Controversial removal of renowned duo from The Amazing Race Australia following intense disagreement with TikTok sensations off-set
The Dramatic Exit of Ant Middleton and His Brother on The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition
Reality TV is known for its drama, but things got heated off-camera during a day off from filming for The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition. The incident led to the disqualification of Ant Middleton and his brother, Dan, from the competition.
The drama unfolded when Dan reportedly got into a heated argument with TikTok stars, Luke and Scott O'Halloran, late at night, causing a commotion that woke up most of the cast. Dan allegedly used inappropriate language during the altercation.
Ant, who is a renowned host of SAS Australia, was not directly involved in the incident but was disqualified along with his brother due to the breach of the show's code of conduct. Brendan Fevola, the former AFL player and a contestant, reportedly confronted Dan over his behavior and gave the producers an ultimatum—remove the Middleton brothers or he and his daughter Leni would walk.
Following the breach, Ant and Dan were sent home and cut from the series. Network Ten issued a statement confirming the disqualification of a team for breaching the show's code of conduct. The show, now in post-production, is dealing with damage control, and it's uncertain how much footage of the Middletons will appear in the final edit.
This season features 13 teams competing for a $100,000 charity prize. Apart from Brendan and Leni Fevola, other notable contestants include Olympic swimmer Bronte Campbell, comedian Ed Kavalee and his wife Tiffiny Hall, Australian Idol star Rob Mills, Indonesian princess Lindy Klim and her daughter Stella, comedian Steph Tisdell, and actor siblings Stephen and Bernard Curry. The Amazing Race Celebrity: Australia is set to air on Channel 10 later this year.
