The 'SAS: Who Dares Wins' star - who was Chief Instructor on the show - has been booted out of the series and off the channel by the broadcaster, who said their "views and values are not aligned" and has vowed to not work with the former Special Forces soldier again.
A Channel 4 spokesperson said in a statement: "Ant Middleton will not be taking part in future series of SAS: Who Dares Wins. Following a number of discussions Channel 4 and Minnow Films have had with him in relation to his personal conduct it has become clear that our views and values are not aligned and we will not be working with him again."
Ant also issued his own statement on his exit from the Channel 4 programme and its sister show, 'Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins', admitting it was a journey he'd "never forget".
He wrote: "After 5 incredible years I’ve decided it’s time to move on from SAS Who Dares Wins UK. Big respect to my fellow DS – it’s been a journey I’ll never forget.
"Thanks to everyone that took part and made the show what it is. Really excited about the future and what’s coming this year. Stay positive."
It comes after Ant was accused of calling Black Lives Matter protesters "scum", something he later denied and insisted he was only referring to people who had been "violent".
He wrote at the time: "The extreme left against the extreme right. When did two wrongs make a right? It was only a matter of time. BLM and EDL are not welcome on our streets, absolute scum. What a great example you are to your future generation. Bravo."
And clarifying his comments, he added: "I’d just like to clarify a tweet I put out this weekend and deleted straight away, once I re-read and realised it could cause offence. I put out a tweet, retweeted a video of the violence, the terror, the chaos that was happening on the streets of London and within that tweet I mentioned the BLM and the EDL and the word 'scum'. At no point was I calling the BLM scum and comparing [the] two organisations. I want to make that really clear. The word scum was used to describe the people in the video that were violent, that were causing terror on the streets of London, and setting a bad example for our future generation."
