They were the first team to arrive at the Pit Stop in Monday night’s premiere, but Ant Middleton and his brother Dan were abruptly kicked off The Amazing Race Australia in the second episode of the reality show. Channel 10 shared little details about the team’s disqualification, with host Beau Ryan stating in a brief voiceover that they had been removed from the race “due to a breach of the code of conduct”.
While many fans were left confused by the sudden turn of events, it was reported by The Herald Sun in April that the contestants had been dumped from the series following “a verbal altercation” with TikTok stars Luke and Scott O’Halloran. A Channel 10 spokesperson confirmed at the time that an unnamed team had been disqualified and “swiftly sent home” due to a “breach of the production’s code of conduct” on a day off from production.
Ant Middleton speaks out
While Ant and Dan have remained tight-lipped on social media, with neither posting about their involvement in the series, the SAS Australia host has now spoken out about the incident and how he feels being edited out of Channel 10’s promotional material.
“It’s such a bizarre situation, as I haven’t been privy to any information, as I wasn’t present when a situation unfolded with my brother, and due to confidentiality, the only thing the production could tell me is that our team couldn’t continue due to a situation that unfolded with my brother,” he detailed.
“I respect the production’s choice to keep the edit minimal with our participation to protect their brand. Strange situation, but one that’s completely out of my control and had nothing to do with [me]!”

Luke and Sassy Scott address incident
Luke and Sassy Scott have since shared details about the alleged incident and claimed that they were subjected to “homophobic” gestures by Dan. They told Confidential that they chose to stay at the hotel on the first night of filming in Nepal while other contestants “went out to explore the local town”.
“When the rest of the contestants returned later, Dan Middleton approached us six times, making remarks and gestures that we found homophobic, offensive, intimidatory, and disturbing,” they said.
“Each time he came over to us, the encounters felt increasingly more aggressive. At one point, he was right up in our faces, surrounded by some of the other cast members, who seemed to us to be as uncomfortable as we were. At this point, Brendan Fevola physically stepped in, putting himself between us and Dan and trying to de-escalate the situation. Brendan did this more than once.”
According to The Herald Sun, Brendan demanded that the show’s producers immediately remove Dan from the show; otherwise, he would quit.
