It was announced yesterday that the former Portsmouth Grammar School pupil will no longer present the popular reality series.
Channel 4 have said that they made the decision to drop Mr Middleton ‘following a number of discussions’ in regards to his ‘personal conduct’.
Mr Middleton confirmed his departure from the show on social media, writing: ‘After five incredible years I’ve decided it’s time to move on from SAS: Who Dares Wins.
‘Big respect to my fellow DS – it has been a journey I’ll never forget. Thanks to everyone that took part and made the show what it is. Really excited about the future and what’s coming this year. Stay positive.’
There were plenty of strong responses to the initial story on The News’ Facebook page.
