In 2013 Ant was sentenced to 14 months in prison and served four months after assaulting two police officers outside a nightclub before fleeing the scene.

He continued: “It was alcohol-fuelled. Once I realised what I’d done, I thought, ‘Oh my God’ ... I’ve regretted it ever since.”
Meanwhile, his brother is currently in jail for his part in a million-dollar drug bust.
According to reports, Michael Middleton was caught dropping off more than seven kilos of cocaine to an accomplice after travelling from France to the UK. In July he was sentenced to three years and five months in prison.

SAS Australia has been a breakout hit for Channel Seven since its high-rating debut last week.
Ant, a 40-year-old former member of the British Army, heads up the show as the chief instructor.
He served in the British Army between 1998 and 2002 and in the Royal Marines between 2005 and 2012.
The no-nonsense TV star is joined by Mark “Billy” Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox and Ollie Ollerton who make up the DS (Directing Staff).
