Channel 4 Drops ‘Sas: Who Dares Wins’ Star Ant Middleton Following His Black Lives Matter & Coronavirus Comments
British broadcaster Channel 4 has said that it will no longer work with Ant Middleton, the star of its successful Sas: Who Dares Wins show, after his comments on the Black Lives Matter movement and the coronavirus pandemic.
Middleton has become a major television star in the UK after first appearing in military survival show Sas: Who Dares Wins in 2015. Since then, he has gone on to front solo projects for Channel 4, including Escape and Extreme Everest. He recently fronted Ant Middleton & Rebel Wilson: Straight Talking for Sky.
But Middleton raised eyebrows last year over comments he made about Black Lives Matter and Covid-19. In a now-deleted tweet posted last June, Middleton wrote: “BLM and Edl are not welcome on our streets, absolute scum. What a great example you are to your future generation. Bravo.”
Middleton later posted an apology video, in which he said he was not referring to the movement as “scum.
