Ex-SAS: Who Dares Wins hardman Ant Middleton reveals he was rich killer’s bodyguard
TELLY hardman Ant Middleton has revealed he was a rich killer’s bodyguard.
And the special forces veteran, 42, said he witnessed his boss making death threats.
He told how he became “personal close protection” for the South American oil tycoon after leaving the Special Boat Service.
It was before he joined Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins.
He saw his employer use death threats to clinch oil deals.
He said: “I’ve looked after oil tycoons and worked a lot in South America.
“Huge oil companies are bullying medium to small size oil companies.
“They say, ‘We’re going to take this much off you for this price’.
“And if they don’t make it happen then guess what — you’re going to suffer, your family’s going to suffer.
“I know from a security point of view what they’re saying — if you don’t make this happen, you won’t see the light of day or your family won’t see the light of day.”
Ant told the Tony Bellew Is Angry Podcast: “You couldn’t trust the government or police.
“Safe houses, small aircraft just to get across the border — changing hotels every night.
“This was real bodyguarding — real close protection.”
