The Grand Final of ‘Gladiators' 2026 arrives this weekend and it promises to be a fierce battle.
30-year-old teacher Tyler Spence from Wigan will go head-to-head with 27-year-old area sales manager Josh McDonald from Glasgow in the men's final, while 40-year-old business consultant Naomi Church from Birmingham will take on 22-year-old sales rep Emily Bell from South London in the women's final. Preview the action in our gallery below:
From the look of the preview images released ahead of the final, the finalists will be competing in Dual, Destruction, Gauntlet and Unleash, as well as the Eliminator. We honestly can't call who might win this year as the competition has been anything but predictable. Both Tyler and Josh were brought in as substitutes when other contenders were injured, and Naomi and Emily seem pretty well matched.
Bradley and Barney Walsh will be in the arena to make sure that things run smoothly! As we already know there's another season of ‘Gladiators' coming in 2027, there's no need to be too sad that the current season has reached the end of its run. We're sure there'll be the celebrity special at Christmas too!
‘Gladiators' concludes Saturday at 5.45pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
