SAS: Who Dares Wins instructor Jason Fox 'lands his own Channel 4 series'

Ant Middleton was dropped by Channel 4 - the home of SAS: Who Dares Wins UK - due to his alleged 'personal conduct' on set.

And according to The Sun on Thursday, Ant's former co-star Jason Fox is tipped to replace him as the network's hardman as he 'lands his own prime-time series'.

Filmed in Wales, the series reportedly titled Beyond With Jason Fox, will see the 44-year-old SAS instructor 'take three celebrities into the wilderness one at a time'.

It's understood the three-part series would see Jason test their physical and mental strength in a format similar to Bear Grylls' television series, Man vs. Wild.

An insider reportedly told The Sun: 'As they tackle a series of challenges he'll also get the celebs to talk about the personal life experiences that made them the individuals they are today. 

'And he'll do it by using the more subtle technique of talking to people we see him use on SAS Who Dares Wins.'

MailOnline has reached out to Channel 4 for comment. 

Ant was dropped by Channel 4 - the home of SAS: Who Dares Wins UK - due to his alleged 'personal conduct,' with the presenter fiercely denying claims that he was axed for making 'inappropriate' or 'lewd comments' to female staff on set. 

Speaking on a recent podcast, the 40-year-old hit out at 'victim mentality' and said he's 'too far gone now to be completely cancelled'.

He said: 'I can get as drunk as a skunk and that's not in my nature, that's not who I am.

'My family knows that and my wife knows that. I'm more of a boys' boy – let's f*** off the chicks and go and have a drink with the lads. It makes me realise how this victim mentality is really taking over. 

'My career could be cancelled if I wasn't who I am. I'm too far gone and too long in the tooth now to be completely cancelled.'

Ant also detailed how his wife Emilie had asked him about the furore following his exit from SAS: Who Dares UK, with him telling her to think about how he's always acted around her and his 'super polite' nature.

He told the podcast: 'I'm like, 'Emilie, go back to who I am. When you first met me and I was drunk, have I ever been sleazy? No. Am I super polite? Yes, I am.''

Ant went on to claim there has been a 'witch hunt' against him in the UK, remarking: 'Witch hunt? I never thought that existed until the latest shenanigans with SAS UK.'  

He added: 'Ultimately people can see through it and know I was pushed before I could jump.'

Ant's abrupt departure from SAS: Who Dares Wins, the show he helped launch in 2015, was confirmed by Channel 4 just two weeks before filming for its next series was scheduled to begin.

A spokesperson for Channel 4 told MailOnline at the time: 'Ant Middleton will not be taking part in future series of SAS: Who Dares Wins.

'Following a number of discussions Channel 4 and Minnow Films have had with him in relation to his personal conduct it has become clear that our views and values are not aligned and we will not be working with him again.' 

Ant then 'wholeheartedly' denied claims he 'joked about having sex with a female contestant' after previously hitting back at claims he made improper comments to female staff.

A spokesperson for Ant told MailOnline at the time: 'Ant has worked on TV sets around the world for many years and has never at any point been accused of speaking inappropriately by anyone.
