And the Afghanistan veteran warned readers to get their skates on and nominate NOW — before the deadline closes at midnight TONIGHT.

Ant, who served in the Special Boat Service, added: “I am so honoured to be a judge at this year’s Sun ­Military Awards.

As an ex-member of the Special Forces, this awards ceremony is really close to my heart, so to have a hand in picking the ­winners is amazing.

“I want to hear all about everyone who you think deserves to be awarded, so please do nominate your friends or family members so I can hear their story.”

The awards — back for their 12th year and sponsored by BAE Systems — celebrate the world’s greatest Armed Forces and honour serving troops and reservists for acts of sacrifice and ­gallantry over the past year.

The ceremony will be held in December in Whitehall, with Ant and his fellow new judges Chris Evans and Kate ­Silverton, plus a host of celebrities, sports stars and Armed Forces legends.

To nominate your military hero, visit the website on the right before midnight tonight.
