Ant Middleton has placed his company into voluntary liquidation with debts of over £2m.

The ex-Royal Marine – who was sacked by Channel 4‘s SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2021 due to his “personal conduct” – has dissolved the company he set up in his name in 2014 whilst still owing £2m to creditors and HMRC.

But before liquidising Sway and Starting Ltd, originally known as Middleton Global, the reality TV star took out a Director’s Loan of £2.7m.

“Ant has an extremely busy year ahead and is focused on his TV work, brand deals, books and events.”

Accounts for other companies in his name – Antcolony Ltd, Middleton IP and Middleton Global IP – are all late, according to official records at Companies House.

Middleton was dropped from SAS: Who Dares Wins after he came under criticism for comments he made about the Black Lives Matter protests as well as the coronavirus pandemic. He later apologised for both social media posts.

The father-of-five – who resigned from his role as the Royal Navy’s chief cadet last year –previously blamed “woke culture” for Channel 4’s decision not to renew his contract.
