‘Guess what! I tried everything. I did everything. I tried all the food, I did all the ropes courses, I did all the water stuff, I did it all,’ he told his dad.
Clearly proud, Shane told his son ‘well done’ and asked him if he was ‘glad’ he’d agreed to appear on the gruelling reality show.
‘Yes, so happy! I learnt so much. It’s changed my life,’ Jackson told Shane, who smiled and told him, ‘That’s awesome’.

As Shane told his son that he looked ‘exhausted’, Jackson began to sob uncontrollably.
‘Oh, mate. You know what I reckon you’ve done, you’ve pushed yourself so much. You’ve done unreal, mate,’ Shane reassured him.
He added: ‘We love you. We’re so proud of you. You’ve done awesome… Mate, we’re so proud of you. You’ve done unbelievably well.’
Proud dad: ‘We love you. We’re so proud of you. You’ve done awesome… Mate, we’re so proud of you. You’ve done unbelievably well,’ Shane said

‘Go and smash 20 burgers!’ Shane added with a laugh.
Jackson later said: ‘I came on this show to prove to myself that just because of my upbringing, which was very easy, that I could still go through all the tough stuff, and I feel like I did… I feel accomplished and satisfied.’
