OHMYGOSSIP — Ant Middleton dreams about war.
The 39-year-old former soldier – who is best known for starring in ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’ – toured Afghanistan during his time in the military and even now, he still thinks about combat when he’s sleeping.
He shared: “You know, I dream about war a lot. But it’s not like I wake up and I’m in sweats.
“I loved my days in the military. Some people take their experiences harder and can’t deal with it. And some people lock it away and crack on. People say, ‘You’ve been so brave and heroic’, and I say, ‘I was just good at my job.'”
Ant was sentenced to 14 months in prison in 2013, after a drunken altercation with two police officers.
And he admits that the experience has proven to be a life-shaping moment.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I’m certainly not proud of it by any means but that’s shaped me into who I am today.
“Going into prison, I realised that if I got any lower I would probably have been in that mental state of not wanting to be on the planet.
“I’ve never shied away from any of my problems. I’ve done wrong, that’s my punishment.
“I remember before I got transported to prison, thinking, ‘I need to be a model prisoner. I need to stay out of trouble and do everything in my power to get home to my wife and children.'”
Ant was determined to learn his lesson and transform his life.
He reflected: “When I mess up, I ask what I need to do to put it right. I’ve never shied away from that.
“So even though it’s one of the shameful experiences in my life, I’m grateful for the experience.
“I’ve plotted positives from every negative, and that was probably up there with the death of my father as a negative. But it’s done. You put your hand up and learn from it.”
