felt so stripped bare... to feel that vulnerable on the one hand, and yet on the other, to feel this enormous weight lift from my shoulders,” Candice says matter of factly.
