Ant Middleton was forced to issue a statement to his fans and announce that he had made the decision to cancel his upcoming UK tour due to scheduling issues.
K2 with Ant Middleton was set to showcase the exhilarating tales of endurance from one of the world's most dangerous mountains, which would have included unseen footage and unheard stories throughout his career.
However, whilst fans were ready to attend, he had to issue some sad news yesterday and told his Instagram followers: "It saddens me to announce I've had to cancel my upcoming UK tour in October and November due to scheduling issues.
"Let me explain here because you deserve an explanation. I've had lots and lots of issues with being able to schedule this and making sure I prioritise the work around it.
"I've had some very, very important media/TV work come and I've had to balance it out between what is my priority.
"Is it to get back on UK TV? Which is one of the reasons why I've had to cancel this tour. Also, some very big announcements and TV projects going on within that time period as well. I've had to weigh the two up, prioritise for the better and choose between one and the other."
Despite having to cancel the tour, Middleton did insist that he will return with a "bigger and better" show next year and added: "On the plus, it really allows me to focus on a huge tour next year where I can get around and see absolutely everyone.
"Really see everyone and share my K2 adventure, my 'Dancing with the Stars' adventure, my 'SAS Australia' adventures and my book as well, 'Military Mindset', which is coming out very soon. So, on all the positive notes we're going to go bigger and better next year."
He captioned the post: "Sorry sorry sorry! Sometimes you just have to make these decisions and role with them! Wherever you got your tickets from they will fully refund you and next year we go bigger and better!
"We must look at the positives and I may just make an appearance on your screens very soon. UK TOUR CANCELLED with my sincere apologies!"

Fans were quick to offer their support and encouragement to Middleton within the comment sections, as one praised: "Good honest post. We all need to prioritise daily. I appreciate all the positive work you do."
"Thanks for explaining. You have to do what you have to do, I know it can’t have been an easy decision & it’ll be worth it," another echoed before a third said: "We support every decision you make."
Someone else added: "Refreshing honesty! I don’t think enough of us just say 'I can’t do what you want me to do because I’d rather do this' and be true to ourselves. Good for you."
"Ant, you cannot do everything at once, you're the best and I am looking forward to your new book!" a fifth penned. (sic)
