Rudy Reyes, a highly decorated US special forces hero, will be the new chief instructor after Middleton was dropped by the TV reality show over his “personal conduct”.

And in another snub to Britain’s elite troops, former US Navy Seal Remi Adeleke, 38, has also been signed up in the rejig of Channel 4’s military training challenge.

Original Brit officers Jason “Foxy” Fox and Mark “Billy” Billingham remain.

But in further changes, the show will move from Scotland’s chilly Isle of Raasay to the Middle East heat in Jordan.

Channel 4 said the new team would “draw on their military experiences from both sides of the Atlantic, to create the toughest selection course yet”.

Reyes, 50, was in Marine Recon — an elite force of only 300 troops.

He led more than 50 patrols behind enemy lines in Afghanistan and Iraq.
