Ant Middleton kicked off TV show months after selling home 'due £1,200,000 debts
Ant Middleton has been cut from another TV show four years after being axed from SAS: Who Dares Wins. The British adventurer, television personality, and former UK Special Forces soldier, Royal Marines Commando, and Royal Engineer in the British Army is best known for being the former Chief Instructor on the Channel 4 television series SAS: Who Dares Wins. However, in 2021, eight years after he first appeared on the show, Ant was cut due to 'personal conduct'. At the time of his firing, the now 44-year-old hit back at the broadcaster after it said it 'would not be working with him again'. He labelled the company 'hypocritical and shameful' for cashing in after his exit. A few years on he's been booted from another show. Ant had signed up to appear on The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition with his brother Dan Middleton. However, the pair were disqualified following an off-camera incident. The drama unfolded during a day off from filming when Dan allegedly got into a heated argument with TikTok stars Luke and Scott O'Halloran, the Daily Mail has reported. Dan reportedly yelled at the brothers and used inappropriate language late at night when most of the cast had gone to bed. His behaviour was then reported by former AFL player Brendan Fevola, who also 'gave producers an ultimatum' and threatened to quit if the Middleton brothers weren't sent packing. Although Ant was not directly involved in the incident he disqualified along with his brother. The show's broadcaster, Network Ten, has since released a statement confirming 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 show is now in post-production, with producers 'in damage control' as they decide how much footage of them to include in the final edit. This season of the show includes 13 teams competing for a $100,000 (£50,000) charity prize. In February it was reported that Ant had been forced to sell his family home after facing debts worth £1,200,000. According to The Sun, his family's five-bedroom property in Essex was put on the market for £1.5million, and the sale had been reported in a liquidation update for his company Sway and Starting, which both he and his wife Emilie are directors of. It's claimed that he failed to stick to a payment plan and only returned one instalment of money he owed from his overdrawn Directors Loan Account. More Trending According to publication, Ant was served a statutory demand with a view to petitioning for his bankruptcy, and the TV star agreed to sell his house and provide the remaining amount owed. Sway and Starting went into liquidation in December 2022, and a statement of affairs from January 2023 revealed tax debts of £1.2million, consisting of more than £340,000 in VAT, £907,000 in corporation tax and £6,000 in employee taxes. Metro has contacted representatives for Ant Middleton for comment. View More » The Amazing Race Australia will air later this year. Got a story?

Discussing what happened for him to lose his job, he told The James Smith podcast: 'Witch hunt? I never thought that existed until the latest shenanigans with SAS UK. 'Ultimately people can see through it and know I was pushed before I could jump.'
