THE wait is finally over – here are the 12 muscle-bound meatheads and brawny beauties who will take on all-comers as TV’s new Gladiators.
We revealed on Thursday how this year’s Lycra-clad crop is made up of some top-flight British athletes.
And today TV Biz can report they will be joined by an American football star and a serving Royal Marine.
The dozen gym junkies are already in training ahead of the show’s Sky One launch, pencilled in for next month.
Ian Wright and Kirsty Gallacher will be hosts and ref John Anderson will again be in charge of the whistle.
Producers whittled down 20,000 hopefuls to just 32 contenders to take on the Gladiators in events such as fans’ favourites Duel, Powerball, Hang Tough and The Eliminator for a £50,000 prize.
Sky chief Richard Woolfe declared: “The games are bigger, the contenders are stronger and the Gladiators are even more unbelievable.
“It’s going to blow people’s socks off.”
Check out the new line-up:
TORNADO (David McIntosh, 22, Altrincham): The Royal Marine commando is the show’s cockiest character. He’s served in Afghanistan dontchaknow.
ATLAS (Sam Bond, 24, Bournemouth): The He-Man bodybuilder is the team heart-throb, with biceps like bisons and an ego to match.
BATTLEAXE (Shirley Webb, 26, Edinburgh): The hammer thrower has been likened to a warrior queen. And she insists of her Battleaxe moniker: “I like my name.”
DESTROYER (Damar Martin, 38, Croydon): The ageing bodybuilder still packs a mean punch. “Nothing gets in my way,” he brags.
ENIGMA (Jenny Pacey, 25, Borehamwood): The Posh-lookalike heptathlete reckons she’s “impossible to capture”.
ICE (Caroline Pearce, 27, Cambridge): The British bobsleigh champ is the show’s hottest totty and the quietest – or, as she puts it, “frosty and beautiful”.
INFERNO (Jemma Palmer, 24, Tamworth): This wrestler is great at acrobatics – even her boobs defy gravity.

OBLIVION (Nicholas Aldis, 21, Norwich): Boastful wrestler could rival Atlas in the womanising department. He “extinguishes his opposition” apparently.
PANTHER (Kara Nwidobie, 26, Morecambe): The shy former discus thrower trimmed her afro to give herself a more aggressive look. Ooh er!
PREDATOR (Du’aine Ladejo, 36, Newark): Former Love Island desperado and one of the oldest Gladiators. he says: “We’ll inspire kids to do their best.” Ta, grandad.
SPARTAN (Roderick Bradley, 24, Grantham): Pretty-boy US footballer reckons he’s a “brave warrior”. Just mind the face!
TEMPEST (Lucy Boggis, 19, Quintin, Wilts): Javelin chucker is the show’s youngest knucklehead.
