This chat I am joined by ‘Ant Middleton’ the host of ‘Channel Seven’s’ new reality series ‘Million Dollar Island’ which premieres launches this week in Australia. 

The series is extremely ambitious and has the most amount of reality TV contestants ever formed - all competing for the cash prize of a million dollars. $$$$

The show borrows a lot of ideas from some of your favourite Reality Series and rolls them together. Sure there are elements of 'Survivor' and 'Big Brother' which fans will notice but there are also new ways in which these contestants get tested that makes the format new and exciting. 

‘Anthony Middleton’ is a British adventurer, writer, television personality and former ‘UK Special Forces soldier,’ ‘Royal Marines Commando,’ and ‘Royal Engineer’ in the ‘British Army.’ He is best known as the former Chief Instructor on  ‘SAS.’ And it is exciting to talk to him today.

• I will find out why ‘Ant’ said yes to this show and if he is excited to show a softer side.
• ‘Ant’ will talk about why it wasn’t hard for him to control 100 contestants and what the pressure of one million dollars does to a person. 
• We will also unpack ‘Ant’s’ love of Australian TV and if a role ‘Home and Away’  would interest him?

Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘Million Dollar Island’ which starts on the 12th of June and is on three nights a week. Mon, Tue and Wed. Plus is available for catch up on ‘Seven Plus.’
