TV hardman Ant Middleton has branded the Special Forces legal case against him a politically motivated witch-hunt.
The ex SAS: Who Dares Wins chief instructor is the subject of a Ministry of Defence High Court lawsuit claiming he broke a non-disclosure agreement.
It comes as former Special Boat Service sniper Ant, 45, vies to become London Mayor.
He wrote on X: “Their timing gives this whole circus away! I will use it to my advantage.”
“This has just fully fortified my running for London Mayor and why I and the people must make this happen!”
Replying to a comment about an alleged Government smear campaign against him, he added: “Overtly yes, covertly for a few months now!”

“Fear not, I’m super proactive and am always 2-3 steps ahead. No change, no change!
“The mission remains the same… An Independent Mayor of London.”
But a source said: “If he is going to talk about Special Forces, the Ministry of Defence needs to have some awareness and engagement ahead of it.
“That is in his contract.”
They added: “The MoD has done this to try and bring about a mediation.
