SAS Who Dares Wins star Ollie Ollerton sacked, blames 'diversity drive' |
2020-08-14 |
The military veteran, 48, admitted that after 'threatening his security' as a former member of the Special Forces, he expected 'loyalty' from the programme in return. Ollie told the Sun he was dropped from the show in an apparent 'diversity drive' and will be replaced in the next series, which he had already carved out time for. He said: 'Five years ago we put our heads above the parapet for the first time ever — threatening our security as former members of the Special Forces — to bring that show to fruition. I expected that loyalty to be reciprocated. It clearly wasn't. He has been a stalwart on the show alongside DS Ant Middleton, Jason 'Foxy' Fox and Mark 'Billy' Billingham since its inception in 2015. |
