Of starring in the film, Middleton said: \u201cNormally I\u2019m doing the screaming and shouting but stepping into the acting world the tables have well and truly turned. With an awesome team at my side, there really are no excuses not to make ripples through the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Film lovers talk a lot about the need for authenticity and escapism in film. Well, I can tell you that all the action sequences you\u2019ll see Ant doing on screen in Shelter he has done in reality.\u201d<\/span><\/p> He continued: \u201cAnt also provided guidance and insights for the final draft of the script. One conversation about a particular knife scene stands out. Ant went into great detail about it and once he\u2019d finished a very detailed commentary everyone around the table just sat in silence for a while.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Middleton was chief instructor for the first six seasons of SAS: Who Dares Wins and the first three of its celebrity spin-off<\/a>. He left the show after 2021<\/a>.<\/p>
