The AFL legend is one of 17 Aussie celebrities who will embark on a gruelling series of physical and psychological tests.

“I’ve got a bit of an anger issue. I think I’ve got it fully under control, but I haven’t been put under those pressure situations,” Barry said in a preview for the third season, which airs on February 21.
