Ant has just filed books showing he paid £864,402 in corporation tax on his earnings for the year to the end of March 2021.

That means his income was just over £4.5million. Over the same period in 2020, his corporation tax bill was £447,950 — so he has almost doubled earnings year-on-year.

Despite his wealth the company claimed £20,000 in furlough money.

Dad-of-five Ant — an ex-Para, Royal Marine and Special Boat Service hero — was dropped by Channel 4 last March over his personal conduct.

He has also coined it in from a bestselling autobiography and a book on mental fitness.

Accounts show the firm had £1.9million of cash and assets and a loan of £1.5million at the time of filing to Companies House.

Ant paid himself a £1.1million dividend for the year to March 2020.
