Ant Middleton has made a very sweet gesture to a stranger after accidentally smashing her phone during a night out.
The SAS: Who Dares Wins host, 39, was labelled a “mentally lovely guy” by a female fan named Alice who had met the star in a very unexpected way.
She took to Twitter on Wednesday to detail the bizarre night, and proudly told her followers the former soldier had sent her a brand new iPhone 11 Pro with 256GB after he knocked it out of her hand accidentally.
The model of iPhone costs around £1,199 to purchase outright.
In a starstruck post, she explained: “Met Ant Middleton the other night so I went and asked for a photo and he accidentally knocked my hand which smashed my phone (my fault didn’t have a case).”
She added: “And he asked for my email address and has just BOUGHT a brand new iPhone 11 w 256GB what a mentally mentally lovely guy.”
According to the tweet, Ant requested Alice’s email address and had her new phone sent straight out to her.
It’s unknown whether Ant repurchased the same model as her old phone, or if he gifted her a brand new version.
Alice posted photos of her smashed screen alongside the tweet, as well as her brand new phone, complete with an Apple case.
She also shared a snap she got with Ant before the incident happened, and they can be seen at a bar.
The tweet went viral on social media, and other fans couldn’t get their head around the amazing gesture.
One wrote: “The bare minimum is a brand new phone!? I would of thought it was a new screen.”
“How is this lovely that’s the bare minimum you’d expect from somebody who smashed your phone,” another shocked fan penned.
While a third was wasn’t too convinced by Ant’s “lovely” personality as he’s known for his no-nonsense attitude on the Channel 4 show.
They wrote: “Ant!! No way always thought he was a belter on SAS was he nice?!”
As Alice, who was gifted the phone, responded: “So so lovely!! Very nice guy.”
