Celebrity pair kicked off The Amazing Race Australia after heated off-camera clash with TikTok stars
Brendan Fevola has had Ant Middleton and his brother Dan disqualified from The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition following an off-camera incident overseas.
The drama unfolded during a day off from filming when Dan Middleton allegedly got into a heated argument with TikTok stars Luke and Scott O'Halloran.
Dan reportedly yelled at the brothers and used inappropriate language late at night when most of the cast had already gone to bed.
Ant Middleton, who is known for hosting SAS Australia, was not directly involved in the incident but was disqualified along with his brother.
Fevola, who was competing on the show with his daughter Leni, is reportedly said to have confronted Dan over the behaviour.
He then reportedly gave producers an ultimatum: remove the Middleton brothers or he and Leni would walk.

Shortly after, Ant and Dan were sent home and cut from the series.
In a statement, Network Ten confirmed that a team had been disqualified for breaching the show's code of conduct.
'Network 10 takes the health, safety and well-being of all contestants seriously,' a spokesperson said.
'Following a breach of the production's code of conduct by one contestant, on a day off during production, a team from The Amazing Race Australia was disqualified and swiftly sent home.'
The incident has forced producers into damage control, with the show now in post-production.
It is unclear how much footage of the Middletons will appear in the final edit.
Fevola has become one of Australia's most popular reality stars, having previously won I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2016.
He is also a successful radio host on FOX FM in Melbourne.
