Ant and Dan Middleton left The Amazing Race Australia because they were disqualified due to a breach of the show's code of conduct. The incident involved Dan Middleton allegedly making repeated homophobic remarks and gestures toward other contestants, Luke and Scott O'Halloran, during a production break. The situation escalated to the point where Brendan Fevola, another contestant, intervened physically to de-escalate the aggression. Brendan even issued an ultimatum to the producers that Dan had to be removed or he would leave the show. The breach led to Ant and Dan being abruptly removed from the competition before the second leg of the race. Ant Middleton later said he was not involved in the incident and was not informed about most details due to confidentiality, but accepted the decision. Dan's actions impacted not only their participation but possibly Ant's future TV career prospects as well.
