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.

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.
