^^^^ above is kinda true!

but its on sky one!

Sky grabs Gladiators


TIME to stock up on the protein shakes - Gladiators is back.

Members of the public are being challenged to battle a new team of TV warriors as the hit combat show is relaunched on Sky.

It comes eight years after the original was axed by ITV bosses.

Footie legend Ian Wright is tipped to host the revamped new version, which will get a prime-time Saturday night slot.

Referee John Anderson - the man behind the legendary “Gladiators ready” shout - is in talks to return.

And producers are on the hunt for 12 new Gladiators to replace old favourites including Amazon, Cobra and Wolf.

Last night an insider said: “Gladiators always got stick for being naff but the reality is people liked it. Obviously, some of the challenges they used to do were a bit tame, so it will be given a 21st Century makeover.

“A new batch of Gladiators is being sought, and hopefully, they will be every bit as colourful as the original bunch. The contests will also be much more exciting and dangerous.”

The new obstacle course-style challenges will include water and fire-based contests, and will run alongside old favourites such as the Eliminator.

Unmissable



Auditions for competitors to take on the Gladiators will be held across the country from next month. The show will be filmed in a new London studio.

Sky boss Richard Woolfe said: “Just like the revival of Take That and the Spice Girls, the return of this David-and-Goliath contest will be unmissable.” The relaunch follows the successful return of the US version, American Gladiator.



It was brought back to fill schedules hit by the ongoing US writers’ strike but is doing so well that NBC has ordered another series.

The original UK show was also a massive hit in its heyday.

Launched in 1992, it pulled in 12million viewers and spawned a string of money-spinning live shows and merchandising.

The show was filmed at Birmingham’s NEC and hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu, who was later replaced by Jeremy Guscott.

It was axed in 2000 after viewing figures slumped. But Sky bosses reckon the revamped format will win back old fans.

If you want to be a contestant, email gladiators.uk@shinelimited.com.
