The hosts for the upcoming reboot of Gladiators have been confirmed as Bradley and Barney Walsh. The father and son presenting duo will helm the iconic show when it returns on BBC later this year.
The hit sports game show was a Saturday night staple throughout the ‘90s and is being revived more than 20 years since the original series ended on New Year’s Day 2000. Gladiators saw contestants take part in a series of gruelling physical challenges against “superhuman” musclemen and women including Hunter, Jet, Panther, Cobra and Wolf.
Now it is set to make a comeback in its new home on BBC One and iPlayer. The new 11-part series – produced by Hungry Bear Media and MGM Television UK – will see brave contenders facing off against a new generation of Gladiators in the “ultimate test of speed and strength,” BBC says.
