The SAS: Who Dares Wins star 46, said in one clip: “Am I still out Traveling the world? Yes. Am I still shaking hands? Yes. Am I still cuddling fans at the airport? Yes.
“Am I still washing my hands and keeping my hygiene to a high standard? Yes. Am I going to let some disease Covid – dictate my life? Absolutely not. Get out, there don’t change. ”

One woman, who claimed to be a doctor, labeled Middleton’s comments as “completely irresponsible advice.”

“Carrying on as normal is not an option, we need to adapt, be informed and be alert.”
