Warrior to watch STEVE'S BIG COMEBACK

Take Steve Price out of his comfort zone and he’s a happy chap. One of the things the former Warriors rugby league star is looking forward to most about being on Celebrity Treasure Island is the chance to test himself in situations most of us would go out of our way to avoid.

“I just want to start starving and struggling to sleep and being wet and cold,” he says. “The uncomfortable zone is where I thrive, I love it. My fitness level and my age might change that a bit, but it will be a good challenge.”

Steve, 49, admits that physically, he’s not in the best shape of his life. Now a Health and Safety Advisor on the gas rigs, based in South East Queensland, he works long hours and hasn’t had the chance to train.

“I’m not prepared,” he admits. “I’m the most unfi t I’ve ever been and the heaviest I’ve ever been, but it is what it is. A reason why I want to last a long time is because people usually come out skinnier than when they went in – that’s a real positive! Hopefully, it gets me into a routine again where I can be healthy mentally, physically and emotionally.”

Steve, who captained the Warriors from 2005-2009, then stayed on in New Zealand before returning to his native Australia in 2017, hadn’t seen Celebrity Treasure Island before he was asked to take part. He did watch some snippets, but says the fact the show tends to change with every series meant he couldn’t really prepare for what’s about to happen.
