Australian Amazing Race Stars Ant, Dan Middleton Disqualified Over Conduct Breach

The 2025 season of The Amazing Race Australia was disrupted early when Ant Middleton and his brother Dan were disqualified after just one episode due to a breach of the show's code of conduct. The incident reportedly involved Dan Middleton making homophobic, offensive, and intimidating remarks and gestures toward fellow contestants Luke and Sassy Scott, prompting AFL star Brendan Fevola to intervene physically to de-escalate the situation. Network 10 confirmed the disqualification occurred on a day off from production and emphasized the importance of contestant safety and well-being. Although Ant Middleton was not involved in the altercation, he was removed alongside his brother and has chosen not to promote the show amid the controversy. The Scott brothers have continued with the competition, focusing on their goals despite the incident. The production company acted swiftly, removing the Middleton brothers by the following morning to uphold the competition’s standards.
