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 the stars, the world is a world that I want to be a winner
01:19I'm a Gladiator, make some noise for your ho-ho hosts, Branly and Barney Walsh!
01:26Hello Sheffield!
01:31Oh wow, what a crowd, we are back for a very special episode of...
01:35Gladiators!
01:39Tonight we have four famous faces taking on the Gladiators for a chance to be crowned our Celebrity Champion
01:46But are they prepared to get whacked on the head with a massive lollipop?
01:50Let's not keep them waiting any longer and meet the first of tonight's star contenders
01:55I'm Sam Thompson, I'm from London and I've done too much but I would say I'm a podcaster
02:03The only thing I can correlate to doing something like this is the UNICEF Challenge
02:06Where I ran from London to Manchester, 260 miles in five days
02:12That was different because in your mind you just have to go, I can't fail this
02:17Like I have to keep going forward because 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 5A, Hammer's like ten foot tall
02:27Do you know what someone said to me, so I'm going to aim for their head, how?
02:33I tell you what, the bad ears better watch out
02:36Because I'm going to be up and down this corridor begging them to not go too hard on me
02:42I'm Joe Wicks, I'm 39 years old from EPSA in Surrey
02:48I think most people will remember me and recognise me from the PE with Joe workouts I did during lockdown
02:54Keep jumping!
02:55In all honesty, I'm living a childhood dream here
02:57I was born in 1985, so through the 90s, this show on a Saturday night was the biggest thing on TV
03:01And I've got so many positive memories of just sitting there watching this
03:04So 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 or had a punch-up
03:16Or had, like, a 20-stone bodybuilder come at me with a big cotton budge, you know what I mean?
03:20I don't know what's going to happen
03:23Please welcome Joe Wicks and Sam Thompson!
03:26Sam, welcome to the show, say hi to Sheffield!
03:45Hello Sheffield, come on!
03:47Yes!
03:51Now look, Sam, you're a sporty guy, aren't you?
03:54It's all smoke and mirrors, mate
03:56What events do you not want to take on?
03:58The duel, it just looks so scary
04:01I weigh about 70kg, a gust of wind would blow me off, it's so terrified
04:05I think, actually, I want to do the wall because I'm quite nimble, mate
04:09Who would you want to face on the wall?
04:11Who would I want to face? Someone big, I reckon, like, Hammer
04:14Give me Hammer on the wall, because he can't be that quick on it, surely
04:17That's fighting words from Sam, guys
04:19Okay, if you were a gladiator, what would your name be?
04:22I'm the cockroach
04:23You can't get rid of me, you don't know where I'm nesting
04:29And I'm just always about, I'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!
04:43Welcome, welcome to the show and into the arena, Joe
04:47Please introduce yourself to Sheffield
04:48I'm Joe Wicks, 39 years old, and I'm a fitness coach from Epsom!
04:53Come on!
04:55Now, you got the nation through the pandemic, talk us through that, come on
04:59It was a difficult time, and I always say, you know, my proudest achievement in life
05:03Is getting all them people, families and kids, moving
05:05We've got to focus on exercise and looking after our mental health
05:08So this is why I'm here, I want to inspire people
05:10Yeah, that's exactly it, alright
05:12Talking of families and friends, is your family here with you?
05:14I'm so excited to see my mum, my dad, my brothers
05:18I've got my little boy Marley over there, love you Marley!
05:21Yes! All the families here, it's all happening
05:23And if you were a gladiator, what would your name be?
05:26I am... Activate!
05:28Activate!
05:30Okay, it's wonderful to have you on gladiators
05:34Have you any last words, I mean, have you ever, have you got a message for the gladiators?
05:37I'm known as the nation's PE teacher, so today, I'm going to go out there and teach every single one of them gladiators a lesson they're never going to forget
05:44Yeah!
05:46John Ricks, everybody!
05:48Well, I tell you, they've trained, they've stretched, they've practiced their fighting talk, but can they take on 130 kilos of pure muscle?
05:59Good luck, celebs, the first event starts now!
06:04Duel!
06:06The first of our male celebrities on the dual podium, it's Sam!
06:10And he is up against Giants!
06:18Giants! Giants!
06:20How's this for a Christmas present? Giants back!
06:27Not sure he'd fit under my tree though
06:29A bicep injury meant he missed most of last series, but he's here now, and stronger than ever!
06:35Giants says the celebrity he'd most like to duel against is The Rock
06:39Sam, maybe more of a pebble
06:43Sam hosts the Staying Relevant podcast
06:46In Duel, it's more about staying upright
06:47Over to the referee team, led by Mark Kladenberg, who, as always, is joined by Sonia McLomer and Lee Phillips
06:59Contender, ready!
07:05Gladiator, ready!
07:12En garde!
07:173, 2, 1
07:213, 2, 1
07:24A very smiley Sam has the first couple of hits at Giants
07:28Who blocks them as casually as you like before biffing Sam with the first hit of his own
07:34Sam managed to withstand it, and he's doing really well up there
07:38Not sure his hits are actually hurting Giants, but he might have a chance of going the distance here
07:42Rocking backwards, but staying on the podium
07:468 seconds, 7
07:48Go on Sam, you can do it!
07:50Giant trying to finish the job now
07:52Sam is wobbling, and with one second to go
07:56He's down!
07:572 mighty blows to finish him off
08:05Sam was cooked
08:07Like the Christmas turkey
08:09Flame grilled
08:11If you'd have stayed on one second more, we had one second left
08:16You'd have scored five points
08:17Yes
08:19Do you know what?
08:21It was not even the head hitting, it's the tiredness
08:24Dude, I'm so tired!
08:26I've got to go for like a right
08:28It just hits like something, and he just looks at me as if, is that what you've got?
08:33He was toying with you
08:35I know!
08:36100%!
08:37Tell you what, he's been eating his turkey Brad
08:38It was some strong hits, so, round of applause for Sam
08:42Yes!
08:44Great job!
08:45Sadly no points
08:46Onward and upward to the next event
08:47There's Sam everyone!
08:49Sadly no points
08:50And of course, Giants!
08:58Next to duel, it is Joe!
09:00And he is going to battle with Viper!
09:19Well, it's good to see that Viper hasn't changed
09:22And a little bit scary to see as well
09:25I expect Viper got a lump of coal in his stocking this year
09:28Same as last year
09:29Same as last year
09:30And the year before
09:31And the year before
09:33And he's taking on our national treasure of a PE teacher
09:36Joe Wicks
09:37A.K.A. Activate
09:40Please try not to break him Viper
09:44Contender!
09:45Ready!
09:51Gladiator!
09:52Ready!
09:53En garde!
09:543, 2, 1
10:09Viper with the first hit, but did it come before the whistle?
10:15Joe is down and Viper celebrates
10:17But I suspect that will be looked at closely by Mark Clattenberg
10:22You can hear what the arena thinks as Viper hurls his gloves down and defeated Joe
10:30Two hits from Viper to break Joe's heart
10:33But did they come before 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 is a side of your head, you just, everything
10:45Well, I felt like I was upside down
10:47I'm going on the opposite side
10:49Yeah, stay away from Viper, that's why I'm all the way over here
10:51Sure, Viper went before the whistle
10:55What does that mean? What does that mean?
10:57Therefore, I'm disqualifying you
11:00Oh!
11:02So I can award Joe five points
11:05Put it there, bro
11:07We'll have that all day long
11:09Honestly, I cannot believe how it did felt a bit quit
11:11And I landed on my head as well to make it worse
11:13Look, two, one, you see that?
11:15Yeah, yeah
11:16You see, the number was still on the screen, number one, it wasn't ready
11:19And there's your evidence, you can't deny that, look, it's there
11:22You're out of order, mate, you're out of order, mate
11:23Vibes, the footage doesn't lie
11:25Joe Wick, you like teaching kids
11:31I hate kids
11:34Who are you?
11:36Every single one of you?
11:39He's nuts
11:44That's an angry little man
11:45He needs a cuddle
11:47He does need a cuddle
11:48Well, look, five points to you, Joe
11:50Put it there, mate
11:51Vipers definitely still on the naughty list
11:55But he's gifted Joe the lead
11:57After the first event, he has five points
11:59Sam yet to score
12:02Let us meet our next pair of celebrity contenders
12:05I'm Nicola Adams, I'm 42, from 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, became WBO world champion
12:20And now I'm an actor
12:22I retired from boxing in 2019
12:25I still work out, still stay in shape
12:27Still like to go into the gym, you know
12:28Keep the guns looking good
12:31I'm very strong, fast on my feet
12:35Very good hand-eye coordination
12:38The gladiators are very professional
12:40So I'm sure they're not scared
12:42But once they see me perform out there
12:44They will be
12:46What 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
13:02My name is Boge Williams
13:04I am 39
13:06I'm from Dublin, in Ireland
13:08And I'm a podcaster
13:10And I actually thought it was so funny
13:11that I was like, I'm not actually going to tell you that
13:14Nice to see you, but did you really have to kiss me in front of my...
13:17Stop!
13:18The reaction of my family when I told them
13:19I was going to be a contender in gladiators
13:21was severe jealousy
13:23It is something we grew up watching
13:25I loved it
13:30My upper body strength is embarrassing
13:33The one thing I'm really concerned about is the rope
13:36Because I can't lift myself up
13:37Because most of my weight is 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 blind of costumes
13:49And that was true
13:54Give a warm welcome to Nicola Adams and Boge Williams
13:58Welcome to the show, Nicola
14:16Introduce yourself to the arena
14:18I'm Nicola Adams, I'm 42
14:19I'm 42, I'm from Leeds
14:20And I'm an actor, an Olympic champion
14:23Yes!
14:25Olympic champion!
14:27The first ever
14:28Final gold medal boxing champion
14:32What a bummer!
14:35What events are you looking to take on?
14:38I'm really looking forward to the gauntlet
14:40Oh yeah, bit of you that
14:42Yeah, yeah, I want to test the gladiators
14:44Any gladiators you fear?
14:46I fear, I fear no one
14:51Let's hear it for Nicola Adams
14:56Boge, welcome to the show
14:57Say hi to the arena
14:59Hello champion!
15:01Legends!
15:03Now listen, Boge, I've got to ask you
15:04Are you sporty?
15:05I would like to say I'm a little bit sporty
15:07Probably not that sporty
15:08But sporty in my own way
15:10Do you think you can survive this?
15:12I think that I'm really good at beating Olympians actually
15:15That was who I beat in Bear Grylls
15:18Yeah!
15:19Yeah, you beat two Olympians in Bear Grylls
15:20I know and I like to collect them
15:22So I'm looking for a third
15:24Some fighting words here
15:29Okay, that being said
15:30What do you want to take on?
15:31What do you not want to take on?
15:32I'm a bit worried about the climbing wall
15:34Upper body strength not there
15:36Not mad about being chased by anyone
15:38Particularly a gladiator
15:40Imagine doing the eliminator
15:41I've always wanted to do that since I was eight
15:43So yeah, all of it
15:44Well look, you're gonna do the eliminator
15:45That's guaranteed at the end of the show
15:48Yeah, I can't wait
15:51Massive round of applause for Nicola and Boge
15:55Well those are our female celebrities
15:58So now it's time for them to take on
16:00Duel
16:03Oh yes, playing duel for the female celebrities
16:06It's Nicola
16:07And she is up against
16:12Fury
16:14She's back and just as ferocious as ever
16:27If Fury could be an animal, she says she'd be a koala bear
16:29Because they're so friendly
16:31Well let's see about that, shall we?
16:33Undefeated in the pro boxing ring
16:35But will Nicola make it through gladiators without losing?
16:39Contender ready!
16:41Gladiator ready!
16:43En garde!

18:42On Christmas morning, Sabre likes to rip up all her paper,
18:58knock over her tree and hide in a cardboard box.
19:02All totally normal.
19:04Vogue says she has most of her weight in her lower body.
19:07Good, good. A stable base is exactly what you need to stay on that podium.
19:12Contender, ready!
19:19Gladiator, ready!
19:24En garde!
19:34Three, two, one!
19:38Vogue is a very confident contender.
19:40Sabre's going to try and knock that out of her and knock her off the podium very quickly, indeed.
19:49Sabre is on Vogue.
19:50Vogue is on the floor.
19:52No gifts from Sabre, even at Christmas. She shows no mercy.
20:03Sabre, do you know what? You're a snake. You are a snake. She stood up there and she goes,
20:09I'm only going to go a little bit hard. Straight to the face.
20:13Girl, that was only a little. That was 10% of what I got.
20:16That was straight in the face.
20:20Did anyone notice that little sly dig to the head there, right before the whistle?
20:24See?
20:24Oh, I tell you what, I think that was right on the button.
20:26Right on the button, babe. I wouldn't do that. I'm not a cheat.
20:29Okay. That last shot of mine was right on the button, too, wasn't it, maybe?
20:32Yeah.
20:33Can I have a go of your ears, please?
20:34Oh, she can.
20:35Watch this.
20:38Wolverine.
20:39Great. Great.
20:42Better luck in the next event, Vogue, sadly, no points, but Sabre, everyone. What about that?
20:49Whilst Vogue and Sabre settle their differences outside the arena, let's take a look at the scores,
20:54which won't take long. Both contenders still working off their Christmas dinner. It's scoreless.
21:02Now, last series. One of our gladiators was left cheering on from the sidelines.
21:08But this year he's back, fighting fit and faster than ever.
21:12Fully charged and ready to go.
21:14Sheffield go wild for the one and only Nitro!
21:24Come on! Come on! I'm back! Are you ready? Are you ready?
21:30Get through it! I'm home! Come on! Woo! Come on!
21:36Now, that's what I wanted for Christmas. Nitro's back and raring to go. We'll see him very soon.
21:43Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
21:46I think it's safe to say we're so happy that he's back.
21:52Oh, look. Our celebrities are all high flyers in their chosen field.
21:56So are the gladiators. And when you're at the top of your game, you have much further to fall.
22:00A bit like our next event. It's...
22:02Collision!
22:05Collision.
22:09Playing Collision for the male contenders, it's Sam.
22:15And he needs to avoid Phantom and Apollo.
22:19Never one to ghost the competition, Phantom is set for a full-on collision with our celebrity contenders.
22:28Apollo's favourite Christmas film is Elf.
22:32He's no cotton-headed ninny-muggins.
22:34And facing him might be bad for our celebrities. Elf.
22:38And opposite them will be these two.
22:42Bionic wants human emotions. Well, he's programmed to win. So I'm sure he'll unwrap some euphoria very soon.
22:51Steel firmly believes that Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Now there's a debate. Another time, maybe. He's got work to do.
23:00Contender, ready!
23:07Gladiators, ready!
23:13Three, two, one!
23:16Okay, Sam, what have you got? Because I think we know what you're going to get.
23:21He's providing his own soundtrack as he tries to dodge the swinging gladiators.
23:25Puts the brakes on nicely and goes again.
23:28Mark Klanberg will have a word and tell him to keep moving, but he has at least made his first score.
23:33Two points on the board for Sam.
23:35Well, he does call himself a cockroach, so crawling is one way across.
23:40If they steal nicely there and gets in for another two points.
23:45Sam's getting the hang of this now.
23:47Or maybe he's too confident. There's a shout of move from the ref.
23:51And the showboating didn't last much longer.
23:54You don't do that to gladiators and get away with it.
23:57Down you go, Sam.
23:58Oh!
24:03Was that you?
24:07A gutsy run from Sam, but once he got the one, two, three from Bionic, his legs wouldn't compute anymore.
24:14That was class, that was so much fun!
24:17Wow! He's enormous!
24:20They're all enormous, they're all enormous!
24:22I've got to say as well, one of you was hanging there, I was just looking you in the eyes going...
24:26Look at you in the eyes, going, I don't know what to do, he's so big.
24:29I really panicked.
24:30To be knocked off the bridge by someone like you, mate, weirdly is a pleasure.
24:35I think that's the first time a contender's ever said that.
24:38Bionic, you were the one that got him off.
24:40He launched himself at me like he wanted a cuddle.
24:43And I've never seen anyone so happy on collision in my entire life.
24:49We've got to cuddle in the end, didn't we?
24:50Yeah, we've got to cuddle in the end.
24:52Oh, look, that's four points for Sam.
24:56Next to face, collision, it's Joe.
25:09Contender, ready.
25:15Gladiators, ready.
25:20Three, two, one.
25:23Now, I don't know about you, but I'm expecting Joe to be really nimble across the collision bridge.
25:29And he's nicely passed the first two Gladiators, trying to knock him down to the floor.
25:34Phantoms knocked the ball from his hands, so he can't score with that one.
25:37Has to take a fresh red ball and go back the other way.
25:41Impressive swerving from Joe, who's got really good core strength with that wobbly bridge beneath him.
25:47He throws that ball into the net for his first two points.
25:50Now Joe seems to be getting the hang of it, but he's in a spin here.
25:54Almost knocked off.
25:56Phantoms swings and misses.
25:58Joe gets in to make it four.
26:00Now, how many more could he score?
26:03He's given Phantoms the slip again.
26:05But then a bit of a stumble from Joe.
26:07He's trying to make the best of it by crawling his way underneath the Gladiators' swinging feet.
26:12Look at Sonia giving him some real encouragement.
26:15Oh, Joe's dropped the ball again.
26:17He'll have to go across the bridge, and I don't think he's going to have any time to score any more points.
26:23No, the game is up.
26:24Joe is left stranded on six.
26:27But a great effort to 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.
26:49Are you happy with that?
26:49I'll take it.
26:50I'm happy with that.
26:50No, absolutely.
26:51It's a good start.
26:52Good contender.
26:54Absolutely.
26:54I'm going to crown him as not-so-average Joe.
26:58But I've got to say as well, how good is it?
27:00We are back.
27:02Well done, Joe, everyone.
27:03Give it up for Joe.
27:06After two events, Joe activates a seven-point lead.
27:09He's on 11, while Sam has four.
27:14Look inside.
27:16What?
27:17This is better than our best.
27:18This is sick.
27:19Oh, price case.
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 stick one in their outfits.
27:26See if you feel like a proper bellier.
27:27I'll put giants on.
27:28Yeah.
27:29It's going to be loose, isn't it?
27:31Yeah, it's fine.
27:32Yeah, go straight through.
27:33That's it.
27:35Keep an eye on him.
27:37If he comes in, I'm going to smash him.
27:38Oh, Matt, it's a little baggy on the crotch.
27:42Do I look like a giant?
27:43You look good, but you need to pump the chest up, mate.
27:45You need more of a divot, more of a dent in the chest.
27:47Here we go.
27:48That's it.
27:48The thing is, they do walk around like this, don't they?
27:51Yeah, they're definitely tense.
27:52Here we go.
27:52Ready?
27:53Let's hit it.
27:55Oh, oh.
27:57Oh, no!
27:59What the heck are you doing here?
28:01No!
28:01No!
28:02No!
28:03No!
28:04Put me down!
28:06Get out of here.
28:07No!
28:08It's the most humiliating thing I've done.
28:09Yeah.
28:10Oh, my God.
28:10Hell 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.
28:25These two gladiators form a real power couple.
28:28Electro is a collision veteran, so these celebrities, well, 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!
28:54Gladiators, ready!
28:56Three, two, one!
29:02So, Nicola's turn to take on the collision bridge.
29:05Or just take it apart.
29:07How easy was that?
29:09Two points scored straight away.
29:11And 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, who 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, but 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.
29:43She's got time to make it ten points if 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.
30:00I 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.
30:09There were a few close calls, but Nicola rolled with the punches.
30:15Well, the kicks anyway.
30:17What else could we have expected?
30:21A brilliant 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 here on the collision for us, aren't you?
30:44Oh, can 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.
30:54Ten points.
30:56Unbelievable.
30:57Nicola does, everyone.
30:58And, of course, our brilliant gladiators.
31:04Next up, on collision, it's Vogue.
31:12Contender, ready!
31:18Gladiators, ready!
31:20Three, two, one.
31:26Let's see if Vogue can last longer on the collision bridge than 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.
31:36Now, 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.
31:48She's finding a nice rhythm now.
31:50Oh, but she's got to make sure she hangs on to the ball.
31:54One, two, one.
31:54I bet that you needed reminding 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.
32:08Fighting fire.
32:10All the time keeping an eye on Comet.
32:12Now Vogue has to get back to her feet and go.
32:15Sonia McClymer 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.
32:23Three, two, one.
32:26That's it for Vogue.
32:28One last shot for luck.
32:30Well saved, Mark.
32:35Vogue's height meant a lot of time ducking low,
32:38but she scored pretty high.
32:39Six is very respectable.
32:42Now to be here up against the gladiators,
32:45like, 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
32:55for a little bit of a beating in here.
32:56How is she as a contender?
32:57She is absolutely great.
32:59This is massive.
33:00That is six points to Vogue!
33:03Thank you to Vogue and our gladiators.
33:07Awesome.
33:07Finally, some Christmas cheer.
33:12Both celebrities are on the board,
33:14and not for the first time.
33:15Nicola's ahead on points.
33:18Our next event is The Wall,
33:20and 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.
33:30Climbing 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...
33:46Metro and Hammer!
33:48I hope Hammer climbs better than he dances,
34:06because he might have something to prove to Sam.
34:08Is he too big to climb fast?
34:11Or has Sam talked too much?
34:15Hammer excels at clobbering contenders,
34:17but he can knock out a perfect hem, too.
34:20With his size and speed,
34:21he's tailor-made for this event.
34:23Back to the streets, right?
34:25All right, all right.
34:28Contenders, ready!
34:30Let's go.
34:33Gladiators, ready!
34:36Let's go!
34:38Come on, boy.
34:38Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
34:41Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle.
34:44Three, two, one.
34:46Away they go, and Joe in red will have to climb particularly quickly,
34:51because Nitro's back, and this is one of his best events.
34:55It'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,
35:02as on the other side, Sam just keeps out of the clutches of Hammer.
35:06Maybe he was right.
35:07He could be about to beat him on the wall.
35:10There'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-energized Nitro.
35:27Sam, I've got one thing to say to you.
35:29You made it to the top of the wall!
35:30I feel like a little whippet.
35:36That was mad.
35:36I'd only just fall off things.
35:38Well, look, you've done so well there.
35:40That's a massive ten points!
35:42Yeah!
35:44Bam on the floor here with Joe.
35:46You're up against Nitro.
35:47Once you lose that foot and you lose momentum,
35:49he had me.
35:50He's a strong guy.
35:51He's a unit.
35:52I won't get in the way from him then.
35:53Nitro, how does it feel to be back?
35:55It feels absolutely amazing to be back home in Sheffield.
36:00But look, my guy slipped.
36:02And when you slip on this wall, it's so unforgiving.
36:05So I've got to give him massive props.
36:07Let's hear it for Joe.
36:08Come on!
36:10Sam as well, obviously.
36:12What happened there, mate?
36:13You had a shocker, if you don't mind me saying.
36:15Yeah, he did go to plan.
36:16You know what?
36:16His nickname should be Squirrel, the way he went up there.
36:18You know what I mean?
36:19Yeah.
36:20My thanks to Nitro, Hammer, Joe, and of course, ten points for Sam!
36:29Well, well, the cockroach climbs into the lead.
36:32After three events, Sam has 14 points.
36:35Joe's on 11.
36:37Time now for the female contenders.
36:39On the left-hand side, it is Nicola.
36:44And on the right-hand side, it's Vogue.
36:46And they have got to get away from Dynamite and Cyclone.
37:06Cyclone straight across to get in Vogue's face, but she's not fazed.
37:10It's time for the All-Island Games.
37:13This will be Cyclone's debut on the wall.
37:15The wall should be worried.
37:20Dynamite is small and mighty, and she's ready to have a ripping time.
37:30Contenders, ready!
37:35Gladiators, ready!
37:37You 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.
37:58Vogue's been caught by Cyclone.
38:00And Dynamite has got a hold on Nicola.
38:03How long can they hold on?
38:05It's not about the climbing anymore.
38:08Oh, 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.
38:18But 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.
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!
38:40Sorry.
38:41I've got to ask you first, though, Vogue.
38:43Intimidating tactics from Cyclone in your face.
38:46I mean, honestly, I've never seen such a behaviour, Cyclone.
38:50Very, very quick indeed.
38:51Out of the blocks, what do you think?
38:53This is actually my wall debut.
38:55Oh!
38:56Boom, boom, boom!
38:57Oh, yeah!
38:58Boom, boom, boom!
39:01I don't think anyone would expect a 5'10", 96-kilo stallion to be able to move that fast.
39:08But clearly, I can.
39:11I'm going to say, that might not have been our thing.
39:15But wait, you see us for the next one.
39:16You're going down, especially you.
39:18Oh!
39:20Yeah, yeah!
39:21Oh!
39:24See you, Vogue!
39:26While Cyclone sweeps Vogue away, let's take a look at the scores.
39:31And with nothing gained from the wall, Nicola still leads by 10 points to 6.
39:35Next up is Gauntlet, and 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?
39:48Daring to take on the gauntlet for the male contenders, it's Sam!
39:59And he'll be facing this fearsome 5.
40:09Phantom, Nitro, Steel, Bionic, and Apollo!
40:14Having taken down Joe on the wall, Nitro now has the chance to defeat Sam too.
40:35Can he stamp out the cockroach for good?
40:37Contender, ready!
40:47Gladiators, ready!
40:523, 2, 1!
40:55I wonder if ever Bouncy Sam will still be cheerful by the end of this.
41:01Well, he's managed to get past the first two zones, away from Steel 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 Cockroach strikes again!
41:26Come on, Nitro!
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.
41:43Unfortunately, your foot wasn't over the line.
41:48No!
41:50Therefore, 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.
42:17That's a points to Sam!
42:20Come on!
42:21Next up, on the Gold Club run, it is Joe!
42:34Contender, ready!
42:36Ready!
42:41Gladiators, ready!
42:42Three, 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 four, where Bionic can't pull.
43:04He gets a grip with him.
43:05Joe there tried to dive underneath Apollo.
43:07He's through now!
43:09Ten points for Joe!
43:11He successfully runs the gauntlet.
43:16That was amazing!
43:18You've got to be happy with him.
43:19What a tactic!
43:20Dodge and weave, dodge and weave, you'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!
43:36I enjoyed that one, I was caught dazed!
43:39Ten points for Joe!
43:42What a result for Joe!
43:44Sam 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!
44:25It 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.
44:44Contender, ready!
44:50Gladiators, ready!
44:53Three, 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.
45:14Cyclone stops her for a while, but she can't stop her fully.
45:17Ten points, Nicola.
45:19We knew that was coming.
45:25They really wanted to stop you.
45:27Yeah, they really did.
45:28They really tried.
45:29But do you know what?
45:30Cream always rises to the top, baby!
45:32I 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.
45:53Absolutely brilliant.
45:54Ten points, gotta be happy on that.
45:56Absolutely buzzing with that.
45:58Thanks, everyone, let's go!
45:59Our next female celebrity to run the contest, it's Vogue!
46:09Contender, ready!
46:15Gladiators, ready!
46:20Three, two, one!
46:24Not as strong as Nicola, Vogue will have to use her guile and skill here.
46:28She is into zone three, though.
46:30And 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!
46:47What 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!
46:56Dynamite, 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
47:27and is chasing down the Olympic champion.
47:30But Nicola maintains her lead with 20,
47:32so she's got the advantage for the eliminator.
47:35Oh, wow.
47:37Yeah.
47:38What a show.
47:39Thank you so much.
47:40Just one final event stands between
47:42our star contenders and victory.
47:45It's just like a VIP after-party,
47:47but less champagne and more sweat.
47:49Yes, and the only thing being popped are hamstrings.
47:53Here 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
48:15will 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.
48:28For the Celebrity Gladiator Trophy,
48:32contenders ready!
48:36Sam, you will go on my first whistle.
48:38Joe, 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.
49:06A quick unclip of the trapeze,
49:08and he's in front once more.
49:10The 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.
49:28And 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.
49:51And 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's stumble
50:27as Joe raised clear to be our male celebrity champion.
50:32Dude, you look so happy.
50:33Mate, I'm so chuffed, man.
50:35Like, it is so amazing.
50:37Like, the crowd, everybody here.
50:39That 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, that's amazing.
50:50What a great contender, great partner, great dancing partner.
50:52I love you.
50:52Yeah, brilliant.
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, Sam came off the balance beam,
51:08give you the edge, settled yourself up the travelator.
51:11What are you thinking at that time?
51:12I'll tell you what, even though, you know,
51:14I had a bit of a breather,
51:15I still found that travelator hard.
51:16It's much harder than watching at home on TV.
51:19You know, I'm really chuffed that I won,
51:20but 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,
51:28You are our Celebrity Gladiator Champion!
51:36There you go.
51:38There's your medals as well.
51:41Sam has done a runner-up!
51:44Yes!
51:48Gladiator Champion, everyone!
51:50Now it's the turn of our female celebrity contenders.
51:54Nicola has a four-point lead
51:56and therefore a two-seconds head start.
51:58Over to referee Mark Klettenberg.
52:01For the Celebrity Gladiator Trophy,
52:05contenders, ready!
52:09Nicola, you will go on my first whistle.
52:12Vogue, you will go on my second whistle.
52:13Three, 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
52:37in 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
52:47she's going to get up the rope at all.
52:49She did say that she was worried
52:51about her upper body strength
52:52and she's getting the ladder out
52:53for a bit of help.
52:55Nicola was stuck just momentarily
52:57on 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
53:08to catch her up.
53:10She'll keep going, that's for sure.
53:12And there's that upper body strength
53:14being 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
53:28to take on the zip wire next.
53:32Vogue looks as though she's really struggling,
53:35but 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.
53:45And she 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.
54:02And here comes Vogue.
54:04This might not be over yet, you know.
54:07Again, Nicola slightly wobbly at the end of the beam.
54:12But 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.
54:30Who's got the desire, the energy,
54:32the willpower to win this epic elimination?
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,
55:17is Vogue!
55:21Vogue!
55:30Unbelievable!
55:32I tell you now,
55:35it was extraordinary, Nic.
55:36It was a struggle for you.
55:38Yeah, it really was.
55:39I came down on the zip line,
55:41and I just landed funny on my ankle,
55:43and then I just couldn't get my ankle going.
55:45Oh, but what a fantastic competitor, Nicola.
55:48OK, leave your line to bring in Nicola's medal.
55:51There you go.
55:52That was fantastic.
55:53Well done, Nic.
55:54Absolutely sensational.
55:56It's the first silver medal I've had.
55:57Congratulations on Nicola Adams!
56:02Colin!
56:04Vogue, that was a tricky eliminator.
56:06You were quite far behind Nicola,
56:08but 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,
56:18when I was doing so badly.
56:19You were so nice.
56:21Honestly, thank you.
56:22You really like that.
56:23You push us on.
56:25I've got one thing to say to you.
56:26You're our Gladiators Celebrity Champion!
56:30Oh, amazing!
56:32Here comes Mr. Klatenberg with the trophy.
56:35There you go!
56:37Well done, Nic.
56:38Well done.
56:39Congratulations.
56:44Champion Vogue heads over
56:46to soak up the adulation of her adoring fans.
56:50She'll be so grateful to them,
56:52and to that ladder.
56:53Merry Christmas, everyone!
56:56What 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
57:02they 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

57:33I 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.
57:42No!
57:43Three brand new events.
57:45Yes!
57:46It's truly squeaky bone time.
57:51Sorry about that.
57:52It's on the top!

58:08Babes, you've got scorched today.
58:10What do they say?
