The Amazing Race has been rocked by controversy after a team was booted from the Channel Ten series following accusations of intimidation and offensive remarks.

TikTok stars Luke and ‘Sassy’ Scott O’Halloran allege they were subjected to ‘homophobic’ slurs by Dan Middleton, brother of Ant Middleton, during the competition.

Following the altercation, the SAS Australia host and his brother were sent home for breaching the show’s code of conduct.

Luke, 34, and Scott, 39, revealed the trouble started at their hotel in Nepal during a day off from filming.

‘Dan Middleton approached us six times, making remarks and gestures that we found homophobic, offensive, intimidatory, and disturbing,’ the pair told Sydney Confidential.

They continued: ‘Each time he (Dan) came over to us, the encounters felt increasingly more aggressive. 

‘At one point, he was right up in our faces, surrounded by some of the other cast members, who seemed to us to be as uncomfortable as we were.’

The O’Hallorans said that AFL star Brendan Fevola attempted to defuse the situation, physically stepping between the social media stars and Dan.

‘He did [that] more than once,’ they said. 

Reports of the incident first emerged in April. 

Ant Middleton, it is understood, was not directly involved but was disqualified along with his brother.

Fevola at the time reportedly gave producers an ultimatum: remove the Middleton brothers or he and daughter Leni would walk.

Shortly after, Ant and Dan were sent home and cut from the series.

During Tuesday’s episode, host Beau Ryan told viewers: ‘Overnight, due to a breach of the code of conduct, Ant and Dan have been removed from the Race.’

Rising to fame on TikTok, the O’Halloran brothers now host The Luke and Sassy Scott Podcast. 

They’ve also taken their double-act on the road with a series of live shows across Australia.
