‘We did try’: Cricket legend Shane Warne DEFENDS his parenting skills after his son Jackson, 21, revealed he’d only consumed ’10 types of food’ in his life on SAS Australia
Jackson Warne shocked the nation in October, when he announced on SAS Australia that he’d only ever tried 10 types of food in his life.
And on Saturday, cricket legend Shane Warne defended his parenting skills following the 21-year-old’s shocking revelation that he’d never tried soup, a meat pie, or even vegetables while growing up.
Insisting he and Jackson’s mother, Simone Callahan, did everything they could to make him try new things, the 51-year-old told The Daily Telegraph: ‘As a parent, we did ask him to try this and that.

‘He just said no no no. My two daughters they eat everything — chicken, fish, steak and everything.’
Shane added that his son is more or less ‘burgers, pasta and McDonalds once a day’, adding: ‘He’s never been a big fruit lover, and it’s sort of captured the imagination of the public.’
He also laughed that Jackson said on live radio that his dad made him try a Victoria Bitter when he was drunk one New Years’ Eve – resulting in the young lad saying he’d ‘never’ touch it again.
