WHO DARES GRINS

£1m puts a smile on the face of TV’s SAS trainer Middleton

PROFITS Emilie & Ant Middleton

TELLY commando trainer Ant Middleton and his wife Emilie have shared a £1.1million payday.

Their firm Middleton Global made a £2million profit in the 18 months to March and they took a £1,089,980 dividend.

Former soldier Ant, 39, is the coach on SAS: Who Dares Wins, the Channel 4 show that puts “recruits” through gruelling special forces-style training.

Middleton Global lists its line of work as “media representation”. In 2018 the couple split £330,000 from the firm.

Ant found fame in the SAS show in 2015, two years after finishing a jail term for assaulting two police officers.

He recently told how he was then so desperate he raided his daughter’s piggy bank.

On Eddie Hearn’s No Passion, No Point podcast, he said: “I went from that to writing my first book, TV shows, more books, doing UK tours.

“I’ve had no money and now I have money – and I know which side I’d rather be.”
