  • Adventurer known for extreme mountain climbing
Ant Middleton is known for his expertise in extreme adventure and positive mindset. His career in the UK's elite forces includes the Marines, 9 Parachute Squadron, and the Special Boat Service. Joining the armed forces at 16, he quickly advanced, excelling as a point man, primary fires operator, and sniper, ultimately completing the Special Forces Selection. Ant gained fame as Chief Instructor on the TV show SAS: Who Dares Wins and helped establish SAS Australia, promoting resilience and mental strength. His adventurous spirit has led him to various successful shows, including 'Mutiny,' which re-enacted Captain William Bligh's 'Mutiny on the Bounty,' and 'Escape,' where engineers face survival challenges. In 2019, he climbed Mount Everest during a life-threatening storm, showcasing the allure and risks of such feats. In 2022, Ant summited K2, further establishing his reputation as an explorer. His Sky One series 'Straight Talking' features road trips with celebrities like Liam Payne and Rebel Wilson, offering deeper connections with his guests. In 2023, he hosted 'Million Dollar Island,' where contestants competed for a $1 million prize. Ant will appear on Australian screens in 'Dancing With The Stars' in mid-2024, alongside other upcoming projects. He captivates audiences in the UK and Australia with live shows like 'Mind Over Muscle' and the 2024 tour 'Fear Bubble: Your Life, Your Time,' sharing insights from his military life and training. His Head Game Podcast frequently tops the Australian charts, featuring guests who share stories of resilience. Ant has sold over 2.3 million books worldwide, with four non-fiction bestsellers achieving Sunday Times Best Seller status. His latest release, 'The Wall,' and his debut fiction thriller, 'Cold Justice,' highlight his versatility as an author.
