Ant, Dan Middleton Disqualified The Amazing Race Australia Over Alleged Homophobic Incident

Ant and Dan Middleton were disqualified from The Amazing Race Australia Celebrity Edition in 2025 following an alleged off-camera incident involving Dan Middleton and TikTok brothers Luke and Sassy Scott O’Halloran. The O’Halloran brothers accused Dan of making multiple homophobic, offensive, and intimidating remarks and gestures toward them, which escalated in aggression. AFL legend Brendan Fevola reportedly intervened several times to de-escalate the situation and even issued an ultimatum to the production company to remove the Middleton brothers or he and his daughter would leave. Channel 10 confirmed the disqualification was due to a breach of the production's code of conduct and emphasized the priority of health and safety for all contestants. Ant Middleton stated he was not involved in the incident and was only informed that the team could no longer continue due to Dan's actions, expressing disappointment over the situation and the limited role he was given in the show's editing. The incident served as a stark reminder to the cast about the seriousness of the competition and the need to look after one another.
