Celebrity pair kicked off The Amazing Race Australia after heated off-camera clash with TikTok stars
Brendan Fevola has had Ant Middleton and his brother Dan disqualified from The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition following an off-camera incident overseas.
The drama unfolded during a day off from filming when Dan Middleton allegedly got into a heated argument with TikTok stars Luke and Scott O'Halloran.
Dan reportedly yelled at the brothers and used inappropriate language late at night when most of the cast had already gone to bed.
Ant Middleton, who is known for hosting SAS Australia, was not directly involved in the incident but was disqualified along with his brother.
Fevola, who was competing on the show with his daughter Leni, is reportedly said to have confronted Dan over the behaviour.
He then reportedly gave producers an ultimatum: remove the Middleton brothers or he and Leni would walk.

Shortly after, Ant and Dan were sent home and cut from the series.
In a statement, Network Ten confirmed that a team had been disqualified for breaching the show's code of conduct.
'Network 10 takes the health, safety and well-being of all contestants seriously,' a spokesperson said.
'Following a breach of the production's code of conduct by one contestant, on a day off during production, a team from The Amazing Race Australia was disqualified and swiftly sent home.'
The incident has forced producers into damage control, with the show now in post-production.
It is unclear how much footage of the Middletons will appear in the final edit.
Fevola has become one of Australia's most popular reality stars, having previously won I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2016.
He is also a successful radio host on FOX FM in Melbourne.
This season of The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition features 13 teams competing for a $100,000 charity prize.
Other contestants include Olympic swimmer Bronte Campbell, comedian Ed Kavalee and his wife Tiffiny Hall, and Australian Idol star Rob Mills.
They will be joined by Indonesian princess Lindy Klim and her daughter Stella, comedian Steph Tisdell and actor siblings Stephen and Bernard Curry.
The Amazing Race Celebrity: Australia will air on Channel 10 later this year.

Amelie Mauresmo says French Open organisers will address problem of empty seats
Women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka and Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng played out one of the biggest match-ups of the tournament in the quarter-finals. But with the match beginning at 11am, the vast Court Philippe-Chatrier was almost deserted, with many of the French spectators having lunch instead. Qinwen Zheng played Aryna Sabalenka in front of empty seats (Lindsey Wasson/AP) Mauresmo said: 'We are aware of this, and we will definitely work on the solutions that we can find for the future. 'In two weeks we have our debrief all together and definitely talk about these subjects and see how we can make it work better.' The lack of women's matches in the prime-time night sessions remains a hot topic but Mauresmo once again stressed that is purely down to men's best-of-five set matches being longer, ensuring value for money for ticket holders. 'I think we wouldn't be having this conversation if we would have the same format for both games, because in my opinion it's the length or the possible length of the match that is making it hard for us in terms of scheduling,' she added.' Amelie Mauresmo oversaw the 2025 tournament (Christophe Ena/AP) The French Open remains the last of the four grand slams to still use line judges rather than electric line calling, which is currently considered not reliable on clay. Former Wimbledon champion Mauresmo said the standard of line judging was good at the tournament, but admitted the issue still remains up for discussion. 'Generally speaking, we had a very high level and this is a very great satisfaction for us, because, as you know, we are the last of the Mohicans to some extent with the line judges,' she said. 'We will be looking at it again this year, in what way would there not be line judges next year. I don't really have the answer to that, but we will look at that question.'

I was a size 22 & told I was ‘too fat' – after surgery I wear kids' clothes but people often say a very draining comment
A WOMAN has revealed that when she was a size 22, she was always told she was 'too fat'. As a result, Tia Maitland took matters into her own hands and in a bid to slim down, flew to Turkey for gastric sleeve surgery. 2 But now, the beauty pro, who is owner of Zia Lash Aesthetic, explained that people often say the same draining comment to her now she has slimmed down to a size 8. Posting on social media, Tia shared an insight into her reality, as she uploaded a clip of her at her heaviest. Prior to going under the knife, the blonde beauty always thought that she would 'never be smaller than a size 20' and wondered if she would 'ever make it to a size 14 again.' Not only this, but fed up of being 'fat' and 'never' being able to wear the clothes she wanted, Tia made the decision to have surgery to slim down. Now, Tia is a size 8 and also wears clothes that are designed for a 13-year-old child. As she showed off her tiny frame, the content creator explained: 'I was a size 22 and now I'm a size 8… I'm buzzing, what the hell.' But despite her happiness at her new figure, in a follow-up clip, Tia also shared 'the most draining thing after a gastric sleeve.' She claimed that people often have the same rude remark when they see her, as many will advise: 'You need to stop losing weight now, you're looking too skinny.' But to this, Tia confidently clapped back and slammed: 'Ok love, you also said I looked too fat, f**k off.' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ tiamaitlandxx, has clearly left people open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 290,400 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 19,800 likes, 247 comments and 479 saves. But it appears that Tia isn't the only one to have been faced with the cruel remark since her surgery, as numerous users flocked to the comments to share their own very similar experiences. Different types of weight loss surgery For many people who are overweight or obese, they may feel they have exhausted options for weight loss and want to try something more drastic. Weight loss surgery may be available to them on the NHS if they have a BMI over 40 and have a condition that may be improved with weight loss, such as diabetes. But the availability of these procedures largely depends on where you live in the UK. People can also pay privately. Weight loss surgery is a common and safe procedure. However, as with any operation, there are risks, such as a blood clot, a band slipping out of place, a stomach infection, gallstones and excessive skin from weight loss that in most cases, won't be removed on the NHS. In all of the following options, the space in the stomach is reduced, therefore a person feels fuller after eating less food. They lose weight as a result. However, it is necessary for them to also learn good eating habits and have a healthy balanced diet, too. Gastric bypass The stomach is divided into two using a staple. The smaller part is connected to the intestines, effectively cutting how much space there is in the stomach by half. The operation takes around two hours. Gastric band A band is tied around the top of the stomach and inflated so that it tightens. The operation takes three to four hours. Gastric balloon Patients swallow an empty balloon which is attached to a tube. The balloon is filled with water via the tube, taking around 20 minutes, so that it fills around two-thirds of the stomach space. Sleeve gastrectomy Around 80 per cent of the stomach is removed in surgery to make it much smaller and a sleeve shape. The operation takes between one and three hours. One person said: 'I feel this in my soul, I am almost a year post op and tired of hearing people ask me when I'm gonna be done losing.' Another added: 'Omg yes, this is a daily thing!' A third commented: 'I never realised this would bother me until I started getting this comment. Can't win either way.' At the same time, someone else also had the same experience and expressed: 'This is one thing that will forever haunt me. Just let me live now!' What are the risks of getting surgery abroad? IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks. Safety standards in different countries may not be as high. No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad. If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment. Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK. Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems. Source: NHS Meanwhile, many social media users raced to share complimentary comments about Tia's new appearance. One user beamed: 'You look amazing!!' A second chimed in: 'You look absolutely gorgeous.' Whilst another gasped: 'You are glowing.'
