‘Gladiators' returns to our screens tonight to kick off its second series and we can't wait!
The show's reboot last year proved to be a huge ratings win for the BBC and fans can't get enough of the new batch of Gladiators, and the contenders who are trying to beat them. All of the Gladiators from series 1 are returning and two new ones are joining – Cyclone and Hammer.
You can take a look at the newly released publicity shots of the Gladiators (minus Cyclone and Hammer) in our gallery below:
The new series promises to bring back Atlasphere and there'll be brand new game Unleash. Fans can also expect classics such as Duel and Gauntlet that have been part of the show for years.
The contenders for the first episode of the new series are:
- Nathan, 22 from Sunderland who is the MD of Crossfit Gym
- Scott, 38 from Leicester who is an Air Ambulance Doctor
- Zavia, 34 from Manchester who is an Admin Assistant
- Katie, 35 from Doncaster who now lives in London and is a Hairdresser
