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 in myself, I'll give you from my heart with me
01:19I'm a Gladiator, I'll give you from my heart with me
01:23I'm a Gladiator, I'll give you from my heart with me
01:26Hello, 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
01:42for a chance to be crowned our 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.
01:56I'm Sam Thompson, I'm from London,
01:58and I've done too much,
02:00but I'd 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, ten foot tall.
02:27Do you know what someone said to me?
02:28Someone went, aim for the head.
02:29How?
02:33Tell you what, the 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.
02:44I'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. Joe workout
02:52that 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.
03:04So to be here taking part as a contender is unbelievable.
03:07I'm walking on sunshine.
03:08I 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.
03:41Sam, 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, it 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!
05:45So it works, everybody!
05:52Well, I tell you,
05:53they've trained,
05:54they'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!
06:04Duel.
06:06And the first of all,
06:07male celebrities on the dual podium.
06:09It'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!
06:34Giant says 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 Duel,
06:45it's more about staying upright.
06:50Over to the referee team,
06:52led by Mark Clattenburg,
06:53who, as always,
06:54is joined by Sonia McLomer
06:56and Lee Phillips.
06:59Contender,
07:00ready!
07:01Gladiator,
07:06ready!
07:11En garde!
07:21Three,
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 Giant,
07:40but he might have a chance
07:41of 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!
07:56One!
08:00Two mighty blows
08:03to finish him off.
08:05Sam was cooked.
08:06Like the Christmas turkey.
08:08Flame grilled.
08:10If you'd have stayed on,
08:12one 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 were some strong hits,
08:39so round of applause for Sam.
08:41Yes!
08:42Great job.
08:43Sadly no points.
08:45Onward and upward
08:46to the next event.
08:47That is Sam, everyone.
08:48Sadly no points.
08:49And of course,
08:50Giant!
08:58Next to duel,
08:59it is Joe.
09:02And he is going to battle
09:04with Viper.
09:06Well, it'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 Wicks,
09:37a.k.a. Activate.
09:40Please try not to break him, Viper.
09:44Contender, ready!
09:50Gladiator, ready!
09:57En garde!
10:04Three, two, one!
10:10Viper with the first hit,
10:12but did it come
10:13before the 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
10:22what the arena thinks
10:23as Viper
10:24hurls his gloves down
10:26and defeated Joe.
10:29Two hits from Viper
10:31to break Joe's heart.
10:32But did they come
10:34before the start?
10:37I'm seeing stars, boy!
10:39That was really hard.
10:40I was gonna...
10:41Sorry, I just weren't ready for it.
10:42When that first thing
10:43is a side of your head,
10:44you just, everything,
10:45well, I felt like
10:46I was upside down.
10:47I'm going on the opposite side.
10:49Yeah, stay away from Viper,
10:50that's why I'm all the way over here.
10:51Viper went before the whistle.
10:55What does that mean?
10:56What does that mean?
10:58Therefore,
10:58I'm disqualifying you.
11:00Oh!
11:00So I can award Joe
11:03five points.
11:05Put it there, bro.
11:07You're not that
11:08all day long.
11:09Honestly,
11:09I cannot believe
11:10it did feel a bit quick
11:11and I landed on my head
11:12as well to make it worse.
11:13Look,
11:14two, one,
11:14you see that?
11:15Yeah, yeah.
11:16You see,
11:16the number was still
11:17on the screen,
11:18number one,
11:18it wasn't ready.
11:19And there's your evidence,
11:19you can't deny that,
11:20look, it's there.
11:21You're out of order, mate.
11:22You're out of order, mate.
11:23Vipes,
11:23the footage doesn't lie.
11:26Joe Wick,
11:27you like teaching kids.
11:30I hate kids.
11:34Rodgers,
11:35every single one of you.
11:37Whoa!
11:39He's nuts.
11:43That's an angry little man.
11:45He needs a cuddle.
11:46He does need a cuddle.
11:47Well, look,
11:49five points to you,
11:50Joe,
11:50put it there, mate.
11:51Vipers definitely still
11:54on 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.
12:02Let us meet our next pair
12:03of celebrity contenders.
12:05I'm Nicola Adams.
12:08I'm 42,
12:09from Leeds.
12:10I was the first ever
12:11women's Olympic boxing champion.
12:14I defended my title in 2016
12:15to 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'm 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.
13:01My name is Bogue Williams.
13:03I 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
13:14kiss me in front of my...
13:16Stop!
13:17The reaction of my family
13:18when I would tell them
13:19I was going to be a contender
13:20in gladiators
13:20was severe jealousy.
13:22It is something we grew up watching.
13:24I loved it.
13:25My 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!
14:14Welcome to the show, Nicola.
14:16Introduce yourself to the arena.
14:18I'm Nicola Adams.
14:19I'm 42.
14:19I'm from Leeds.
14:20And I'm an actor
14:21and Olympic champion.
14:23Yes!
14:25Olympic champion!
14:27The first ever
14:28female
14:28gold medal
14:30boxing champion.
14:32What a bummer!
14:35What 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 the gladiators.
14:44Any gladiators
14:45you fear?
14:46I fear no one.
14:48Let's hear it for Nicola Adams!
14:55Vogue, welcome to 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 you can survive this?
15:11I think that I'm really good
15:13at beating Olympians, actually.
15:15Oh!
15:15That was those who I beat
15:16in Bear Grylls, yeah!
15:18Yeah, you beat two Olympians
15:19in Bear Grylls.
15:20I know, and I like to collect them,
15:22so I'm looking for a third!
15:24Some fighting words here!
15:28Okay, that being said,
15:29what do you want to take on?
15:30What do you not want to take on?
15:31I'm a bit worried
15:32about the climbing wall,
15:33upper body strength not there,
15:35not mad about being chased
15:36by anyone particularly,
15:38a gladiator.
15:39Imagine doing the 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 the eliminator,
15:45that's guaranteed
15:46at the end of the show.
15:47Yeah, I can't wait.
15:50Massive round of applause
15:51to Nicola and Vogue!
15:55Well, those are our
15:56female celebrities,
15:57so now it's time for them
15:58to take on...
16:00Duel.
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 as ever!
16:30If Fury could be an animal,
16:32she says she'd be a koala bear
16:33because they're so friendly.
16:35Well, let's see about that,
16:36shall we?
16:38Undefeated in the pro boxing ring,
16:40but will Nicola make it
16:42through gladiators
16:43without losing?
16:47Contender,
16:48ready!
16:54Gladiator,
16:55ready!
16:58En garde!
16:59Three, two, one!
17:10One-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.
17:21with 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 off balance
17:40when she caught me.
17:41Yeah.
17:41And then that was it.
17:42Well, I guess you're used
17:43to getting hit around 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 for this
17:54because you're both
17:55great British athletes
17:56at the top of your field,
17:57so this was about and 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
18:20everyone else as well.
18:25That is Nicola
18:26and of course
18:27our gladiator,
18:28Fury.
18:33Next on the podium,
18:34pugil stick in hand,
18:36it's Vogue.
18:38And she is taking on
18:40Sabre.
18:41Let's go.
18:42Let's go.
18:42Let's go.
18:43Let's go.
18:44Let's go.
18:45Let's go.
18:46Let's go.
18:48On 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.
19:04Vogue 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.
19:11Contender ready.
19:15Ready.
19:19Gladiator ready.
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.
20:18Did 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 right
20:26on 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.
20:41Great.
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!
21:26Go on!
21:27I'm back!
21:28Are you ready?
21:29Are you ready?
21:30Get through it!
21:31I'm home!
21:32Come on!
21:33Woo!
21:34Come on!
21:36Now that's what
21:37I wanted for Christmas.
21:39NITRO's back
21:40and raring to go.
21:41We'll see him
21:42very soon.
21:48I think it's safe
21:50to say we'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 our next event.
22:02It's collision!
22:03Collision!
22:05Collision!
22:09Playing collision
22:10for the male contenders.
22:11It's Sam!
22:15And he needs to avoid
22:17Phantom and Apollo!
22:18Oh, my God!
22:20Never one to ghost
22:23the competition?
22:24Phantom is set
22:25for a full-on collision
22:27with our celebrity contenders.
22:28Apollo's favourite
22:31Christmas film
22:31is Elf.
22:32He's no cotton-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 he'll
22:50unwrap some 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.
23:03Contender!
23:04Ready!
23:08Gladiators!
23:09Ready!
23:13Three!
23:14Two!
23:15One!
23:16OK, Sam,
23:17what have you got?
23:18Because I think we 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 to keep moving,
23:31but he has at least
23:32made his first score.
23:33Two points on the board
23:34for Sam.
23:36Well, he does call himself
23:37a cockroach,
23:37so crawling is one way across.
23:39Evade Steel nicely there
23:42and gets in for another two points.
23:45Sam's getting the hang of 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.
24:00Down you go, Sam.
24:01Down you go, Sam.
24:02Down you go, Sam.
24:02Down you go, Sam.
24:03Down you go, Sam.
24:05Down you go, Sam.
24:06A gutsy run from Sam,
24:08but once he got the one,
24:09two, three from Bionic,
24:11his legs wouldn't compute anymore.
24:13That 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 as well,
24:23one of you was hanging there.
24:25I was just looking you
24:26in the eyes going,
24:27I don't know what to do.
24:28He's so big.
24:29I really panicked.
24:30To be knocked off the bridge
24:31by someone like you, mate,
24:32weirdly is a pleasure.
24:35I think that's the first time
24:37a contender's ever said that.
24:38Bionic, you were the one
24:39that got him off.
24:40He launched himself at me
24:42like he wanted a cuddle.
24:43And I've never seen anyone
24:45so happy on Collision
24:46in my entire life.
24:49We've got to cuddle in the end,
24:50didn't we?
24:50We've got to cuddle in the end.
24:52Oh, look,
24:52that's four points for Sam.
25:03Next to face, Collision.
25:05It's Joe.
25:09Contender ready.
25:13Gladiators, ready.
25:20Three, two, one.
25:23Now, I don't know about you,
25:24but I'm expecting Joe
25:26to be really nimble
25:27across the Collision Bridge.
25:29And he's nicely past
25:30the first two gladiators
25:31trying to knock him down
25:33to the floor.
25:34Phantom's knocked the ball
25:35from his hands,
25:35so he can't score
25:36with that one.
25:37He has to take a fresh red ball
25:39and go back the other way.
25:41Impressive swerving from Joe,
25:43who's got really good core strength
25:45with that wobbly bridge beneath him.
25:47He throws that ball into the net
25:49for his first two points.
25:50Now Joe seems to be getting the hang of it,
25:53but he's in a spin here.
25:54That almost knocked off.
25:56Phantom swings and misses.
25:58Joe gets in to make it four.
26:00Now, how many more could he score?
26:03He's given Phantom the slip again,
26:05but then a bit of a stumble from Joe.
26:07He's trying to make the best of it
26:08by crawling his way
26:09underneath the gladiators' swinging feet.
26:12Look at Sonja giving him
26:13some real encouragement.
26:15Oh, Joe's dropped the ball again.
26:17He'll have to go across the bridge,
26:19and I don't think he's going to have
26:20any time to score any more points.
26:23No, the game is up.
26:24Joe is left stranded on six.
26:27But a great effort
26:28to at least stay the course.
26:32He took blows from Bionic.
26:34He had brushes with steel.
26:36He was dropping the ball.
26:38It was all happening for Joe.
26:42That's exhausting.
26:43So much harder than it looks.
26:44Yeah, so much harder than it looks.
26:46Three balls in, six points.
26:48Brilliant stuff.
26:49Can I do that?
26:49I'll take it.
26:50I'm happy there.
26:50Yeah, no, absolutely.
26:51It's a good start.
26:52Good contender.
26:54Absolutely.
26:54I'm going to crown him
26:55his not-so-average Joe.
26:58I've got to say as well,
26:59how good is he that we are back?
27:02Well done, Joe, everyone.
27:03Good one up for Joe.
27:06After two events,
27:07Joe activates a seven-point lead.
27:10He's on 11,
27:11while Sam has four.
27:14Look inside.
27:16What?
27:17This is better than I've experienced.
27:18This is sick, mate.
27:19Oh, price cake.
27:20Who's this?
27:20Steel.
27:21Yeah, they're approved.
27:22Have some of them.
27:23They're approved.
27:24I want to see you.
27:25Stick one in your outfits,
27:26see if you feel that proper belly.
27:27I'll put Giants on.
27:28Yeah, I'll put Giants.
27:29It's going to be loose, isn't it?
27:31Yeah, it's fine.
27:32Yeah, go straight through.
27:33That's it.
27:35I'll keep an eye on him.
27:36If he comes in,
27:37I'm going to smash him.
27:39Oh, Matt, it's well baggy on the crotch.
27:40Do I look like Giants?
27:43You look good,
27:44but you need to pump the chest up, mate.
27:45You need more of a divot,
27:46you know, like more of a dent in the chest.
27:48There we go, that's it.
27:48Right, that's it.
27:49The thing is,
27:50they do walk around like this, don't they?
27:51Yeah, they're definitely tense.
27:52Here we go, ready?
27:53Let's hit it.
27:55Oh, oh.
27:57Oh!
27:59No!
27:59What the hell's going on here?
28:01No!
28:01No!
28:02No!
28:02No!
28:03No!
28:03No!
28:03No!
28:04No!
28:05Get out of here.
28:07No!
28:08It's the most humiliating thing on the end.
28:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:10Oh, my God, hell yeah.
28:14Playing collision for the female contenders.
28:17Give it up for Nicola.
28:21She's going to have to dodge Sabre and Electro.
28:24These two gladiators form a real power couple.
28:28Electro is a collision veteran,
28:30so these celebrities,
28:32well, they're in for a shock.
28:33And joining them are Fire and Comet.
28:41Winter's normally the time to get cosy by a fire.
28:45Just not this one.
28:49Contender, ready!
28:55Gladiators, ready!
28:59Three, two, one!
29:02So, Nicola's turn to take on the collision bridge.
29:06Or just take it apart.
29:07How easy was that?
29:09Two points scored straight away.
29:11Hello.
29:12And she's having a chat with the gladiators.
29:14A friendly greeting.
29:15It nearly came back to bite and knocked off her feet.
29:18What a good recovery from Nicola,
29:20who is absolutely loving it up there.
29:23Bob and weave.
29:24Well, this is all part of a boxer's training.
29:27Six points scored and surely more to come.
29:31The gladiators have made contact with Nicola a few times,
29:34but she's been more than strong enough to see them off.
29:37And she's certainly quick enough.
29:39And she should be happy enough with her efforts here.
29:42She's got time to make it ten points.
29:45If she can evade the gladiators once more,
29:48she might even make it twelve.
29:50There's ten.
29:51Go on, Nicola.
29:52Ten seconds left on the clock.
29:54A little more hesitant this time, Nicola.
29:56And she's slowing.
29:58The stumble won't help.
29:59I think she's going to run out of time now.
30:03That's it.
30:04Ten points scored.
30:06We don't see that on collision often.
30:11There were a few close calls,
30:13but Nicola rolled with the punches.
30:15Well, the kicks anyway.
30:17What else could we have expected?
30:22Brilliant performance.
30:24Giving the gladiators a run for the money.
30:26That's exactly what it is.
30:27That's what you've got to do.
30:29And Sabre, Nicola put you in a right spin.
30:31She really did.
30:32You're probably a bit more used to fist flying at your face and feet.
30:35But you're not in the ring now, babe.
30:36You're in the arena and we're just getting warmed up.
30:38Yeah, well, you say that.
30:40You are the undefeated champion of the world
30:43here on the collision for us, aren't you?
30:45Can you say that again just to make sure they hear that?
30:47Yeah.
30:48I said the undefeated collision champion of the world.
30:52Because there you go.
30:53Five crossings, ten points.
30:56Unbelievable.
30:56Michael Lanners, everyone.
30:58Of course, our brilliant gladiators.
31:04Next up, on collision, it's Vogue.
31:11Contender, ready!
31:18Gladiators, ready!
31:20Three, two, one.
31:26Let's see if Vogue can last longer on the collision bridge
31:29than she managed on the dual podium.
31:32Well, it's not a bad start, is it?
31:33She's huffed and puffed her way across to two points.
31:37Now carefully studying the gladiators.
31:40Working out when best to time the run.
31:43And it looks as though she's done it.
31:44She's across for four.
31:46Vogue's getting the hang of this.
31:47She's finding a nice rhythm now.
31:50Oh, but she's got to make sure she hangs on to the ball.
31:55Better you need to remind you of just how difficult collision is.
31:59Listen to Vogue's breathing.
32:00This is taking a lot out of her.
32:03She does, though, still have time for more scores.
32:07Evading Electro.
32:09Fighting fire.
32:10All the time keeping an eye on Comet.
32:12Now Vogue has to get back to her feet and go.
32:15Sonia McClamour waving her towards the net.
32:18Two more points scored.
32:20I don't know if she's got the energy to get back one more time.
32:24Three, two, one.
32:26That's it for Vogue.
32:28One last shot for luck.
32:30Well saved, Mark.
32:31Vogue's height meant a lot of time ducking low, but she scored pretty high.
32:39Six is very respectable.
32:42Now to be here up against the gladiators, like, how does it feel?
32:46I mean, genuinely this is a childhood dream.
32:49We used to batter each other at home trying to be gladiators.
32:53And I think it's kind of prepared me for a little bit of a beating in here.
32:56How is she as a contender?
32:57She is absolutely great, because you smash it.
33:00That is six points to Vogue.
33:03Thank you to Vogue and our gladiators.
33:10Finally, some Christmas cheer.
33:12Both celebrities are on the board, and not for the first time.
33:15Nicola's ahead on points.
33:18Our next event is The Wall, and the key to success here is...
33:21Get a massive ladder.
33:23No, it's strength and 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 Wall.
33:32Climbing the wall for the male contenders.
33:34In red, it is Joe.
33:39And in blue, it is Sam.
33:44And hunting them down will be...
33:46Nitro and Hammer.
33:48I hope Hammer climbs better than he dances, because he might have something to prove to Sam.
34:08Is he too big to climb fast?
34:09Is he too big to climb fast?
34:10Or has Sam talked too much?
34:15Hammer excels at clobbering contenders, but he can knock out a perfect hem, too.
34:20With his size and speed, he's tailor-made for this event.
34:23Back to the streets.
34:24Back to the streets.
34:24Back to the streets.
34:25Back to the streets.
34:25All right.
34:28Contenders, ready.
34:30Let's go.
34:33Gladiators, ready.
34:35Let's go!
34:37Conteners, you will go on my first whistle.
34:40Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle.
34:43Three, two, one.
34:46Away they go, and Joe in red will have to climb particularly quickly
34:50because Nitro's back, and this is one of his best events.
34:54It's wonderful to see him back.
34:56I'm not sure that Joe will agree.
34:58He's on him already, and he's got a hold of the harness,
35:01as on the other side, Sam just keeps out of the clutches of Hammer.
35:05Maybe he was right. He could be about to beat him on the wall.
35:09There'll be no beating Nitro, though.
35:12Joe is off, and that leaves the way clear
35:15for Sam to haul himself over the top for ten points.
35:20Sam nails Hammer and the wall.
35:23Joe caught by a re-energised Nitro.
35:27Sam, I've got one thing to say to you.
35:28You made it to the top of the wall!
35:31Wow!
35:33I feel like a little whippet.
35:35That was mad. I'd already just fall off things.
35:37Well, look, you've done so well there.
35:39That's a massive ten points!
35:41Yeah!
35:43Bam on the floor here with Joe.
35:45You're up against Nitro.
35:47Once you lose that foot and you lose momentum, he had me.
35:49He's a strong guy. He's a unit.
35:51I won't get in away from him then.
35:52Nitro, how does it feel to be back?
35:54It feels absolutely amazing to be back home in Sheffield.
35:59But look, my guy slipped.
36:01And when you slip on this wall, it's so unforgiving.
36:05So I've got to give him massive props.
36:06Let's hear it for Joe.
36:07Come on!
36:08Yes!
36:09Sam as well, obviously.
36:11What happened there, mate?
36:12You had a shocker, if you don't mind me saying.
36:14Yeah, he did go to plan.
36:15You know what?
36:16His nickname should be Squirrel the way he went up there.
36:18You know what I mean?
36:19My thanks to Nitro, Hammer, Joe.
36:22And of course, ten points for Sam!
36:24Well, well, the cockroach climbs into the lead.
36:31After three events, Sam has 14 points.
36:34Joe's on 11.
36:35Time now for the female contenders.
36:38On the left-hand side, it is Nicola.
36:41And on the right-hand side, it's Vogue.
36:46And they have got to get away from Dynamite and Cyclone.
36:52Cyclone!
37:05Cyclone straight across to get in Vogue's face, but she's not fazed.
37:10It's time for the All-Island Games.
37:12This will be Cyclone's debut on the wall.
37:15The wall should be worried.
37:19Dynamite is small and mighty.
37:21And she's ready to have a ripping time.
37:29Contenders, ready!
37:34Gladiators, ready!
37:40Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
37:42Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle.
37:45Three, two, one!
37:47Upper body strength was Vogue's big concern.
37:50We know that won't be a problem for Nicola.
37:53They're both climbing really well from the start, though.
37:56But here we go.
37:57Vogue's been caught by Cyclone.
37:59And Dynamite has got to hold on Nicola.
38:02How long can they hold on?
38:04It's not about the climbing anymore.
38:07Oh, really good adjustment from Nicola.
38:10But Vogue has gone.
38:11Now Nicola's clinging on with everything she's got with Dynamite hanging off her.
38:17But that's it.
38:19It's all over on the wall.
38:22With neither of our celebrity contenders scoring any points at all.
38:27There's a record I hear, Barnes.
38:30There is.
38:31It's a new record.
38:32It's the quickest takedown from the wall we've ever seen from Gladiators!
38:37I'm so sorry!
38:38No, don't do that!
38:39Sorry.
38:40I've got to ask you first, though, Vogue.
38:42Intimidating tactics from Cyclone in your face.
38:45I mean, honestly, I've never seen such behaviour a Cyclone.
38:49Very, very quick indeed.
38:50Out of the blocks, what do you think?
38:52Er, this is actually my wall debut.
38:54Ooh!
38:55Ooh!
38:56Ooh!
38:57Ooh!
38:58Ooh!
38:59Ooh!
39:00Ooh!
39:01Ooh!
39:02Ooh!
39:03Ooh!
39:04I don't think anyone would expect a 5'10", 96-kilo stallion to be able to move that fast.
39:08But clearly, I can.
39:09Ooh!
39:10Ooh!
39:11Ooh!
39:12Ooh!
39:13That might not have been our thing.
39:14But wait, you see us for the next one.
39:16You're going down.
39:17Especially you.
39:18Ooh!
39:19Ooh!
39:20Ooh!
39:21Ooh!
39:22Ooh!
39:23Ooh!
39:24See you, Vogue!
39:25While Cyclone sweeps Vogue away, let's take a look at the scores.
39:30And with nothing gained from the wall, Nicola still leads by ten points to six.
39:37Next up, it's Gauntlet.
39:39And this one is very physical, and there's a chance people could get hurt.
39:44But what kind of person wants to watch celebrities being battered by a gang of superheroes?
39:50It's Gauntlet!
39:51Gauntlet!
39:52Gauntlet!
39:55Daring to take on the Gauntlet for the male contenders is Sam!
40:02And he'll be facing this fearsome five.
40:10Phantom, Nitro, Steel, Bionic, and Apollo!
40:14No, stop me!
40:15No, stop me!
40:29Having taken down Joe on the wall, Nitro now has the chance to defeat Sam too!
40:34Can he stamp out the cockroach for good?
40:41Contender, ready!
40:47Gladiators, ready!
40:52Three, two, one!
40:56I wonder if ever Bouncy Sam will still be cheerful by the end of this.
41:00Well, he's managed to get past the first two zones, away from Steele and into Phantom.
41:06He's wriggling about in there is Sam, but he's done the job well so far.
41:11Now, only Apollo to beat, and he's got there!
41:14A dive over the line from Sam, who is ecstatic!
41:20What a ride!
41:23El Coqueroche strikes again!
41:26Come on, El Coqueroche!
41:27You can't get rid of the cockroach, baby!
41:32Oh, one second.
41:34Our referee, Mark Clatenberg, has something to say.
41:36Oh!
41:37Oh!
41:38Oh!
41:40Sam, we've looked at the VAR.
41:44Unfortunately, your foot wasn't over the line.
41:48No!
41:49Therefore, you've only completed four zones, and I can only award you eight points.
41:57V!
42:00Nah, Sam, how do you feel about that?
42:02What the hell is this game?
42:04What the hell?
42:05I guess Mark Clatenberg has the final word.
42:08The rules are the rules.
42:09No, I never liked Clatenberg, to be honest with you.
42:11You always used to do Chelsea dirty, and you're doing me dirty now.
42:15That's eight points to Sam!
42:20Come on!
42:26Next up on the Gord Club run, it is Joe!
42:30Come on!
42:33Contender, ready!
42:40Gladiators, ready!
42:45Three, two, one!
42:49Well, Joe looks ready for this.
42:51One way, then the other, to get past Nitro.
42:54And he's wriggled his way through Steel as well.
42:57Phantom's not going to be beaten quite so easily, but there he goes.
43:01Joe is into Zone 4, where Bionic can't pull.
43:04He gets a grip with him.
43:05Joe there tried to dive underneath the pull-out.
43:08He's through now!
43:09Ten points for Joe.
43:11He successfully runs the Gauntlet.
43:13That was amazing.
43:18You've got to be happy with him.
43:19What a tactic.
43:20Dodge and weave, dodge and weave.
43:21You're brilliant.
43:22I just went for it, mate.
43:23I'm so glad I finished there, because I was worried.
43:25It's so intimidating.
43:26When you look at him down there, you think you're never going to get through him.
43:28But I did it!
43:29Yeah, you absolutely did.
43:32A quick old shimmy, and he was gone.
43:34Mate, that little shimmy was lovely.
43:36Yeah.
43:36I enjoyed that one.
43:37I've got dazed.
43:39Ten points for Joe!
43:42What a result for Joe.
43:45Sam thought he'd scored maximum two until Clattenburg the Grinch got involved.
43:49Sam still leads, but takes a razor-thin advantage into the eliminator.
43:53He's got 22 points.
43:54Joe's on 21.
43:55Taking on the gauntlet for the female celebrities, it's Nicola.
44:05And she is up against the power of...
44:12Dynamite, Electro, Fury, Comics and Cyclone.
44:18It wouldn't be Christmas without Comet and the other reindeer.
44:35She's ready to switch it up from pulling the sleigh to slaying our celebrity contender.
44:45Contender ready!
44:47Gladiators, ready!
44:56Three, two, one!
44:59Well, I would think Nicola will do pretty well here.
45:01She's straight past Comet, but, oh!
45:03She takes a bashing from Electro, and she hits the canvas.
45:08She's not used to that.
45:09Quickly back to her feet, though, and into Zone 5 in the blink of an eye.
45:13Cyclone stops her for a while, but she can't stop her fully.
45:18Ten points, Nicola.
45:19We knew that was coming.
45:21They really wanted to stop you.
45:27Yeah, they really did.
45:28They really tried, but do you know what?
45:30Cream always rises to the top, baby!
45:32Oh, I love it!
45:34We got the shot from Electro that took you, that put you down there.
45:37You got straight back up.
45:39Boom!
45:39See ya!
45:40This is the first time I've ever been down.
45:43Do you know what?
45:44I got back up and won.
45:45Yeah, Electro, you did it, mate!
45:47To be fair to her, I probably am wearing the biggest pair of boxing gloves she's ever thought
45:50were getting this time.
45:51Absolutely brilliant.
45:54Ten points, got to be happy on that.
45:55Right, absolutely positive with that.
45:58Thanks, everyone, let's go!
46:01Our next female celebrity to run the contest, it's Vogue!
46:09Contender, ready!
46:15Gladiators, ready!
46:17Three, two, one!
46:24Not as strong as Nicola.
46:25Vogue will have to use her guile and skill here.
46:28She is into zone three, though.
46:31And she's trying to slide her way past Dynamite.
46:34Mark Glanberg gives the signal to release.
46:37Fury hasn't done any damage at all with that claw.
46:40It's left a cyclo to try and prevent Vogue from 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 of the gauntlet!
46:53Listen, I'm as surprised as everybody else are delighted!
46:57Dynamite, you were with her at zone three.
47:00You held her back for quite a while there, I've got to say.
47:02Yeah, I mean, fair play for actually coming in and facing us
47:05because one gladiator is very scary,
47:08but five of us, you smashed it.
47:12Ten points to you, Blake!
47:14Thank you to Vogue and our gladiators!
47:20Careful!
47:21After four events, Vogue has 16 points and is chasing down the Olympic champion,
47:30but Nicola maintains her lead with 20, so she's got the advantage for the eliminator.
47:34Oh, wow!
47:36Yeah!
47:38What a show!
47:39Thank you so much!
47:40Just one final event stands between our star contenders and victory.
47:45It's just like a VIP afterparty, but less champagne and more sweat.
47:49Yes, and the only thing being popped are hamstrings.
47:52Here we go!
47:54It's the eliminator!
47:56The Eliminator!
47:59It's time for contender against contender
48:02in a head-to-head race across this iconic course,
48:05now even more demanding,
48:07with an all-new tougher balance beam to traverse
48:10before taking on the legendary Travelator.
48:13The winner of the Eliminator will be crowned Celebrity Champion.
48:19Any points advantage now converts into a head start,
48:22so with Sam one point ahead,
48:24he takes just a half-second lead over Joe.
48:26For the Celebrity Gladiator Trophy,
48:32contenders, ready!
48:36Sam, you will go on my first whistle.
48:39Joe, you will go on my second whistle.
48:42Three, two, one!
48:45So nothing between them at the start.
48:47This should be a real Christmas cracker.
48:49Look at Sam's enthusiasm.
48:51He's been like that all night.
48:53He's liked that all his life.
48:54Oh, he's swinging away from the platform there.
48:57A little too much momentum.
48:59And that allows Joe to just edge into the lead.
49:02Oh, look at Sam go!
49:04He's whizzed across the overhead ladders.
49:07A quick unclip of the trapeze,
49:08and he's in front once more.
49:11The energy around the whole arena is electric.
49:15Joe hurls himself onto the net
49:17and catches up with Sam again.
49:20Who's going to win this?
49:21It's absolutely in the balance.
49:24Joe's climbing well.
49:25He has the inside run as well.
49:27But Sam's there first.
49:29And he will jog across 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 with the end nearly in sight.
49:41And Sam has fallen.
49:43These beams are more difficult this year.
49:46They go up.
49:46They go down.
49:47You've got to make contact with the red zone
49:49in the middle and at the end.
49:50And Joe did that with ease.
49:52And now tackles the travelator.
49:55He's got the legs and arms pumping.
49:57And Joe Wiggs wins.
50:00Sam is still toppling and tumbling behind him.
50:04But nothing will wipe the smile from his face.
50:07Great cheers from all around the arena.
50:09He's given everybody a whole load of enjoyment tonight.
50:12And Mark Klettenberg claps.
50:15And Joe cheers him on.
50:16And he has one last go to bounce up that travelator
50:20and swing through the finish in style.
50:24Nothing in it until Sam stumble
50:27as Joe raced clear to be our male celebrity champion.
50:31Dude, you look so happy.
50:33Mate, I'm so chuffed, man.
50:35Like, it is so amazing.
50:37Like, the crowd, everybody here.
50:38That was so fun.
50:41Yeah.
50:42Yeah.
50:44That is one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.
50:47That travelator, you just flew up there.
50:49Mate, it was amazing.
50:50What a great contender, great partner, great dancing partner.
50:52I love you.
50:52Yeah, brilliant.
50:54I love it.
50:55You've been an incredible contender, Sam.
50:57Are you chuffed?
50:58El Cockroach, baby.
51:00You can't stamp him out.
51:02Give it up for El Cockroach.
51:04El Cockroach.
51:05All right.
51:06Sam came off the balance beam.
51:08Give you the edge.
51:09Settled yourself up the travelator.
51:11What are you thinking at that time?
51:12I tell you what, even though, you know, I had a bit of a breather, I still found that
51:16travelator harder.
51:17It's much harder than watching it at home on TV.
51:19You know, I'm really chuffed at one, but I think he's been an amazing partner.
51:21Absolutely.
51:22It's been a fantastic show.
51:23Absolutely exhausted.
51:25I've got one thing to say to you.
51:27Joe Wicks, you are our Celebrity Gladiator Champion.
51:32Yeah!
51:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
51:35There you go.
51:38There's your medals, there's one.
51:41Sam has done.
51:42Yes, Sam, a runner-up.
51:44Yes!
51:44Yes!
51:48Gladiator Champion, everyone!
51:51Now it's the turn of our female Celebrity Contenders.
51:54Nicola has a four-point lead and therefore a two-seconds head start.
51:58Over to referee Mark Kladenberg.
52:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
52:02For the Celebrity Gladiator Trophy, Contenders, ready!
52:09Nicola, you will go on my first whistle.
52:12Vogue, you will go on my second whistle.
52:15Three, two, one!
52:18Away goes Nicola.
52:20Straight into it.
52:21Over the first and under the second
52:23as Vogue hits a barrier from the off.
52:26Nicola's already climbing up the rope.
52:29Her opponent might be already on the ropes.
52:32That's not for the first time.
52:34Don't think I've ever seen a contender
52:35take on those first hurdles in such unorthodox style.
52:39But that's Vogue.
52:40She's got her own style.
52:42Nicola's onto the overhead ladders.
52:44She didn't get up the rope all that quickly.
52:46Vogue doesn't look like she's going to get up the rope at all.
52:49She did say that she was worried about her upper body strength
52:52and she's getting the ladder out for a bit of help.
52:55Nicola was stuck just momentarily on the overhead ladders,
52:59but she's over them now
53:00and will swing across to the cargo net.
53:03She's got such a healthy lead now.
53:06Vogue surely needs a Christmas miracle to catch her up.
53:10She'll keep going, that's for sure.
53:12And there's that upper body strength being called into question again.
53:17Those overhead ladders are swinging too.
53:19That makes it all the more difficult.
53:21She's just got onto the podium now
53:22as Nicola reaches the very top of the cargo net
53:26and wearily hauls herself up to take on the zip wire next.
53:32Vogue looks as though she's really struggling,
53:34but Nicola is absolutely flying
53:37and enjoying every moment of it.
53:41Vogue's still on the net.
53:42Nicola nearly has this in the back of the net.
53:45She wasn't moving very well
53:47as she went across towards the beam there.
53:50She's taking this very steadily indeed.
53:52There's a bit of a grimace.
53:54And oh, you can feel Vogue's tiredness.
53:58A wobble from Nicola,
53:59but she stays on the beam.
54:01And here comes Vogue.
54:04This might not be over yet, you know.
54:07Again, Nicola slightly wobbly at the end of the beam.
54:11But if Nicola does this, she's going to win.
54:15She's running out of energy.
54:17She's going to go backwards in a moment.
54:19And Vogue is off the end of the beam.
54:21Maybe miracles do happen.
54:23Here she goes.
54:25Vogue.
54:25Oh, she can't make it even halfway up.
54:28Nor can Nicola.
54:29Who's got the desire, the energy, the willpower
54:34to win this epic Eliminator?
54:37They're still neck and neck.
54:39They're going to reach the top together here.
54:42Now it's all about the swing.
54:44Vogue grabs the rope first.
54:46But it is really, really close.
54:50That was incredible.
54:53Well, the trickier balance beam was a problem for Nicola.
54:56And then it was a head-to-head race up the Travellator.
55:00It's a mightily close one to call.
55:01OK, I can now reveal, guys,
55:07that there was only two hundredth of a second in it.
55:13I can now reveal that the winner,
55:15and therefore the Gladiators Celebrity Champion,
55:18is...
55:20Vogue!
55:21Vogue!
55:30Vogue!
55:30Vogue!
55:32I tell you now,
55:35it was extraordinary, Nick.
55:36It was a struggle for you.
55:38Yeah, it really was.
55:39Came down on the zipline,
55:41and I just landed funny on my ankle,
55:43and then I just...
55:44I couldn't get my ankle going.
55:45Oh, but what a fantastic competitor, Nicola.
55:48OK, Leith, you're right to bring in Nicola's medal.
55:51There you go.
55:52That was fantastic.
55:53Well done, Nick.
55:54Absolutely sensational.
55:56It's the first silver medal I've had.
55:59Congratulations, though, Nicola Adams!
56:02Vogue!
56:04Vogue, that was a tricky eliminator.
56:06You were quite far behind Nicola,
56:09but you managed to catch up,
56:10and you managed to beat her.
56:11I honestly cannot believe that.
56:15I've had the best day,
56:17and the crowd when I was doing so badly.
56:19You were so nice.
56:21Honestly, thank you.
56:22You really liked it.
56:23You pushed us on.
56:25I've got one thing to say to you.
56:27You're our Gladiators Celebrity Champion!
56:30Amazing!
56:32Here comes Mr. Glattenburg with the trophy.
56:35There you go!
56:37Well done, Nick.
56:38Well done.
56:40Congratulations.
56:40Congratulations.
56:40Champion Vogue heads over to soak up the adulation of her adoring fans.
56:50She'll be so grateful to them and to that ladder.
56:53Merry Christmas, everyone!
56:55What a night!
56:57What a show, what a show.
56:58Hey, I wonder how our star contenders are feeling now.
57:01Well, tomorrow they'll be feeling muscles they didn't even know existed.
57:04If you want more action from the arena,
57:06then you are in luck.
57:07We have more brave members of the public
57:09queuing up to take on the mighty Gladiators.
57:11Oh, yes, and we'll be back on BBC One and iPlayer very soon,
57:14and here's a look at what is coming up
57:16on the smashing new series of Gladiators!
57:23We are back!
57:25The toughest game show on telly!
57:29This is going to be incredible.
57:31I came here to fight.
57:33I will always be better than you.
57:35Who is this guy?
57:37Things are about to get brutal.
57:40The show's gone a bit weird there.
57:41Three brand-new events.
57:45Yes!
57:49It's truly squeaky-bomb time.
57:51Sorry about that.
57:52It's hammer time!
57:55Lock in.
57:57Cheers down.
57:58Smash.
58:04Looks like your airbags have gone off.
58:06Heat rises.
58:08Babes, you've got scorched today.
58:10What they say, if you're going to be done,
58:11you've got to be tough.
58:11And I am very, very tough.
58:13Gladiators, ready!
58:15Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:22Do you have the will and the skill?
58:27Do you have the strength, the heart to be a winner?
58:33It's not for beginners.
58:36Get down in your soul.
58:39Are you a Gladiator?
58:41Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:42Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:43Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:44Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:45Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:46Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:47Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
