Brendan Fevola unlikely peacemaker in the Amazing Race Australia celebrity edition controversy
The Amazing Race Australia celebrity edition has been rocked with controversy after a contestant was disqualified following a verbal altercation with another team.
And one of the players at centre of it – but this time as the hero – was none other than one-time troublemaker Brendan Fevola.
This year the show ran into an early obstacle involving the team of SAS: Who Dares Win instructor Ant Middleton and his brother Dan.
During a break in production Page 13 understands Dan Middleton was a tad worse for wear after a night out and started yelling at fellow contestants, TikTok star brothers Luke and ‘Sassy’ Scott O’Halloran.
Fevola, who has teamed up with his young daughter Leni, was thankfully still up when Middleton started behaving erratically.
Slinging some highly and grossly inappropriate language not fit for publication (even for this column) toward the social media stars, Page 13 understands the former Carlton champion had a gutful, stepping in to stop Middleton’s behaviour and deliver an ultimatum.
So incensed was Fevola by Middleton’s antics he demanded the production team act quickly and boot him from the series immediately, or else Fev would leave.
Network 10 on Friday confirmed the show’s management had acted swiftly to ensure the health and safety of the contestants.
Page 13 is not saying Ant Middleton had any part in the altercation, only his brother Dan.
