Ant Middleton’s novel set to be made into TV series

OHMYGOSSIP — Ant Middleton’s novel ‘Cold Justice’ is set to be made into a TV series.
The 41-year-old former soldier – who was axed from ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’ last year by Channel 4 bosses due to his “personal conduct” – wrote the thriller about a military man seeking revenge, and now it could get the small screen treatment.
A source has said there are a number of production companies competing for the rights to the book.
The insider told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “When Ant was axed from ‘SAS’ it was all so public that I’d not have been surprised if he gave up on telly altogether.
“But somewhere along the way he’s developed a following for his outspoken, no-nonsense self-help chat and those same fans have lapped up his fiction debut.
“There’s no denying that ‘Cold Justice’ – which is about a military man seeking revenge after getting pushed out of his job under dubious circumstances – will make a great TV show.”
There are no word on which companies are in the race for the rights.
Following his ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’ exit, Ant vowed to “never” work for Channel 4 again.
The broadcaster had stated the “decision not to renew Ant Middleton’s contract and not to work with him again was solely based on his personal conduct off-camera”.
Addressing his fans on his ‘Mind Over Muscle’ speaking tour, Ant later said: “W*****s! No, no, no, they’re not w*****s. They’re ****s. I’m never working for that channel again, am I? F*** it.”
The army veteran believes that Channel 4 got rid of him from the reality show – which he had fronted from 2015 until his exit in 2021 – because they were kowtowing to “political correctness”.
He added: “When political correctness or box-ticking exercises filter into an authentic process, it’s gonna take away the authenticity, it takes away the realness.
“For something we’ve been through, that we sacrificed through, that’s something we’re gonna butt heads about every single time.”
