Ant Middleton is planning to “ do a Jeremy Clarkson ” after his exit from TV hit SAS: Who Dares Wins.
The special forces veteran, 40, was rocked when Channel 4 said it would not work with him again over his “personal conduct”.
He says he was quitting anyway – and now hopes to return to TV on a streaming service.
Clarkson was sacked from the BBC’s Top Gear but landed a lucrative deal on Amazon Prime’s show The Grand Tour.
Now Ant is set to approach production companies with a web TV format. An insider said: “Ant feels there is the possibility to emulate what Clarkson did.

“He thinks there’s an audience for another military action hero-style show where he can be his authentic self.
"Ant has ideas he has been mooting to production companies.”
Ant says SAS: Who Dares Wins had become a “managed and inauthentic reality show”.
Last year, he apologised after a tweet about Black Lives Matter which he says was misconstrued.
C4 has said it will not work with him again as their “views and values are not aligned”.
Meanwhile, it was yesterday reported four women who worked with Ant claimed he made “lewd and suggestive comments” on the show’s set.
His spokesman said he “wholeheartedly and emphatically rejects” the allegations.
