MEET THE GLADIATORS

After smashing back onto screens last year followed by a celeb special, the iconic series is back for a second series.   

The show, which originally aired on ITV from 1992 to 2000, returns with Bradley and son Barney hosting, with a new pair of Gladiators joining the ranks.

The fearsome group includes trained rugby players, accomplished swimmers, sprinters and powerlifters as well as a former Premier League referee.

Here are the Gladiators:

Blazing back into the Gladiators stadium like a flash is Montell Douglas. She's fierce and will burn through the arena destroying anyone who gets in her way, earning her the name Fire. 

Following her success on the show she also joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing where she competed alongside pro Johannes Radebe.

Former Team GB Sprinter and Olympic Bobsledder, she held the British woman's record for fastest 100m sprint at 11.05 seconds, smashing the previous record which had stood unbeaten for 27 years.

In January 2022, Montell made sporting history to become the first female UK athlete to compete at both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games.

In 2010, Montell won Commonwealth Gold in the 4x100m relay race in Delhi - and holds a European Under-23 Silver Medal in 100m.

Montell moved into bobsledding in 2016, and the following year finished within the Top 10 at her World Cup debut.

Bionic

At a towering 6ft 6in it's somewhat inevitable that bodybuilder Matty Campbell is back as Bionic.

As a child he used to sprint and play football, reaching Academy Level, but a car accident curtailed his professional ambitions. It was his subsequent rehabilitation that led him to finding an alternative outlet in the gym.

Despite having never previously been a regular visitor to the gym, he found that he had a natural ability and quickly started gaining muscle-mass, leading to his eventual love of bodybuilding.

As a sprinter she ranked amongst the Top 10 Fastest Runners in the UK aged 12 for 150m and she went onto to race for titles at various championships over the 100m and 200m.

Her bodybuilding journey began at the age of 18 after she discovered the sport on social media platform Instagram, and her subsequent dedication to training won her 4 x Top 3 UKBFF Placings in the Wellness Category, an invite to compete at the Arnold Classic and an IFBB Elite Pro Card by taking Gold at the English Grand Prix.

After training for only a year before her first show, she became an instant sensation and went on to represent the UK in both Barcelona and Madrid throughout her two seasons.
