On Tuesday’s episode of SAS Australia, Orpheus Pledger dramatically quit the show after refusing to do mundane tasks. 

The Home and Away actor was called in to see the Directing Staff after they became concerned about his mental state.

The 28-year-old complained that he was being asked to do things that he didn’t see a need to do, after he was forced to sweep the camp.

‘If someone tries to make me do something that I need to do without telling me why, I find that intrusive, I find that annoying, that is all,’ he said.

‘That is absolutely right,’ the star conceded, as Ant encouraged him to ‘chip away at every task’.

‘You will grow and get stronger and stronger. You owe it to yourself, you know you can do it,’ Ant said.

Looking skyward and appearing upset, Orpheus then mumbled in response: ‘Nah, I wanna go home. I wanna go home.’

Shocked Ant asked him if he was sure, and warned him that he would not have another opportunity like this one – but Orpheus could not be convinced and sadly handed in his arm band before leaving the camp.

‘Completing a course like this, if it’s exactly what I’m required to learn, I am going to go for it,’ he said in a piece to camera.

‘And if I don’t want to learn it, then I am not going to learn it. And if you call that quitting, then that is quitting,’ he went on.
