00:00Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
00:10Do you have the will and the skill?
00:15Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:21It's best for beginners, I'll get down in your soul
00:27Are you a Gladiator?
00:30Are you a Gladiator?
00:55Are you a Gladiator?
01:01Merry Christmas and welcome to Gladiators Celebrity Special!
01:06Sheffield Arena, make some noise for your ho-ho hosts, Branly and Barney Walsh!
01:13I believe that in my self-dead, be the world that I won't be
01:20That's where I won't be, I've got the world to be a winner, and I've got the world to stay
01:25Hello, Sheffield!
01:30Oh, wow, what a crowd.
01:32We are back for a very special episode of...
01:35Gladiators!
01:37Yeah.
01:39Tonight, we have four famous faces
01:41taking on the Gladiators for a chance to be crowned
01:44our celebrity champion.
01:46But are they prepared to get whacked on the head
01:48with a massive lollipop?
01:50Let's not keep them waiting any longer
01:51and meet the first of tonight's star contenders.
01:55I'm Sam Thompson, I'm from London,
01:58and I've done too much,
02:00but I would say I'm a podcaster.
02:03The only thing I can correlate to doing something like this
02:05is the UNICEF Challenge,
02:06where I've ran from London to Manchester,
02:08260 miles in five days.
02:12That was different, because in your mind,
02:14you just have to go, I can't fail this.
02:17Like, I have to keep going forward,
02:18because I'm just going to let too many people down.
02:20The only person I'm going to let down on this is me.
02:23I'm 5'8".
02:24Hammer's, like, 10 foot tall.
02:27Do you know what someone said to me?
02:28Someone went, aim for the head.
02:29How?
02:33I'll tell you what,
02:33the bad ears better watch out,
02:35because I'm going to be up and down this corridor
02:37begging them to not go too hard on me.
02:40I'm Joe Wicks.
02:45I'm 39 years old from EPSA in Surrey.
02:48I think most people will remember me
02:50and recognise me from the P.E. with Joe work,
02:52as I did during lockdown.
02:53Keep jumping.
02:54In all honesty, I'm living a childhood dream here.
02:56I was born in 1985, so through the 90s,
02:58this show on a Saturday night was the biggest thing on TV,
03:01and I've got so many positive memories
03:02of just sitting there watching this.
03:03So to be here taking part as a contender is unbelievable.
03:09I can't pretend that I'm not scared.
03:10I have no idea if I can take a hit, to be honest.
03:13I've never really, like, you know, been in a fight
03:14or had a punch-up or had, like,
03:16a 20-stone bodybuilder come at me with a big cotton budge.
03:19You know what I mean?
03:19I don't know what's going to happen.
03:20Please welcome Joe Wicks and Sam Thompson.
03:26Sam, welcome to the show.
03:43Say hi to Sheffield.
03:45Hello, Sheffield.
03:46Come on!
03:47Now, look, Sam, you're a sporty guy, aren't you?
03:54It's all smoke and mirrors, mate.
03:55What events do you not want to take on?
03:57The duel just looks so scary.
04:00I weigh about 70 kg.
04:02A gust of wind would blow me off.
04:04It's so I'm terrified.
04:05I think, actually, I want to do the wall
04:07because I'm quite nimble, mate.
04:08Who would you want to face on the wall?
04:10Who would I want to face?
04:11Someone big, I reckon, like Hammer.
04:13Give me Hammer on the wall
04:14because he can't be that quick on it, surely.
04:16That's fighting words from Sam, guys.
04:18OK, if you were a gladiator, what would your name be?
04:22I'm the cockroach.
04:25You can't get rid of me.
04:27You don't know where I'm nesting.
04:28And I'm just always about...
04:29I'll always return.
04:32You can't stab me out, baby!
04:35Not even the hammer can get me!
04:38Ladies and gentlemen, it's the cockroach!
04:40Welcome, welcome to the show and into the arena, Joe.
04:46Please introduce yourself to Sheffield.
04:49I'm Joe Wicks, 39 years old,
04:51and I'm a fitness coach from Epsom!
04:53Come on!
04:55Now, you got the nation through the pandemic.
04:58Talk us through that.
04:59Come on.
04:59It was a difficult time,
05:00and I always say, you know,
05:01my proudest achievement in life
05:02is getting all them people,
05:03families and kids, moving.
05:05We've got to focus on exercise
05:06and looking after our mental health,
05:08so this is why I'm here.
05:08I want to inspire people.
05:09Yeah, well, that's exactly it.
05:11All right.
05:11Talking of families and friends,
05:13is your family here with you?
05:15I'm so excited to see my mum,
05:17my dad, my brothers.
05:18I've got me little boy, Marley, over there.
05:19Love you, Marley!
05:20Yes!
05:21All the families here,
05:22it's all happening.
05:23And if you were a gladiator,
05:24what would your name be?
05:25I am...
05:26Activate!
05:27Activate!
05:29OK.
05:31It's wonderful to have you on, gladiators.
05:33Have you any last words?
05:35I mean, have you ever...
05:36Have you got a message for the gladiators?
05:38I'm known as the nation's PE teacher,
05:39so today I'm going to go out there
05:41and teach every single one of them gladiators
05:43a lesson they're never going to forget.
05:44Yeah!
05:45Joe Wicks, everybody!
05:50Well, I tell you,
05:53they've trained, they've stretched,
05:55they've practised their fighting talk,
05:57but can they take on 130 kilos of pure muscle?
06:00Good luck, celebs.
06:01The first event starts now!
06:04Jewel.
06:06And the first of all,
06:07male celebrities on the Jewel podium.
06:08It's Sam!
06:12And he is up against Giants!
06:15How's this for a Christmas present?
06:25Giants back!
06:26Not sure he'd fit under my tree, though.
06:28A bicep injury meant he missed most of last series,
06:31but he's here now,
06:32and stronger than ever!
06:34Giants say the celebrity he'd most like to duel against
06:37is The Rock.
06:38Sam,
06:39maybe more of a pebble.
06:40Sam hosts the Staying Relevant podcast.
06:45In Jewel,
06:45it's more about staying upright.
06:50Over to the referee team,
06:52led by Mark Clattenburg,
06:54who, as always,
06:54is joined by Sonia McLomer
06:56and Lee Phillips.
06:59Contender,
07:00ready!
07:01Ready!
07:05Gladiator,
07:06ready!
07:07Ready!
07:07Ready!
07:10En Garde!
07:20Three,
07:22two,
07:23one!
07:24A very smiley Sam
07:25has the first couple of hits at Giant,
07:27who blocks them as casually as you like
07:30before biffing Sam
07:31with the first hit of his own.
07:33Sam managed to withstand it,
07:35and he's doing really well up there.
07:37Not sure his hits are actually hurting,
07:39Giant.
07:40But he might have a chance of going the distance here.
07:43Rocking backwards,
07:44but staying on the podium.
07:46Eight seconds,
07:47seven.
07:47Go on,
07:48Sam,
07:48you can do it.
07:49Giant trying to finish the job now.
07:51Sam is wobbling,
07:53and with one second to go,
07:55he's down.
08:02Two mighty blows to finish him off.
08:05Sam was cooked.
08:06Like the Christmas turkey.
08:08Flame grilled.
08:09If you'd have stayed on one second more,
08:13we had one second left,
08:15you'd have scored five points.
08:18Yes.
08:19Do you know what?
08:20It was not even the head hitting,
08:22it's the tiredness.
08:23Dude,
08:24I'm so tired.
08:25I've got to go for like a right.
08:27It just hits like something,
08:28and he just looks at me
08:29as if,
08:30is that what you've got?
08:32He was toying with you.
08:34I know.
08:35100%.
08:35A little bit,
08:36but I'll tell you what,
08:37he's been hitting his turkey, Brad.
08:38Here are some strong hits,
08:39so round of applause for Sam.
08:41Yes.
08:42Great job.
08:44Sadly,
08:44no points.
08:45Onward and upward
08:46to the next event.
08:47There is Sam,
08:47everyone.
08:48Sadly,
08:48no points.
08:49And of course,
08:50Giant.
08:58Next to Duel,
08:59it is Joe.
09:01And he is going to battle
09:04with Viper.
09:18Well,
09:19it's good to see
09:20that Viper hasn't changed,
09:22and a little bit scary
09:23to see as well.
09:25I expect Viper
09:26got a lump of coal
09:27in his stocking this year,
09:28same as last year,
09:29and the year before,
09:31and the year before.
09:33And he's taking on
09:34our national treasure
09:35of a PE teacher,
09:36Joe Wings,
09:37a.k.a. Activate.
09:40Please try not to break him,
09:42Viper.
09:44Contender,
09:45ready!
09:51Gladiator,
09:52ready!
09:57En garde!
10:04Three,
10:07two,
10:09one!
10:10Viper with the first hit,
10:12but did it come before
10:13the whistle?
10:14Joe is down,
10:15and Viper celebrates.
10:17But I suspect
10:18that will be looked at
10:19closely by Mark Klattenberg.
10:21You can hear what the arena thinks
10:23as Viper
10:24hurls his gloves down
10:26and defeated Joe.
10:27two hits from Viper
10:31to break Joe's heart.
10:33But did they come
10:34before the start?
10:37I'm seeing stars,
10:39boy!
10:39That was really hard.
10:40I was gonna...
10:41Sorry,
10:41I just weren't ready for it.
10:42When that first thing
10:43is a side of your head,
10:44you just,
10:44everything,
10:45well,
10:45I felt like I was upside down.
10:47I'm going on the opposite side.
10:49Yeah,
10:49stay away from Viper,
10:50that's why I'm all the way over here.
10:51Viper went before the whistle.
10:53What does that mean?
10:56What does that mean?
10:57Therefore,
10:58I'm disqualifying you.
11:00Oh!
11:02So I can award Joe
11:03five points.
11:05Put it there, bro.
11:07We're not bad all day long.
11:09Honestly,
11:09I cannot believe
11:10how it did feel a bit quit,
11:11and I landed on my head
11:12as well to make it worse.
11:13Look,
11:14two,
11:14one,
11:14you see that?
11:15Yeah, yeah.
11:16You see,
11:16the number was still on the screen,
11:18number one,
11:18it wasn't ready.
11:19And there's your evidence,
11:19you can't deny that,
11:20look,
11:20it's there.
11:21You're out of order,
11:22mate,
11:22you're out of order,
11:23but Vipes,
11:24the footage doesn't lie.
11:26Joe Wick,
11:27you like teaching kids.
11:30I hate kids.
11:34What do you use?
11:35Every single one you use.
11:37No!
11:39He's lying.
11:43That's an angry little man.
11:45He needs a cuddle.
11:46He does need a cuddle.
11:47Well,
11:48look,
11:49five points to you,
11:50Joe,
11:50put it there, mate.
11:52Vipers definitely still on the naughty list,
11:55but he's gifted Joe the lead.
11:57After the first event,
11:58he has five points.
11:59Sam yet to score.
12:00Let us meet our next pair of celebrity contenders.
12:07I'm Nicola Adams.
12:08I'm 42,
12:09from Leeds.
12:10I was the first ever women's Olympic boxing champion.
12:14I defended my title in 2016 to win gold again.
12:17Turned professional,
12:18became WBO world champion,
12:20and now I'm an actor.
12:23I retired from boxing in 2019.
12:25I still work out,
12:26still stay in shape,
12:27still like to go into the gym,
12:28you know,
12:29keep the guns looking good.
12:31I'm very strong,
12:34fast on my feet,
12:36very good hand-eye coordination.
12:39The gladiators are very professional,
12:41so I'm sure they're not scared,
12:42but once they see me perform out there,
12:44they will be.
12:47What is losing?
12:48I've never lost in my life.
12:50I'm a two-time Olympic boxing champion.
12:52I retired a few years ago,
12:54but you know what?
12:55I can still pack a punch.
12:56My name is Boge Williams.
13:02I am 39.
13:05I'm from Dublin in Ireland,
13:07and I'm a podcaster.
13:09And I actually thought it was so funny
13:10that I was like,
13:11I'm not actually going to tell you.
13:13Nice to see you,
13:14but did you really have to kiss me
13:15in front of my...
13:16Stop!
13:17The reaction of my family
13:18when I told them
13:19I was going to be a contender in gladiators
13:20was severe jealousy.
13:23It is something we grew up watching.
13:24I loved it.
13:26My upper body strength
13:31is embarrassing.
13:33The one thing I'm really concerned about
13:35is the rope,
13:35because I can't lift myself up,
13:37because most of my weight
13:38is down the lower half of my body.
13:40I want to do well in everything.
13:42I want to compete.
13:43I want to try to win.
13:45And if I don't win,
13:46I'm just going to rob you
13:48as blind of costumes,
13:49and that was true.
13:50No.
13:50Give a warm welcome
13:55to Nicola Adams
13:56and Vogue Williams.
13:58Welcome to the show,
14:15Nicola.
14:15Introduce yourself to the arena.
14:18I'm Nicola Adams.
14:19I'm 42.
14:19I'm from Leeds,
14:20and I'm an actor,
14:21an Olympic champion.
14:22Yes!
14:25Olympic champion!
14:27The first ever
14:28female gold medal
14:30boxing champion.
14:32What a bummer!
14:34What events
14:35are you looking to take on?
14:37I'm really looking forward
14:38to the gauntlet.
14:39Oh, yeah.
14:40Bit of you, that.
14:40Yeah, yeah.
14:41I want to test
14:42the gladiators.
14:44Any gladiators
14:45you fear?
14:46I fear no one.
14:51Let's hear it
14:52for Nicola Adams!
14:55Vogue, welcome
14:56to the show.
14:57Say hi to the arena.
14:58Hello, champion!
15:00Legends!
15:02Now, listen, Vogue,
15:03I've got to ask you,
15:04are you sporty?
15:04I would like to say
15:05I'm a little bit sporty.
15:07Probably not that sporty,
15:08but sporty in my own way.
15:09Do you think
15:10you can survive this?
15:11I think that
15:12I'm really good
15:13at beating Olympians,
15:14actually.
15:15That was who
15:16I beat in Bear Grylls.
15:17Yeah!
15:18Yeah, you beat
15:18two Olympians
15:19in Bear Grylls.
15:20I know,
15:20and I like to collect them,
15:22so I'm looking
15:22for a third!
15:24Some fighting words here!
15:28OK, that being said,
15:29what do you want
15:30to take on?
15:30What do you not
15:31want to take on?
15:31I'm a bit worried
15:32about the climbing wall,
15:33upper body strength
15:34not there,
15:35not mad about being chased
15:36by anyone,
15:37particularly a gladiator.
15:39Imagine doing
15:39the Eliminator,
15:40like, I've always,
15:41I've wanted to do that
15:42since I was eight,
15:42so yeah, all of it.
15:43Well, look,
15:44you're going to do
15:44the Eliminator,
15:45that's guaranteed
15:46at the end of the show.
15:47Yeah, I can't wait.
15:48massive round of applause
15:51for Nicola and Vogue!
15:54Well, those are
15:55our female celebrities,
15:57so now it's time
15:58for them to take on...
16:00...Duel.
16:02Oh, yes,
16:03playing duel
16:04for the female celebrities.
16:05It's Nicola!
16:06And she is up against
16:11Fury!
16:23She's back
16:23and just as ferocious
16:25as ever!
16:30If Fury could be an animal,
16:32she says she'd be
16:32a koala bear
16:33because they're so friendly.
16:35Well, let's see
16:36about that, shall we?
16:38Undefeated
16:39in the pro boxing ring,
16:41but will Nicola
16:41make it through gladiators
16:43without losing?
16:47Contender,
16:48ready!
16:54Gladiator,
16:54ready!
16:55En Garde!
17:08Three,
17:09two,
17:10one...
17:11One-on-one combat,
17:12just how Nicola likes it,
17:13but she's not enjoying
17:14these clothes from Fury
17:16and falls onto her podium,
17:18which means it's over
17:19before she even got started.
17:25With boxing gloves,
17:28the best,
17:29with a pugil stick,
17:30second best.
17:32I'd say
17:32that's a knockout.
17:35Ah, Nicola,
17:36I'm cutting for you.
17:38I am as well.
17:39I was a little bit
17:39off balance
17:40when she caught me.
17:41Yeah.
17:41And then that was it.
17:42Well, I guess you're
17:43used to getting hit
17:43around the head,
17:44but not with a pugil stick.
17:45Yeah, no,
17:45it was very,
17:46very different,
17:47but do you know what?
17:48Another Yorkshire person,
17:49you know,
17:49I don't mind.
17:50I don't mind.
17:51And not only that,
17:53I was very excited
17:54for this
17:54because you're both
17:55great British athletes
17:56at the top of your field,
17:57so this was about
17:58and a half.
17:59Well,
17:59I've got to be honest,
18:00Nicola.
18:01If you told my 12-year-old self
18:03that I'm going to be
18:04on the podium
18:04with my childhood hero,
18:06I won't believe you.
18:10Yeah.
18:11And I remember
18:1312-year-old me,
18:14I was watching you
18:15at 2012 Olympics.
18:16You were so powerful,
18:17so physical.
18:18Thank you
18:19for inspiring me
18:20when I was a little.
18:20Yeah.
18:21Yeah.
18:24That is Nicola
18:26and of course
18:27our Gladiator Fury.
18:33Next on the podium,
18:34Fugil stick in hand.
18:36It's Vogue.
18:38And she is taking on
18:40Sabre.
18:41On Christmas morning,
18:56Sabre likes to rip up
18:57all her paper,
18:58knock over her tree
18:59and hide in a cardboard box.
19:02All totally normal.
19:04Fug say she has most of her weight
19:06in her lower body.
19:07Good, good.
19:08A stable base is exactly
19:09what you need
19:10to stay on that podium.
19:14Contender,
19:15ready!
19:20Gladiator,
19:21ready!
19:25En garde!
19:263, 2, 1!
19:38Vogue is a very confident contender.
19:41Sabre's going to try
19:41and knock that out of her
19:42and knock her off the podium
19:44very quickly indeed.
19:49Sabre is on Vogue.
19:51Vogue is on the floor.
19:52No gifts from Sabre,
20:00even at Christmas.
20:01She shows no mercy.
20:05Sabre, do you know what?
20:06You're a snake.
20:07You are a snake.
20:08She stood up there
20:09and she goes,
20:09I'm only going to go
20:10a little bit hard.
20:11Straight to the face.
20:13Girl, that was only a little.
20:14That was 10% of what I got.
20:16That was straight in the face.
20:17Straight in the face.
20:19Did anyone notice
20:20that little sly dig
20:22to the head there
20:22right before the whistle?
20:24Oh, I tell you what,
20:25I think that was
20:26right on the button.
20:27Right on the button, babe.
20:28I wouldn't do that.
20:28I'm not a cheat, okay?
20:29That last shot of mine
20:30was right on the button too,
20:31wasn't it, maybe?
20:33Can I have a go
20:34of your ears, please?
20:35Watch this.
20:38Wolverine.
20:43Better luck
20:43in the next of those
20:44Vogue sagging no points,
20:45but Sabre, everyone.
20:46What about that?
20:49Whilst Vogue and Sabre
20:51settle their differences
20:52outside the arena,
20:53let's take a look
20:54at the scores,
20:55which won't take long.
20:56Both contenders
20:57still working off
20:58their Christmas dinner.
20:59It's scoreless.
21:02Now, last series.
21:05One of our gladiators
21:06was left cheering on
21:07from the sidelines.
21:08But this year,
21:10he's back,
21:11fighting fit
21:11and faster than ever.
21:13Fully charged
21:13and ready to go.
21:14Sheffield go wild
21:16for the one and only
21:17Nitro!
21:19Now, that's what I wanted
21:38for Christmas.
21:39Nitro's back
21:40and raring to go.
21:42We'll see him
21:42very soon.
21:43I think it's safe
21:50to say
21:50we're so happy
21:51that he's back.
21:52Oh, look,
21:53our celebrities
21:53are all high flyers
21:55in their chosen field.
21:56So are the gladiators.
21:57And when you're
21:58at the top of your game,
21:58you have much further
21:59to fall.
22:00A bit like
22:01our next event.
22:02It's
22:02Collision!
22:05Collision.
22:06Playing Collision
22:10for the male contenders,
22:11it's Sam!
22:15And he needs to avoid
22:17Phantom and Apollo!
22:22Never one to ghost
22:23the competition,
22:24Phantom is set
22:25for a full-on collision
22:27with our celebrity contenders.
22:30Apollo's favourite
22:31Christmas film
22:31is out.
22:32He's no
22:33cotton-headed
22:34ninny-muggins
22:34and facing him
22:36might be bad
22:36for our celebrities.
22:38Elf.
22:40And opposite them
22:41will be these two.
22:45Bionic wants
22:46human emotions.
22:47Well, he's programmed
22:48to win,
22:49so I'm sure
22:49he'll unwrap
22:50some euphoria
22:51very soon.
22:53Steel firmly believes
22:54that Die Hard
22:55is a Christmas movie.
22:57Now there's a debate.
22:58Another time, maybe.
22:59He's got work to do.
23:02Contender,
23:04ready!
23:07Gladiators,
23:09ready!
23:13Three,
23:14two,
23:15one!
23:16OK, Sam,
23:17what have you got?
23:18Because I think
23:18we know
23:19what you're going to get.
23:21He's providing
23:21his own soundtrack
23:22as he tries to dodge
23:23the swinging gladiators.
23:25Puts the brakes on nicely
23:26and goes again.
23:28Mark Klanberg
23:29will have a word
23:29and tell him
23:30to keep moving,
23:31but he has at least
23:32made his first score.
23:33Two points on the fourth
23:34for Sam.
23:36Well, he does call himself
23:37a cockroach,
23:37so crawling is
23:38one way across.
23:41Evades,
23:41steel nicely there
23:42and gets in
23:43for another two points.
23:45Sam's getting the hang
23:46of this now.
23:47Or maybe he's too confident
23:49that a shout of move
23:50from the ref
23:50and the showboating
23:52didn't last much longer.
23:54You don't do that
23:55to gladiators
23:55and get away with it.
23:57Down you go, Sam.
23:58Down you go, Sam.
24:02Was that you?
24:06A gutsy run
24:07from Sam,
24:08but once he got
24:09the one, two, three
24:10from Bionic,
24:11his legs
24:12wouldn't compute
24:12anymore.
24:14That was class.
24:15That was so much fun.
24:17Wow.
24:18He's enormous.
24:19They're all enormous.
24:20They're all enormous.
24:22I've got to say,
24:22as well,
24:23one of you
24:24was hanging there.
24:25I was just
24:25looking you
24:26in the eyes
24:26going,
24:27I don't know
24:27what to do,
24:28he's so big.
24:29I really panicked.
24:30To be knocked
24:31off the bridge
24:31by someone like you,
24:32mate,
24:32weirdly,
24:33is a pleasure.
24:35I think that's
24:36the first time
24:37a contender's
24:37ever said that.
24:38Bionic,
24:39you were the one
24:39that got him off.
24:40He launched himself
24:41at me like
24:42he wanted a cuddle.
24:43And I've never
24:44seen anyone
24:45so happy on
24:46collision
24:46in my entire life.
24:49We've got a cuddle
24:49in the end,
24:50didn't we?
24:50We've got a cuddle
24:51in the end.
24:52That's four points
24:53for Sam.
25:03Next to face
25:04collision.
25:05It's Joe.
25:09Contender,
25:11ready.
25:15Gladiators,
25:16ready.
25:17Three,
25:21two,
25:22one.
25:23Now,
25:23I don't know
25:24about you,
25:24but I'm expecting
25:25Joe to be really
25:26nimble across
25:27the collision bridge.
25:29And he's nicely
25:30passed the first
25:30two gladiators
25:31trying to knock
25:32him down to the
25:33floor.
25:34Phantom's knocked
25:34the ball from
25:35his hand,
25:35so he can't score
25:36with that one.
25:37Has to take a
25:38fresh red ball
25:39and go back
25:39the other way.
25:41Impressive swerving
25:42from Joe,
25:43who's got really
25:43good core strength
25:45with that
25:45wobbly bridge
25:46beneath him.
25:47He throws that
25:48ball into the net
25:49for his first
25:49two points.
25:51Now Joe seems
25:51to be getting
25:52the hang of it,
25:53but he's in a
25:53spin here.
25:54Almost knocked
25:55off.
25:56Phantom swings
25:57and misses.
25:58Joe gets in
25:59to make it
25:59four.
26:00Now,
26:01how many more
26:01could he score?
26:03He's given
26:03Phantom the slip
26:04again,
26:05but then a bit
26:06of a stumble
26:06from Joe.
26:07He's trying to
26:08make the best
26:08of it by crawling
26:09his way
26:09underneath the
26:10gladiator's
26:11swinging feet.
26:12Look at Sonja
26:13giving him
26:13some real
26:14encouragement.
26:15Oh,
26:16Joe's dropped
26:16the ball again.
26:17He'll have to
26:18go across the
26:19bridge,
26:19and I don't
26:19think he's
26:20going to have
26:20any time to
26:21score any
26:21more points.
26:23No,
26:23the game is
26:23up.
26:24Joe is left
26:25stranded on
26:26six,
26:27but a great
26:28effort to at
26:29least stay
26:30the course.
26:32He took
26:33blows from
26:33Bionic.
26:34He had brushes
26:35with steel.
26:36He was dropping
26:37the ball.
26:38It was all
26:38happening for
26:39Joe.
26:42That's
26:42exhausting.
26:43So much
26:43harder than it
26:44looks.
26:44Yeah,
26:44so much harder
26:45than it looks.
26:46Three balls
26:46in,
26:47six points.
26:48Brilliant
26:48stuff.
26:49Are you happy
26:49with that?
26:49I'll take it.
26:50I'm happy
26:50with that.
26:50No,
26:51absolutely.
26:51It's a good
26:52start.
26:52Good contender.
26:54Absolutely.
26:54I'm going to
26:55crown him as
26:55not-so-average
26:56Joe.
26:58I've got to
26:58say as well,
26:59how good is
26:59it that we
27:00are back?
27:02Well,
27:02I'm Joe
27:03everyone.
27:03Good one
27:04up for Joe.
27:06After two
27:07events,
27:07Joe activates
27:08a seven-point
27:09lead.
27:10He's on
27:1011,
27:11while Sam
27:11has four.
27:14Look at this
27:14side.
27:16What?
27:17This is better than
27:17our best,
27:18this is sick.
27:19Oh,
27:19rice cake.
27:20Who's this?
27:20Steel.
27:21Yeah,
27:22they're approved.
27:22Have some of them.
27:23They're approved.
27:24I want to see you.
27:25Stick one in their
27:25outfits and see if you feel
27:27that proper belly.
27:27I'll put giants on.
27:28Yeah.
27:29It's going to be loose,
27:30isn't it?
27:31Yeah,
27:31it's fine.
27:32Yeah,
27:32go straight through.
27:33That's it.
27:34I'll keep an eye on him.
27:37If he comes in,
27:37I'm going to smash him.
27:39Oh,
27:39Matt,
27:39it's a little baggy
27:40on the crotch.
27:42Do I look like giant?
27:43You look good,
27:44but you need to pump
27:45the chest up,
27:45mate.
27:45You need more of a divot,
27:46you know,
27:46more of a dent in the chest.
27:47There we go,
27:48that's it.
27:48The thing is,
27:50they do walk around
27:50like this,
27:51don't they?
27:51Yeah,
27:51they're definitely tense.
27:52Here we go,
27:52ready?
27:53Let's hit it.
27:55Oh,
27:55oh.
27:57Oh,
27:58no!
27:58No!
27:59What the hell are you doing here?
28:01No!
28:01No!
28:02No!
28:03Put me down!
28:06Get out of here.
28:07No!
28:08It's the most humiliating thing
28:09on the ground.
28:10Oh,
28:10hell yeah!
28:14Playing collision
28:15for the female contenders.
28:17Give it up for Nicola!
28:20And she's going to have to dodge
28:22Sabre and Electro.
28:25These two gladiators
28:26form a real power couple.
28:28Electro is a collision veteran,
28:30so these celebrities,
28:32well,
28:32they're in for a shock.
28:35And joining them
28:37are Fire
28:37and Comet.
28:41Winter's normally
28:42the time to get cosy
28:43by a fire.
28:45Just not this one.
28:49Contender,
28:51ready!
28:51Gladiators,
28:55ready!
28:59Three,
29:00two,
29:01one!
29:02So,
29:03Nicola's turn
29:03to take on
29:04the collision bridge
29:05or just take it apart.
29:07How easy was that?
29:08Two points scored
29:10straight away.
29:11And she's having a chat
29:13with the gladiators,
29:14a friendly greeting.
29:15It nearly came back
29:16to bite
29:16and knocked up her feet
29:18for a good recovery
29:19from Nicola,
29:20who is absolutely
29:21loving it up there.
29:23Bob and Weave,
29:24well,
29:24this is all part
29:25of a boxer's training.
29:27Six points scored
29:28and surely more to come.
29:31The gladiators
29:31have made contact
29:33with Nicola a few times,
29:34but she's been
29:35more than strong enough
29:36to see them off.
29:37And she's certainly
29:38quick enough
29:39and she should be
29:40happy enough
29:41with her efforts here.
29:43She's got time
29:44to make it ten points
29:45if she can evade
29:46the gladiators
29:47once more.
29:48She might even make it.
29:49Twelve,
29:50there's ten.
29:51Go on, Nicola.
29:52Ten seconds left
29:53on the clock.
29:54A little more hesitant
29:55this time, Nicola.
29:56And she's slowing.
29:58The stumble won't help.
30:00I think she's going
30:01to run out of time now.
30:03That's it.
30:04Ten points scored.
30:06We don't see that
30:07on collision often.
30:11There were a few
30:12close calls,
30:13but Nicola rolled
30:14with the punches.
30:15Well, the kicks anyway.
30:17What else could
30:18we have expected?
30:21A brilliant performance.
30:24Giving the gladiators
30:25a run for the money.
30:26That's exactly what it is.
30:27That's what you've got to do.
30:29And Sabre,
30:30Nicola put you
30:30in a right spin.
30:31She really did.
30:32You're probably a bit more
30:33used to fist flying
30:34at your face and feet,
30:35but you're not
30:35in the ring now, babe.
30:36You're in the arena
30:37and we're just getting warmed up.
30:38Yeah, well, you say that.
30:40You are the undefeated
30:41champion of the world
30:43here on the collision
30:43for us, aren't you?
30:44Oh, can you say that again
30:46just to make sure
30:47they hear that?
30:47Yeah.
30:48I said the undefeated
30:50collision champion
30:51of the world
30:52because there you go.
30:53Five crossings,
30:54ten points.
30:56Unbelievable.
30:57Nicola Adams, everyone,
30:58of course,
30:59our brilliant gladiators.
31:04Next up on collision,
31:06it's Vogue.
31:07Vogue.
31:11Contender,
31:13ready.
31:18Gladiators,
31:19ready.
31:23Three,
31:24two,
31:25one.
31:26Let's see if Vogue
31:27can last longer
31:28on the collision bridge
31:29than she managed
31:30on the dual podium.
31:32Well, it's not a bad start,
31:33is it?
31:33She's huffed and puffed
31:35her way across
31:35to two points.
31:37Now carefully studying
31:39the gladiators,
31:40working out when best
31:41to time the run,
31:43and it looks as though
31:44she's done it.
31:44She's across for four.
31:46Vogue's getting the hang
31:47of this.
31:48She's finding a nice rhythm
31:49now,
31:50all but she's got to make
31:51sure she hangs
31:52onto the ball.
31:54One, two,
31:54three,
31:55another you needed
31:56reminding of just how
31:57difficult collision is.
31:59Listen to Vogue's breathing.
32:01This is taking a lot
32:02out of her.
32:03She does, though,
32:04still have time
32:04for more scores.
32:07Evading Electro,
32:08fighting fire,
32:10all the time
32:10keeping an eye
32:11on Comet.
32:12Now Vogue has to get
32:13back to her feet
32:14and go.
32:15Sonia McLemar
32:15waving her
32:16towards the net.
32:18Two more points
32:19scored.
32:20I don't know
32:21if she's got the energy
32:22to get back
32:22one more time.
32:24Three,
32:24two,
32:25one.
32:26That's it for Vogue.
32:28One last shot
32:29for Luck.
32:29Well saved, Mark.
32:35Vogue's height
32:36meant a lot of time
32:37ducking low,
32:38but she scored
32:38pretty high.
32:39Six is very
32:40respectable.
32:42Now,
32:43to be here
32:44up against the
32:44gladiators,
32:45like,
32:45how does it feel?
32:46I mean,
32:46genuinely,
32:47this is a childhood
32:49dream.
32:49We used to
32:50batter each other
32:51at home,
32:52trying to be gladiators,
32:53and I think it's
32:54kind of prepared me
32:55for a little bit
32:55of a beating in here.
32:56How is she as a
32:57contender?
32:57She is absolutely
32:58great,
32:58because she smashed it.
33:00That is six points
33:01to Vogue.
33:03Thank you
33:04to Vogue
33:04and our gladiators.
33:06Yes!
33:07What's up?
33:08What's up?
33:09Woo-hoo!
33:10Finally,
33:10some Christmas cheer.
33:12Both celebrities
33:13are on the board,
33:14and not for the first
33:15time.
33:15Nicola's ahead
33:16on points.
33:18Our next event
33:19is the wall,
33:20and the key
33:20to success here
33:21is...
33:21Get a massive ladder.
33:23No,
33:23it's strength
33:24and determination.
33:25Ladder all day long.
33:26It's the wall!
33:27I'm getting a ladder.
33:28What is wrong with you?
33:29The ball.
33:32Climbing the wall
33:33for the male
33:33contenders.
33:34In red,
33:35it is Joe!
33:36And in blue,
33:40it is Sam!
33:44And hunting them down
33:45will be
33:46Nitro
33:47and Hammer!
33:48I hope Hammer
34:04climbs better
34:05than he dances
34:05because he might
34:07have something
34:07to prove to Sam.
34:08Is he too big
34:09to climb fast?
34:11Or has Sam
34:12talked too much?
34:14Hammer excels
34:16at clobbering contenders,
34:17but he can knock
34:18out a perfect hem
34:19too.
34:20With his size
34:21and speed,
34:21he's tailor-made
34:22for this event.
34:27Contenders,
34:29ready!
34:31Let's go!
34:34Gladiators,
34:35ready!
34:36Let's go!
34:38Contenders,
34:39you will go
34:39on my first whistle.
34:41Gladiators,
34:42you will go
34:42on my second whistle.
34:44Three,
34:45two,
34:46one!
34:47Away they go
34:48and Joe in red
34:49will have to climb
34:50particularly quickly
34:51because Nitro's back
34:53and this is one
34:54of his best events.
34:55It's wonderful
34:56to see him back.
34:57I'm not sure
34:57that Joe will agree.
34:58He's on him already
34:59and he's got a hold
35:01of the harness
35:01as on the other side
35:03Sam just keeps
35:04out of the clutches
35:05of Hammer.
35:06Maybe he was right.
35:07He could be about
35:08to beat him
35:08on the wall.
35:10There'll be no
35:10beating Nitro though.
35:12Joe is off
35:13and that
35:14leaves the way clear
35:15for Sam
35:16to haul himself
35:17over the top
35:18for ten points.
35:20Sam nails
35:21Hammer and the wall.
35:23Joe caught
35:24by a re-energized Nitro.
35:27Sam,
35:28I've got one thing
35:28to say to you.
35:29You made it
35:29to the top of the wall.
35:33Wow!
35:34I feel like
35:34a little whippet.
35:36That was mad.
35:36I'd already just
35:37fall off things.
35:38Well, look,
35:38you've done so well
35:39there.
35:40That's a massive
35:40ten points.
35:44Bam on the floor
35:44here with Joe.
35:46You up against Nitro.
35:47Once you lose that
35:48foot and you lose
35:49momentum,
35:49he had me.
35:50He's a strong guy.
35:51He's a unit.
35:52I won't get in
35:52away from him then.
35:53Nitro,
35:54how does it feel
35:54to be back?
35:55It feels absolutely
35:56amazing to be back
35:58home in Sheffield.
36:00But look,
36:01my guy slipped.
36:02And when you slip
36:03on this wall,
36:03it's so unforgiving.
36:05So I've got to give
36:06him massive props.
36:07Let's hear it
36:07for Joe.
36:08Come on!
36:10Sam as well,
36:11obviously.
36:12What happened there,
36:13mate?
36:13You had a shocker,
36:14if you don't mind
36:14me saying.
36:15Yeah,
36:15he did go to plan.
36:16You know what?
36:16His nickname should
36:17be Squirrel,
36:18the way he went up
36:18there.
36:18You know what I mean?
36:19My thanks to Nitro,
36:21Hammer,
36:22Joe,
36:23and of course,
36:23ten points for Sam!
36:29Well,
36:29well,
36:30the cockroach
36:31climbs into the lead.
36:32After three events,
36:33Sam has 14 points.
36:35Joe's on 11.
36:37Time now for the
36:38female contenders.
36:39On the left-hand side,
36:41it is Nicola.
36:43And on the right-hand side,
36:45it's Vogue.
36:48And they have got to get away
36:49from Dynamite
36:51and Cyclone.
36:53Ready or not,
36:55you're my mum,
36:56you can hide,
36:58you're my mum,
37:01and they,
37:02you're one,
37:04now that I'm
37:05against you.
37:06Cyclone straight across
37:07to get in Vogue's face,
37:09but she's not fazed.
37:10It's time for the
37:11All-Island Games.
37:13This will be Cyclone's
37:14debut on the wall.
37:15The wall
37:16should be worried.
37:17Dynamite is small
37:21and mighty
37:22and she's ready
37:23to have a ripping time.
37:30Contenders,
37:31ready!
37:35Gladiators,
37:36ready!
37:40Contenders,
37:41you will go on my
37:42first whistle.
37:43Gladiators,
37:44you will go on my
37:44second whistle.
37:46Three,
37:47two,
37:48one!
37:48Upper body strength
37:49was Vogue's big concern.
37:51We know that won't be
37:52a problem for Nicola.
37:54They're both climbing
37:55really well from the start
37:56though,
37:57but here we go.
37:58Vogue's been caught
37:59by Cyclone
38:00and Dynamite
38:01has got to hold
38:02on Nicola.
38:03How long can they
38:04hold on?
38:05It's not about
38:06the climbing anymore.
38:08Oh, really good
38:09adjustment from Nicola,
38:10but Vogue has gone.
38:11Now Nicola's
38:13clinging on
38:13with everything
38:14she's got
38:14with Dynamite
38:15hanging off her.
38:18But that's it.
38:19It's all over
38:20on the wall
38:21with neither
38:23of our celebrity
38:24contenders
38:25scoring any points
38:27at all.
38:29There's a record
38:30I hear.
38:30There is.
38:31It's a new record.
38:32It's the quickest
38:32takedown from the wall
38:33we've ever seen.
38:35I'm glad
38:35it is.
38:37I'm so sorry.
38:38Don't do that.
38:39Sorry.
38:41I've got to ask you
38:42first though,
38:42Vogue,
38:42intimidating tactics
38:44from Cyclone
38:45in your face.
38:46I mean,
38:46honestly,
38:47I've never seen
38:48such a behaviour
38:48Cyclone.
38:50Very, very quick
38:51indeed.
38:51Out of the blocks,
38:52what do you think?
38:53This is actually
38:53my wall debut.
38:55Oh!
38:56Oh, yeah!
38:58Oh, yeah!
39:01I don't think
39:02anyone would expect
39:03a 5'10
39:0496 kilo
39:05stallion
39:06to be able
39:07to move that fast,
39:08but clearly I can.
39:09That might not have been
39:14our thing,
39:15but what you see
39:15is for the next one.
39:16You're going down,
39:17especially you.
39:18Oh!
39:20Get down!
39:21Oh!
39:24See you, Vogue!
39:26While Cyclone
39:27sweeps Vogue away,
39:28let's take a look
39:29at the scores.
39:31And with nothing
39:32gained from the wall,
39:33Nicola still leads
39:34by 10 points to 6.
39:35next up,
39:39it's Gauntlet.
39:40And this one
39:40is very physical,
39:42and there's a chance
39:43people could get hurt.
39:44But what kind of person
39:45wants to watch celebrities
39:46being battered
39:47by a gang of superheroes?
39:48It's Gauntlet!
39:52Gauntlets!
39:55Daring to take on
39:56the Gauntlet
39:57for the male contenders
39:58is Sam!
40:02And he'll be facing
40:04this fearsome 5.
40:05Phantom,
40:11Nitro,
40:12Steel,
40:13Bionic,
40:13and Apollo!
40:18No!
40:19Stop me!
40:22No!
40:23Stop me!
40:24Whoa!
40:26Oh!
40:29Having taken down
40:30Joe on the wall,
40:32Nitro now has the chance
40:33to defeat Sam too.
40:34Can he stamp out
40:36the cockroach
40:37for good?
40:41Contender,
40:42ready!
40:47Gladiators,
40:48ready!
40:52Three,
40:53two,
40:54one!
40:56I wonder if ever
40:56Bouncy Sam
40:57will still be cheerful
40:59by the end of this.
41:01Well, he's managed
41:01to get past
41:02the first two zones,
41:03away from Steel
41:05and into Phantom.
41:06He's wriggling about
41:07in there is Sam,
41:09but he's done the job
41:10well so far.
41:11Now,
41:12only Apollo to beat
41:13and he's got there!
41:14A dive over the line
41:16from Sam,
41:17who is ecstatic!
41:19What a ride!
41:21What a ride!
41:23El Cockroach
41:24strikes again!
41:26Come on,
41:27the cockroach!
41:27You can't get rid
41:28of the cockroach,
41:29baby!
41:32Oh,
41:33one second.
41:34Our referee,
41:34Mark Clatenberg,
41:35has something to say.
41:36Oh!
41:37Oh!
41:38Oh!
41:40Sam,
41:41we've looked at the VAR.
41:42Unfortunately,
41:45your foot
41:46wasn't over the line.
41:48No!
41:50Therefore,
41:51you've only completed
41:53four zones
41:54and I can only award you
41:56eight points.
41:58V!
42:00Nah,
42:01Sam,
42:01how do you feel about that?
42:02What the hell is this game?
42:04What the hell?
42:05I guess Mark Clatenberg
42:07has the final word,
42:08the rules are the rules.
42:09No,
42:09I never liked Clatenberg,
42:10to be honest with you.
42:11You always used to do
42:13Chelsea dirty
42:13and you're doing me dirty now.
42:17That's a points to Sam!
42:20Come on!
42:27Next up,
42:27on the Gord Club run,
42:29it is Joe!
42:34Contender,
42:35Ruddy!
42:36Gladiators,
42:41Gladiators,
42:42ready!
42:46Three,
42:47two,
42:48one!
42:49Well,
42:49Joe looks ready for this.
42:51One way,
42:52then the other,
42:52to get past Nitro
42:53and he's wriggled his way
42:55through Steel as well.
42:57Phantom's not going to be beaten
42:58quite so easily
42:59but there he goes.
43:01Joe is into zone four
43:02where Bionic can't pull,
43:04he gets a grip with him.
43:05Joe there tried to dive
43:06underneath the pull-out,
43:08he's through now!
43:09Ten points for Joe!
43:11He successfully runs
43:12the Gauntlet!
43:16That was amazing!
43:18You've got to be happy,
43:19but what a tactic!
43:20Dodge and weave,
43:21dodge and weave,
43:21you're brilliant!
43:22I just went for it,
43:23man,
43:23I'm so glad I finished there
43:24because I was worried.
43:25It's so intimidating
43:26when you look at him down there
43:27you think you're never
43:27going to get through him
43:28but I did it!
43:29Yeah,
43:30you absolutely did!
43:32A quick old shimmy
43:33and he was gone.
43:34Mate,
43:34that little shimmy
43:35was lovely!
43:36I enjoyed that one,
43:37I was caught dazed!
43:39Ten points for Joe!
43:42What a result for Joe!
43:45Sam thought he'd scored
43:46maximum two
43:47until Clattenburg
43:48the Grinch got involved.
43:49Sam still leads
43:50but takes a razor-thin
43:51advantage
43:52into the eliminator.
43:53He's got 22 points,
43:54Joe's on 21.
43:58Taking on the gauntlet
43:59for the female celebrities,
44:01it's Nicola!
44:05And she is up against
44:07the power of...
44:13Dynamite,
44:14Electro,
44:15Fury,
44:15Comics
44:16and Cyclone!
44:23It wouldn't be Christmas
44:32without Comet
44:33and the other reindeer.
44:35She's ready to switch it up
44:36from pulling the sleigh
44:37to slaying
44:38our celebrity contender.
44:45Contender ready!
44:47Gladiators,
44:52ready!
44:56Three,
44:57two,
44:58one!
44:59Well, I would think
45:00Nicola will do
45:00pretty well here.
45:01She's straight past Comet
45:03but, oh!
45:03She takes a bashing
45:05from Electro
45:06and she hits the canvas.
45:08She's not used to that.
45:09Quickly back to her feet, though
45:11and into Zone 5
45:12in the blink of an eye.
45:14Cyclone stops her
45:15for a while
45:16but she can't stop her fully.
45:18Ten points, Nicola.
45:19We knew that was coming.
45:25They really wanted
45:26to stop you.
45:27Yeah, they really did.
45:28They really tried
45:29but, do you know what?
45:30Cream always rises
45:31to the top, baby!
45:32Oh!
45:33I love it!
45:34We got the shot
45:35from Electro
45:36that took you,
45:36that put you down there
45:37and you got straight back up.
45:39Boom!
45:39See ya!
45:40This is the first time
45:42I've ever been down
45:42because, you know what?
45:44I got back up and won.
45:45Yeah!
45:45Electro, you did it, mate!
45:47To be fair to her,
45:48I probably am wearing
45:49the biggest pair of boxing gloves
45:50she's ever fought against her.
45:53Absolutely brilliant.
45:54Ten points,
45:54gotta be happy on that.
45:55Thanks!
45:56Absolutely positive for that!
45:58Thanks, everyone!
45:58Let's go!
46:02Our next female celebrity
46:03to run the gondor,
46:04it's Vogue!
46:05Contender!
46:10Contender!
46:11Ready!
46:15Gladiators!
46:17Ready!
46:20Three, two, one!
46:22Vogue as strong as Nicola,
46:25Vogue will have to use
46:26her guile and skill here.
46:28She is into zone three, though.
46:31And she's trying to slide
46:32her way past Dynamite.
46:34Mark Glanberg gives
46:35the signal to release.
46:37Fury hasn't done any damage
46:38at all with that claw.
46:40It's left a cyclo
46:41to try and prevent Vogue
46:42from going all the way.
46:44She can't do it!
46:45Vogue has done it!
46:46What a run that was!
46:49Mate, congratulations!
46:51You made it to the end
46:51of the gauntlet!
46:53Listen, I'm as surprised
46:54as everybody else
46:55are delighted!
46:57Dynamite,
46:58you were with her
46:58at zone three.
47:00You held her back
47:00for quite a while there,
47:01I've got to say.
47:02Yeah, I mean,
47:03fair play for actually
47:04coming in and facing us
47:05because one gladiator
47:06is very scary,
47:08but five of us,
47:09you smashed it.
47:12Ten points to you, Blake!
47:14Thank you to Vogue
47:15and our gladiators!
47:16Careful!
47:24After four events,
47:26Vogue has 16 points
47:27and is chasing down
47:28the Olympic champion,
47:30but Nicola maintains
47:31her lead with 20,
47:32so she's got the advantage
47:33for the eliminator.
47:35Oh, wow!
47:37Yeah!
47:38What a show!
47:39Thank you so much!
47:40Just one final event
47:41stands between
47:42our star contenders
47:43and victory.
47:45It's just like
47:46a VIP after-party,
47:47but less champagne
47:48and more sweat.
47:49Yes, and the only thing
47:50being popped
47:51are hamstrings.
47:52Here we go!
47:54It's the eliminator!
47:56The eliminator!
47:57It's time for contender
48:01against contender
48:02in a head-to-head race
48:03across this iconic course
48:05now even more demanding
48:06with an all-new
48:08tougher balance beam
48:09to traverse
48:10before taking on
48:11the legendary
48:12Travelator.
48:13The winner
48:14of the eliminator
48:15will be crowned
48:16Celebrity Champion.
48:19Any points advantage
48:20now converts
48:21into a head start,
48:22so with Sam
48:23one point ahead,
48:24he takes just
48:25a half-second lead
48:26over Joe.
48:28For the Celebrity Gladiator
48:31Trophy,
48:32contenders
48:33ready!
48:36Sam,
48:37you will go
48:37on my first whistle.
48:39Joe,
48:39you will go
48:40on my second whistle.
48:42Three,
48:43two,
48:44one!
48:45So nothing
48:45between them
48:46at the start.
48:47This should be
48:48a real Christmas cracker.
48:49Look at Sam's enthusiasm.
48:51He's been like that
48:52all night.
48:53He's liked that
48:53all his life.
48:54Oh, he's swinging away
48:55from the platform there.
48:57A little too much momentum.
48:59And that allows Joe
49:00to just edge
49:01into the lead.
49:02Oh, look at Sam go!
49:04He's whizzed
49:05across the overhead ladders.
49:07A quick unclip
49:08of the trapeze
49:08and he's in front
49:09once more.
49:11The energy
49:12around the whole arena
49:13is electric.
49:15Joe hurls himself
49:16onto the net
49:17and catches up
49:18with Sam again.
49:20Who's going to win this?
49:21It's absolutely
49:22in the balance.
49:24Joe's climbing well.
49:25He has the inside run
49:26as well.
49:27But Sam's there first
49:28and he will jog
49:30across to the zip wire
49:31breathing hard.
49:33He knows he's nearly there.
49:35I think he's enjoying himself.
49:36It's hard to tell.
49:38Now for the beam
49:39with the end
49:39nearly in sight.
49:41And Sam has fallen.
49:43These beams
49:44are more difficult
49:45this year.
49:45They go up,
49:46they go down.
49:47And you've got to make
49:47contact with the red zone
49:49in the middle
49:49and at the end.
49:51And Joe did that
49:51with ease
49:52and now tackles
49:53the travelator.
49:55He's got the legs
49:56and arms pumping.
49:57And Joe Wicks wins.
50:00Sam is still toppling
50:02and tumbling behind him.
50:04But nothing will wipe
50:05the smile from his face.
50:07Great cheers
50:07from all around the arena.
50:09He's given everybody
50:10a whole load
50:11of enjoyment tonight.
50:12and Mark Klettenberg claps
50:14and Joe cheers him on
50:16and he has one last go
50:18to bounce up
50:19that travelator
50:20and swing through
50:21the finish in style.
50:24Nothing in it
50:25until Sam stumble
50:27as Joe raced clear
50:28to be our male
50:29celebrity champion.
50:32Dude, you look so happy.
50:33Mate, I'm so chuffed, man.
50:35Like, it is so amazing.
50:37Like, the crowd,
50:38everybody here.
50:39That was so fun!
50:41Yeah!
50:43Yeah!
50:44That is one of the hardest things
50:45I've ever done in my life.
50:47That travelator,
50:47you just flew up there.
50:49Mate, that's amazing.
50:50What a great contender,
50:50great partner,
50:51great dancing partner.
50:52I love you.
50:52Yeah, brilliant.
50:54I love you to know the girls.
50:55You've been an incredible
50:56contender, Sam.
50:57Are you chuffed?
50:58El Cockroach, baby!
51:00You can't stamp him out!
51:02Give it up for El Cockroach!
51:03El Cockroach!
51:05All right,
51:06Sam came off
51:07the balance beam,
51:08give you the edge,
51:09settled yourself
51:10up the travelator.
51:11What are you thinking
51:11at that time?
51:12I tell you what,
51:13even though,
51:14you know,
51:15I had a bit of a breather,
51:15I still found that
51:16travelator hard.
51:16It's much harder
51:17than watching it home on TV.
51:19You know,
51:19I'm really chuffed that I won,
51:20but I think he's
51:20been an amazing partner.
51:21Absolutely.
51:22It's been a fantastic show.
51:23Absolutely exhausted.
51:25I've got one thing
51:26to say to you.
51:27Joe Wicks,
51:28you are our
51:29Celebrity Gladiator
51:31Champion!
51:33Now it's the turn
51:52of our female
51:52Celebrity Contenders.
51:54Nicola has a four-point lead
51:56and therefore
51:56a two-seconds head start.
51:58Over to referee
51:59Mark Klettenberg.
52:01For the Celebrity Gladiator
52:04Trophy,
52:05Contenders,
52:06ready!
52:09Nicola,
52:10you will go on
52:10my first whistle.
52:12Vogue,
52:12you will go on
52:12my second whistle.
52:15Three,
52:16two,
52:17one!
52:19Away goes Nicola.
52:20Straight into it,
52:21over the first
52:22and under the second
52:23as Vogue
52:24hits a barrier
52:25from the off.
52:27Nicola's already
52:27climbing up the rope.
52:29Her opponent
52:29might be already
52:30on the ropes.
52:32That's not for the first time.
52:34Don't think I've ever
52:34seen a contender
52:35take on those first hurdles
52:37in such unorthodox style.
52:39But that's Vogue.
52:40She's got her own style.
52:42Nicola's onto
52:42the overhead ladders.
52:44She didn't get up the rope
52:45all that quickly.
52:46Vogue doesn't look like
52:47she's going to get up
52:48the rope at all.
52:49She did say
52:50that she was worried
52:51about her upper body strength
52:52and she's getting
52:53the ladder out
52:53for a bit of help.
52:55Nicola was stuck
52:56just momentarily
52:57on the overhead ladders
52:58but she's over them now
53:00and will swing across
53:02to the cargo net.
53:03She's got such
53:03a healthy lead now.
53:06Vogue surely needs
53:07a Christmas miracle
53:08to catch her up.
53:10She'll keep going,
53:11that's for sure.
53:13And there's that
53:13upper body strength
53:14being called
53:15into question again.
53:16Those overhead ladders
53:18are swinging too.
53:19That makes it
53:19all the more difficult.
53:21She's just got
53:21onto the podium now
53:22as Nicola reaches
53:24the very top
53:25of the cargo net
53:26and wearily
53:27hauls herself up
53:28to take on
53:29the zip wire next.
53:32Vogue looks as though
53:33she's really struggling
53:34but Nicola is
53:35absolutely flying
53:37and enjoying
53:38every moment of it.
53:41Vogue's still on the net.
53:42Nicola nearly has this
53:44in the back of the net.
53:45And she wasn't
53:46moving very well
53:47as she went across
53:48towards the beam there.
53:50She's taking this
53:51very steadily indeed.
53:52There's a bit of a grimace
53:54and oh,
53:55you can feel
53:56Vogue's tiredness.
53:58A wobble from Nicola
53:59but she stays
54:00on the beam.
54:02And here comes Vogue.
54:04This might not be over yet,
54:06you know.
54:06Again,
54:08Nicola
54:08slightly wobbly
54:10at the end of the beam.
54:12But if Nicola does this
54:13she's going to win.
54:15She's running out of energy.
54:17She's going to go backwards
54:18in a moment
54:18and Vogue is off
54:20the end of the beam.
54:21Maybe miracles do happen.
54:23Here she goes.
54:25Vogue.
54:25Oh,
54:26she can't make it
54:26even halfway up.
54:28Nor can Nicola.
54:30Who's got the desire,
54:32the energy,
54:33the willpower
54:34to win this epic
54:36eliminator?
54:37They're still neck and neck.
54:39They're going to reach
54:40the top together here.
54:42Now it's all about
54:43the swing.
54:44Vogue grabs the rope
54:45first
54:46but it is really,
54:47really close.
54:50That was incredible.
54:53Well,
54:53the trickier balance beam
54:55was a problem for Nicola
54:56and that it was a head-to-head
54:58race up the travelling.
54:59It's a mightily close
55:01one to call.
55:04OK.
55:05I can now reveal, guys,
55:07that there was only
55:09two hundredth of a second
55:11in it.
55:13I can now reveal
55:14that the winner
55:14and therefore the
55:16Gladiator's celebrity
55:17champion
55:17is
55:19Vogue!
55:29It was a struggle for you.
55:37Yeah, it really was.
55:39Came down on the zip line
55:41and I just landed funny
55:42on my ankle
55:43and then I just,
55:43I couldn't get my ankle going.
55:45Oh, but what a fantastic
55:47competitor, Nicola's.
55:48OK,
55:49leave your line
55:49to bring in
55:50Nicola's medal.
55:51There you go.
55:52That was fantastic.
55:53Well done, Nick.
55:54Absolutely sensational.
55:56It's a fair silver medal,
55:57I've had.
55:59Congratulations,
56:00Nicola Adams!
56:04Vogue,
56:05that was a tricky
56:05eliminator.
56:06You were quite far
56:07behind Nicola,
56:09but you managed
56:09to catch up
56:10and you managed
56:10to beat her.
56:12I honestly
56:12cannot
56:13believe that.
56:15I've had
56:15the best day
56:17and the crowd
56:17when I was doing
56:18so badly.
56:19You were so nice.
