''Hold on to your foam finger. Gladiators is back for a second series which is about to get bigger, and badder: Wolf is back, and this time he’s in charge!

Steve Jones, Commissioning Editor, Entertainment, Sky1, Sky2 and Sky3 announced last week that Sky1’s hit family entertainment show Gladiators will return for a second series with a number of exciting twists including the return of Wolf, a revamped eliminator with a surprise new element, and the recruitment of new Gladiators.

After appearing in Gladiators: The Legends Return, Wolf says he rediscovered his hunger for gladiatorial contact and is “ready” for series 2. He will take on an Alex Ferguson-type role as team manager and act as mentor to the Gladiators, offering his pearls of wisdom to the likes of Oblivion, Tornado and Enigma. Wolf will also go face-to-face with his old nemesis, referee John Anderson, in what are sure to be some of the most explosive encounters in British entertainment television.


Olympians to face the challenge
And in a year of unprecedented Olympic success a team made up of former Olympians will face their biggest challenge yet as they battle with the Gladiators in a special edition of the family entertainment show. The new series will also see a Celebrity special, a Legends special, an Armed Forces special, and a straight head to head between the Gladiators Champions 2008 and Gladiators Champions 2009. ''
