00:00:00Do you feel the power of the gladiators?
00:00:15Do you have the will and the skill?
00:00:20Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:00:26It's not for beginners, get down in your soul
00:00:32Are you a creator?
00:00:56Are you a gladiator?
00:01:08Sheffield Arena, the home of gladiators!
00:01:12Please make some noise for your hosts, Bradley and Barney Walsh!
00:01:29Welcome to Gladiators!
00:01:32Yeah!
00:01:33Alright!
00:01:34The show with the fittest contenders!
00:01:39The fittest gladiators!
00:01:42The fittest referees!
00:01:45And the fittest presenters!
00:01:49Tough crowd!
00:01:51Let's meet tonight's contenders!
00:01:57I'm Sean, I'm 20 years old, I'm from Lancashire
00:01:59And I'm a degree apprentice in the aerospace industry
00:02:04Ever since I was at school, I've always loved the aeroplanes
00:02:07And when a degree apprenticeships came up
00:02:09I had to apply it and I managed to get a role there
00:02:14I discovered fitness from my dad really
00:02:16Growing up, he was always on the chin-up bar
00:02:18He was always training
00:02:19My dad was on gladiators in 1995
00:02:21He got all the way to the semi-finals
00:02:23You've obviously got the edge on me with youth
00:02:26But just remember, your old dad will still beat you at an arm wrestle
00:02:30He's going to be the loudest person in that arena
00:02:33Honestly, we might have to kick him out
00:02:35I'm worried about that
00:02:36Feeling dangerous!
00:02:38I call myself a bit of a hybrid athlete
00:02:40I'm driven, I'm strong
00:02:41And I'm ready to take on all these gladiators
00:02:43And win this show
00:02:45My name's Hindley, I'm 25
00:02:47I'm from Cheshire, I'm a baker
00:02:49I've been running an Asian fusion bakery for the last two years in Newcastle
00:02:54They're all Asian fusion based
00:02:56So there are sandwiches, we use Italian focaccia
00:02:58And the Korean beef
00:03:01I grew up around Asian food all my life
00:03:03My mum's a massive foodie
00:03:04And so I think it was inevitable that I did something in food
00:03:07I train every single day
00:03:09But my biggest strength is my problem solving skills
00:03:11Also lifting that really heavy mix there
00:03:15If I didn't think I could win this
00:03:17I wouldn't have entered
00:03:19I didn't do anything half baked
00:03:22Please welcome Sean and Hindley
00:03:39Please introduce yourself to everyone in the arena
00:03:42I'm Sean Stephen, I'm 20 years old
00:03:44And I live on a farm in Lancashire
00:03:49Now this is interesting
00:03:50This isn't our normal gladiators outfit
00:03:52What's going on there?
00:03:53Yeah, sure
00:03:54My dad was actually a contender in 1995
00:03:58And this is this track, this is his
00:04:00This is the original track suit
00:04:02Only about ten people may have this in the world
00:04:04So it's from his series
00:04:06And I thought I'd do him proud and wear it today
00:04:08As he got all the way to the semi-finals
00:04:10And you know, we're quite competitive
00:04:12I'm ready to take it one step further
00:04:13And beat him and get to the finals at least
00:04:15That is great
00:04:16I love it
00:04:17That is Sean everyone
00:04:19Hindley, welcome to the show
00:04:23Say hi to Sheffield Forest
00:04:24Hello, my name is Hindley
00:04:26I'm 25
00:04:27I'm originally from Cheshire
00:04:29I'm a baker
00:04:30But now I live in Newcastle
00:04:32Yeah!
00:04:34Your mum says she's very proud of you
00:04:36Is she here tonight?
00:04:37Yes, she's just all the way over there
00:04:40You're also into your CrossFit?
00:04:41Yeah, I've been doing that for the past ten years
00:04:43Since I was 15
00:04:44And I've competed all around the UK
00:04:46And Asia and Europe as well
00:04:48And you told us that you can do a handstand
00:04:50Now I've got to ask you
00:04:52In front of everyone here
00:04:53Do you think you can do a handstand for us?
00:04:55Absolutely
00:04:56Let's see it!
00:04:57Let's go guys!
00:04:59Yeah!
00:05:02What about that?
00:05:04Dad, you can stand on your hands, can't you?
00:05:06Absolutely
00:05:12That is Sean and Hindley
00:05:16Now we've met our male contenders
00:05:18It's time for them to take on
00:05:20Condition
00:05:22Playing collision for the male contenders
00:05:24It's Sean
00:05:28And he needs to avoid
00:05:30Phantom and Hammer
00:05:36Phantom's specialist skill is his stealth
00:05:38Watch how he floats through this event
00:05:44Meanwhile Hammer has the longest legs of all the gladiators
00:05:47Great for collision
00:05:49Unless you're a contender
00:05:50And Bionic
00:05:53And Bionic
00:05:54And Giant
00:05:55Standing at 6 foot 6
00:05:57Bionic wears size 14 shoes and weighs 19 stone
00:06:01Imagine that crashing into you
00:06:03Completing the club of absolute giants is Giant
00:06:08Everything about him is massive
00:06:10Including the problem he'll give contenders
00:06:13To kick off the evening
00:06:15To kick off the evening
00:06:16Let's hand over to our refereeing team
00:06:18Of Lee Phillips, Sonya McLomer
00:06:19And the boss man
00:06:20Mark Clattenberg
00:06:22Contender
00:06:23Contender
00:06:24Ready
00:06:25Gladiators
00:06:26Ready
00:06:27Three
00:06:28Two
00:06:29One
00:06:30Away goes Sean
00:06:39And straight away Bionic has a swing
00:06:41But misses
00:06:42And Sean is doing some very handy dodging
00:06:45With his first round to score 2 points
00:06:47He's sprinting across to try and get another 2
00:06:50Little bit of a problem
00:06:51But he's evaded the legs of Giant
00:06:53Well played
00:06:54Hammer gets a touch
00:06:55Sean
00:06:56He's wrapped up now
00:06:57And he stumbles
00:06:58But he's up to score again
00:07:00He's under 6
00:07:01This is really good from Sean
00:07:03He gives Phantom the slip
00:07:04He gets past Hammer
00:07:06In comes Giant
00:07:08Who's in the way
00:07:09And bumps him to the floor
00:07:11All over for Sean
00:07:13But he's done pretty well
00:07:21It's not just contenders and gladiators
00:07:23Who take the hits in this show
00:07:25The equipment isn't safe either
00:07:27Sean's helmet cam
00:07:28Takes a hammering
00:07:30Anyone got the tape?
00:07:32Yes!
00:07:33Come on, Sheffield!
00:07:35Let's have a look at the moment
00:07:37When you were taken down by Giant
00:07:39Look at this
00:07:40Here we go
00:07:41Boom
00:07:42I think it was Giant's rear end
00:07:44Yes
00:07:46Yeah
00:07:47That's it
00:07:48That's it
00:07:49Oh it's
00:07:50Oh that's a
00:07:51Yeah
00:07:52The show's gone a bit weird there
00:07:55That is Sean everyone
00:07:56And our brilliant gladiators
00:08:00Next to face collision
00:08:01It's Hindley
00:08:05Contender
00:08:07Ready
00:08:11Gladiators
00:08:12Ready
00:08:17Three
00:08:18Two
00:08:19One
00:08:20Well Hindley gave us a confident wave before the start
00:08:23And look at that
00:08:24He's caught the gladiators on the hop
00:08:26Now Mark Klanberg says put the ball in the net
00:08:28Not in the basket
00:08:29That'll confuse things
00:08:30He's going for the same technique
00:08:32This time they're onto him
00:08:34Hindley has to stop and go again
00:08:36But he does score to make it four
00:08:39How about equaling Sean's total of six?
00:08:41Well he's steadily got it in him
00:08:43But he's got a problem now
00:08:44He must keep moving
00:08:45That's part of the rules
00:08:46And now he's moving
00:08:48Down to the floor
00:08:49Get down
00:08:50Get down
00:08:51Get down
00:08:52Get down
00:08:53Get down
00:08:54Get down
00:08:55Get down
00:08:56This was the moment that Hindley lost his balance
00:08:58And got whisked away
00:09:01Put it there Hindley
00:09:02Good job man
00:09:03Guys
00:09:04Hindley is a contender
00:09:05What do you make of him?
00:09:06I am so sorry for hitting you in the head about four times
00:09:09No I thought he was excellent
00:09:11But one of the things about him that I know
00:09:13Is that he's a baker
00:09:14Yes
00:09:15And I love cake
00:09:16So I have to get you down as soon as possible
00:09:17I need a cake from you
00:09:19Can we do that?
00:09:20Can we do that?
00:09:21Absolutely
00:09:22Cool
00:09:23Hindley the baker might be hoping to rise to the top
00:09:26But after one event it's Sean who leads
00:09:28By six points to four
00:09:31It's time now to meet the female contenders for tonight
00:09:35My name's Ella, I'm 28
00:09:38I'm from Bournemouth
00:09:39And I'm an army doctor
00:09:40Representing all the women
00:09:42Salute
00:09:43I'm very proud to be an army doctor
00:09:45It's a privilege to be able to see patients in the way that I do
00:09:49I get to see people and support people out when they're doing their job
00:09:53On exercise or on deployment
00:09:55I do think I have a cool job
00:09:57I've done lots of different sports over the years
00:09:59So I did like athletics at school
00:10:01Gymnastics was one of my main sports growing up
00:10:03I started doing rugby about the same time
00:10:07I'm doing gladiators
00:10:09Because the breadth of skills that it covers
00:10:11Is very much within my comfort zone
00:10:13I can't wait to just get in the arena
00:10:14And show them what I can do
00:10:16Because I can beat them
00:10:17Because I know I'm stronger
00:10:24My name's Kyra, I'm 29
00:10:25I'm a beauty therapist from Derry in Northern Ireland
00:10:28I do my hair talk
00:10:30Check my nails
00:10:31I think it's so important to look good
00:10:33Always have to make sure the hair's slicked back
00:10:35Jewellery on
00:10:36Bit of makeup
00:10:37Blusher
00:10:38Perfume
00:10:39There's a routine
00:10:40But it works
00:10:41If I look good
00:10:43I feel good
00:10:44I train good
00:10:45I win
00:10:46I love throwing heavyweights above my head
00:10:49It's just so much fun
00:10:50It feels empowering to be strong as a woman
00:10:53I think my clients will be terrified
00:10:55They'll say this different side to me on gladiators
00:10:58They'll never come back
00:11:00People might underestimate me
00:11:02Because I'm a beauty therapist
00:11:03And I like to look good
00:11:05But I'm stronger than a lot of people think
00:11:07The gladiators better watch out
00:11:09Because behind the beauty
00:11:10There's a beast
00:11:13Please give a warm welcome to
00:11:15Ella and Kyra
00:11:17Ella, welcome to the show
00:11:33Please introduce yourself to the arena
00:11:35I'm Ella, I'm 28
00:11:37And I'm an army doctor from Bournemouth
00:11:39Yes!
00:11:41You're a bit of a natural sportswoman, eh?
00:11:43Yeah, I'm from a very active family
00:11:45My mum and dad, who are both in the audience
00:11:47My dad does taekwondo parkour
00:11:49My mum does a bit of parkour as well
00:11:51And yeah, we grew up in a house
00:11:53There was like ropes to get upstairs
00:11:55And like bars in every window to swing through
00:11:57And everything
00:11:58I think you'll find that's a prison
00:11:59It's not a prison
00:12:01Everyone, give her that for Ella!
00:12:03There you go!
00:12:07Kyra, welcome to the show
00:12:08Introduce yourself to Sheffield
00:12:10Hi Sheffield, my name's Kyra
00:12:12I'm 29
00:12:13I'm a beauty therapist from County Derry in Northern Ireland
00:12:15Yeah!
00:12:17You're a beauty therapist
00:12:19Yeah, but I'm rough and ready too
00:12:21So I'm ready to give it my all
00:12:23Now, we're here at Gladiators
00:12:25My question to you is
00:12:27Who do you want to take on?
00:12:29I really want to take on Cyclone
00:12:31I may be a beauty therapist
00:12:33But things are about to get ugly
00:12:35Ooh!
00:12:37Fighting words from Kyra
00:12:38We wish you all the very best of luck
00:12:39That's Ella and Kyra
00:12:41Now we've met our female contenders
00:12:45It's time for their first event
00:12:47Commission
00:12:51Playing collision for the female contenders
00:12:53Give it up for Ella
00:12:55Yes!
00:12:57And she's going to need to dodge Sabre
00:13:01And Fire
00:13:05Sabre's no copy cap when it comes to collision
00:13:09She's fierce, wild and untameable
00:13:11When fire comes flying through the air
00:13:17Contenders won't be breathing easily
00:13:19They'd better keep moving
00:13:21And Athena and Electro
00:13:29Electro has taken part in collision
00:13:31More times than any female gladiator
00:13:33The energy she supplies is
00:13:35Electrifying
00:13:37And it's Athena
00:13:39Who completes this ferocious line-up
00:13:41Apparently she'd love to be an eagle
00:13:43Golden
00:13:48Contender
00:13:49Ready!
00:13:51Gladiators
00:13:54Ready!
00:13:583
00:13:592
00:14:001
00:14:01Go on then Ella
00:14:03Show us what you're made of
00:14:04She's managed to escape the first two gladiators
00:14:06But Sabre's in her way now
00:14:08Can't take her down
00:14:09Two points on the board
00:14:11And quickly racing back across
00:14:13She's managed to evade Electro
00:14:15And it's going to be another two point score for Ella
00:14:18She looks determined
00:14:19She looks quick
00:14:20But now she's hit the floor
00:14:22And she's got to recover quickly
00:14:24Bouncing back to her feet
00:14:26She's across the score again
00:14:28Six points thrown into the net
00:14:30That one
00:14:31Ella's now enjoying herself
00:14:33She's fighting off Electro's legs
00:14:36Beating Athena with ease
00:14:38Oh this is wonderful to watch
00:14:40Go on Ella
00:14:41Keep going
00:14:42She's got such strength
00:14:43And even though she keeps going down to her knees on the bridge
00:14:47She will not be deflected away from her goal
00:14:50Down again
00:14:52But if she gets up we could be talking records here
00:14:55She's going through
00:14:56And it's another two points
00:14:57Ella's on to twelve
00:14:59Time is against her now
00:15:01But it is twelve points for Ella
00:15:04And that is the highest score on Collision
00:15:07Ever
00:15:08By any contender
00:15:11Just brilliant from Ella the army doctor
00:15:14Who left the gladiators needing treatment
00:15:16She's here to win
00:15:17She's here to win
00:15:20You took a few blows
00:15:21I got a bit in the nose
00:15:22Yeah
00:15:23I feel alright, yeah
00:15:24Yeah, okay
00:15:25Well, luckily you're a doctor
00:15:26You can sort yourself out after
00:15:28But that is a Collision record
00:15:30Six crossings
00:15:32Yeah!
00:15:3312 points!
00:15:36Fantastic!
00:15:40Next on Collision
00:15:41It's Kira
00:15:47Contender
00:15:48Ready!
00:15:53Gladiators
00:15:54Ready!
00:15:58Three
00:15:59Two
00:16:00One
00:16:02Kira with the same approach as Ella
00:16:04Watching carefully
00:16:05But using her speed and agility too
00:16:07The ball kicked out of her hand though by fire
00:16:09So no score on the first crossing
00:16:12Second crossing
00:16:13Is a breeze
00:16:14A cross for her first points in the net
00:16:18Watching carefully again
00:16:19Oh, they've got her
00:16:20Two of them
00:16:21To take her down
00:16:22Just two points for Kira
00:16:29Well, she might be a pro with the eyebrow tweezer
00:16:32Welcome to the gladiator leg squeezer
00:16:37One crossing, two points, that's a good start
00:16:39Yeah, I'm buzzing with that
00:16:40We'll take that
00:16:41It's only the first game, so
00:16:42Onwards and upwards
00:16:43That is Kira
00:16:44And of course our gladiators
00:16:48A record score on Collision
00:16:50Sees Ella on 12 points to Kira's two
00:16:53But there's plenty of events remaining for her to rack up some more
00:16:58Next up, we've got a brand new event named after a famous mountain
00:17:01Now that is Summit
00:17:03Was that a mountain pun?
00:17:04Yep
00:17:05Anymore?
00:17:06No, peaked
00:17:07Right
00:17:08This is Everest
00:17:09Good joke, right?
00:17:10No, not a good joke
00:17:11No, not a good joke
00:17:12Everest
00:17:15A brand new event featuring the highest freefall ever on gladiators
00:17:21Contender and gladiator must push a 220kg sliding wall across a 10m platform
00:17:27Each trying to shove their opponent over the edge into a chilling 16 foot drop
00:17:35When the siren sounds, the platform tilts, first giving the contender the advantage
00:17:40Before shifting in favour of the gladiator
00:17:44Who will conquer the summit and who will face the terrifying plummet?
00:17:48It's time to push it
00:17:51Push it real good
00:17:54Facing the mighty Everest is Sean
00:17:57But which gladiator will you be up against?
00:18:03Who are you going to take on?
00:18:05Oh, is it Apollo?
00:18:06Apollo
00:18:07It's Hammer
00:18:11There you have it
00:18:12You'll be taking on Hammer
00:18:15I'm excited
00:18:16He's strong
00:18:17We'll see how it goes
00:18:18Now
00:18:19Let's find out
00:18:20Hindley, who you are taking on
00:18:22How do you feel about taking on Viper?
00:18:36Buzzing, I'm ready
00:18:38Buzzing, ready
00:18:39Let's see how it goes
00:18:40Well, further ado, it is time to play
00:18:43Everest
00:18:47And time for Sean to face off against Hammer
00:18:50Who might be 29 kilos heavier
00:18:53But Sean has youth on his side
00:18:55And gladiator's heritage in his blood
00:18:58This should be some battle
00:19:02Contender and gladiator, step forward
00:19:09Sean walking slowly
00:19:12I'm not surprised, he looks terrified
00:19:15It's my arena, this is a lion stand
00:19:17I'm terrified
00:19:20Take your positions
00:19:21Take your positions
00:19:26Contender, ready
00:19:29Creator, ready
00:19:32Creator, ready
00:19:37Three, two, one
00:19:40It's important for Sean to start well as they both thug into the screen
00:19:44And look at Hammer already driving
00:19:47Sean's clinging on
00:19:49These first few seconds are vital because
00:19:52If he can just stay there and stand his ground
00:19:55And that's easier said than done
00:19:57Soon the platform will tilt in his favour
00:20:00Hammer is trying his best to
00:20:03Shove him off the end before that happens
00:20:04But here we go
00:20:06It's tilt time
00:20:08And this is where Sean might be able to gain some ground
00:20:11And push that scream back
00:20:13Listen to the squeals of anguish
00:20:15They're coming from Sean
00:20:17Hammer's more the strong, silent type
00:20:19And Hammer's pushing back
00:20:21Despite being at a huge disadvantage
00:20:23I can't help but wonder if Sean screaming like that is using up all of his energy
00:20:29Because here we go
00:20:31The tilt goes the other way
00:20:33And it will be time for Hammer to finish the job
00:20:38Sean is cooked with salt and pepper
00:20:42A very happy prancing Hammer
00:20:45And this is why the contender stood strong for as long as he could
00:20:49But once everything shifted
00:20:51There was only one outcome
00:20:53I would ask you how you prepare for an event like this
00:20:57But I don't really think you can
00:21:00It's tough man, that's 220 kilos or something
00:21:03So yeah, really enjoyed it
00:21:05Well Hammer, it certainly was Hammer time
00:21:07Yes, you put a real shift in
00:21:09That was tough up there
00:21:11But this is Hammer's event
00:21:12Oh, that is Sean
00:21:15And of course, Hammer
00:21:21Next up, hoping to conquer Everest
00:21:23It's Hindley
00:21:27And he is up against
00:21:29Viper
00:21:34Viper has the edge in height and weight
00:21:37But also in cunning and trickery
00:21:39Can Hindley avoid being bitten
00:21:40And defang the Viper
00:21:46Contender and Gladiator
00:21:48Step forward
00:21:55Viper gives it the rah
00:21:57Is Hindley bothered?
00:21:59Nah
00:22:02Take your positions
00:22:03Contender
00:22:05Contender
00:22:07Ready
00:22:09Gladiator
00:22:11Ready
00:22:133, 2, 1
00:22:153, 2, 1
00:22:16Here comes the crash
00:22:19Here comes the crash
00:22:21Hindley straight away using his lower centre of gravity to try and get full force on that screen
00:22:27Viper gets the side
00:22:29A word of warning for Viper who's clinging onto the side rail
00:22:32He's at it already, you can't do that
00:22:34Players can only have hands and bodies against the wall
00:22:38Viper inching Hindley towards the edge
00:22:41But that might change now
00:22:43Here comes the tilt
00:22:45And look at Viper going
00:22:47He's sliding towards oblivion here
00:22:49If Hindley can keep on pushing
00:22:51And he'll do just that
00:22:53There's no stopping him
00:22:55He's roared on by his friends and family
00:22:56It's going to be a win for Hindley
00:23:02And pure joy for Mum
00:23:05V really is for victory
00:23:08Not Viper
00:23:12There was no stopping our Baker
00:23:15He was on a roll
00:23:20How do you feel?
00:23:21You're great
00:23:23You were a bit under pressure right from the off
00:23:24You pulled it back
00:23:25Absolutely
00:23:26Just don't give up
00:23:27Yeah, absolutely
00:23:29Sort of very slippy up there Viper
00:23:31Lost your footing a bit
00:23:33Bradley
00:23:35What do you do here?
00:23:37Do us a favour
00:23:39Just retire
00:23:50It's the only time I've ever heard him speak
00:23:52Well done mate
00:23:55Ten points
00:23:57Put it in!
00:24:02There it is
00:24:04Right, calm thoughts
00:24:06This is what helps me when I'm sad and upset and angry
00:24:08Please look after me
00:24:09I mean...
00:24:10He's just retired the Panda
00:24:25Don't worry kids, the medics made sure that Panda was fine
00:24:29After two events
00:24:31Hindley's lead is black and white
00:24:32He's got 14 points
00:24:34Sean's got six
00:24:36Facing the mighty Everest is Ella
00:24:39But which gladiator will you be up against?
00:24:47Cyclone, how do you feel about that?
00:24:48She was the one I didn't want
00:24:51Really?
00:24:52Out of all of them?
00:24:53I'll put her in her place now, it's fine
00:24:55Oh, fighting words
00:24:57Okay, now let's find out who you'll be playing Kira
00:25:00You're up against Diamond!
00:25:10Do you know what? She's an amazing gladiator so I'm ready for it
00:25:14Here we go then, it's time to play Everest!
00:25:21A cyclone, on a mountain, a terrifying combination
00:25:25But Ella must face this storm head on!
00:25:32Contender and gladiator, step forward!
00:25:38Ella meet Cyclone, Cyclone meet Ella
00:25:44I think that means hello
00:25:47But it could be goodbye
00:25:49We're about to find out
00:25:52Take your positions!
00:25:55Contender
00:26:01Ready!
00:26:04Gladiator
00:26:05Ready!
00:26:083
00:26:092
00:26:101
00:26:12Cyclone looks as fierce as ever as she slams into the screen
00:26:16And Ella's gotta get some sort of traction in her legs
00:26:19Cyclone howling like a gale force wind
00:26:22And she's pushing like one too
00:26:23Ella's gonna be thrown off the edge
00:26:26There's gonna be no time for the tilt
00:26:29Blown away!
00:26:39Well Cyclone made that look as easy as pushing a trolley around the supermarket
00:26:43Straight away she put you on the back foot
00:26:48Yeah I couldn't find a footing for my feet so I couldn't stop it
00:26:52Okay Cyclone!
00:26:53Your first mistake, you said you're gonna put me in my place
00:26:56I played that in my head
00:26:58Over!
00:26:59And over!
00:27:00And over!
00:27:01And over!
00:27:02And over!
00:27:03And that's what gave me the power to get her off
00:27:06How many overs exactly?
00:27:08About 36
00:27:1036 overs, well thank goodness we've edited that
00:27:13Sadly no points
00:27:16But please put your hands together for Ella
00:27:19And Cyclone!
00:27:23Next hoping to conquer Everest
00:27:25Is Kira
00:27:29And she's up against
00:27:31Diamond!
00:27:32Diamond stands seven inches taller than Kira
00:27:35And the power generated by those legs surely makes her the favourite to stay on the mountain
00:27:47Contender and gladiator, step forward
00:27:50Step forward
00:28:00Don't be fooled by the smile Kira
00:28:03She's not up there to play nice
00:28:05Take your positions
00:28:10Contender
00:28:11Ready
00:28:15Gladiator
00:28:16Ready
00:28:17Three
00:28:21Two
00:28:22One
00:28:24Oh, they have both raced into action there
00:28:27Diamond gets the wall moving first
00:28:30Weight lifter Kira though, planted well
00:28:33She's resisting
00:28:35She's gonna stop the slide if she can
00:28:37Look at Diamond's technique using all of her body weight
00:28:40Now trying to push with the knees
00:28:42And she is making progress
00:28:44She's gonna do more though before the tilt comes
00:28:47And here it comes
00:28:49Now the odds have shifted
00:28:51They are hugely in Kira's favour
00:28:54And she's pushing hard
00:28:56Diamond's hopes are slipping away
00:28:58And she's getting ready
00:29:00To take the jump down to defeat
00:29:03Brilliant Kira
00:29:05Just fantastic
00:29:09Well, diamonds are formed under pressure
00:29:11But when it gets too much
00:29:13They can be crushed as well
00:29:14We're pushed as well
00:29:18Congratulations
00:29:20Just so happy
00:29:22I just thought hold on until we get the tilt
00:29:24And then just give it my all and just push
00:29:26Well look, you got the gladiator off
00:29:28That's ten points, congratulations
00:29:29Oh, hello Diamond
00:29:31Wow, hi
00:29:33You don't look happy
00:29:34I'm not happy, Barnes
00:29:35But well done
00:29:36Fair play
00:29:37You're a beauty
00:29:38I'm a beauty
00:29:40Looks like we're both beasts as well
00:29:42Ten points to Kira
00:29:43And of course our gladiator Diamond
00:29:46What about that?
00:29:51Give it a round of time, everyone
00:29:52A big win for Kira brings her back level with Ella
00:29:58They're on 12 points each
00:30:00OK, folks, we have a special announcement
00:30:04One of our gladiators has been injured
00:30:07And we're going to bring him out to talk about it
00:30:09Please welcome Legend
00:30:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:30:34OK, first things first
00:30:36Let me ask you, what's happened to the arm?
00:30:41Unfortunately, I've damaged my bicep tendon
00:30:45And I'm going to be out for a little while
00:30:48How are you feeling about it, Ledge?
00:30:50I'll be honest, Barnes
00:30:51I'm pretty devastated
00:30:54Devastated for you guys
00:30:58Because everyone knows
00:30:59You literally only come here to see me
00:31:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:31:06That's enough
00:31:10That's enough
00:31:12It is obviously very frustrating
00:31:15Not being able to take part in the events
00:31:17Mainly because we did testing this morning
00:31:19And even with one arm
00:31:20I'm still easily the strongest gladiator
00:31:25Thank you
00:31:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:31:35Well, his arm may not work
00:31:37But his mouth still does
00:31:39But don't worry about Barnes
00:31:41Cos he'll be back
00:31:43He will, he's not going anywhere
00:31:45You'll see him in the arena during the series
00:31:47But for now, on with the next event
00:31:49HANG TOUGH
00:31:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:31:53Playing HANG TOUGH
00:31:55For the male contenders
00:31:57Is Sean
00:31:59CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:32:01And he is swinging against
00:32:04Steele
00:32:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:32:12This is only Steele's second appearance on HANG TOUGH
00:32:14But he's in his element
00:32:16With a 100% record
00:32:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:32:22CONTENDER
00:32:24READY
00:32:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:32:28GLADIATOR
00:32:30READY
00:32:323...
00:32:342...
00:32:351...
00:32:37And they're away
00:32:39Hold on tight, everybody
00:32:40That's what Contender and Gladiator will have to do
00:32:43And remember, this game isn't just about strength
00:32:46Even though it does take an awful lot of it
00:32:49To keep on those rings and keep on swinging
00:32:52You've got to try and plop your way across
00:32:54And avoid the Gladiator
00:32:56And Sean made a bit of a mess of that very early on
00:32:59And Steele's got him again here
00:33:01Sean's got to get rid of Steele if he can
00:33:04Steele is not letting go
00:33:06He's clamping his legs around now
00:33:08And Sean's got a real problem
00:33:10One hand for Steele
00:33:12No problem at all
00:33:13Sean's lost his shoe
00:33:15That normally happens on the wall
00:33:17What he mustn't do is lose his grip
00:33:20Steele's giving him a bit of time now to compose himself
00:33:23He's not going anywhere, Sean
00:33:25He's just going to try and hang around
00:33:27Make sure he gets 5 points
00:33:29Steele's be calm
00:33:31He can't get any momentum at all
00:33:33This is looking really good for the Sean Ado
00:33:36One last grab from Steele
00:33:38But he's out of time
00:33:40Sean gets 5 points
00:33:42Look at this
00:33:44Full credit to Sean's strength and determination
00:33:47But also the stitching in his costume
00:33:49Well done wardrobe
00:33:51A quality garment
00:33:52Wow
00:33:54That was sensational
00:33:56It was so good
00:33:57I've watched this game since I was about 5 years old
00:33:59And I went in there with the mindset of what I need to do
00:34:02And I did exactly that
00:34:03But fair play, you're a big guy
00:34:05And I nearly went at one point
00:34:07I mean he's clearly put his homework in
00:34:10We both lost a little bit of momentum
00:34:11But you kept your calm
00:34:13And he did a few more seconds
00:34:14And I would have managed to have him off
00:34:15Yes
00:34:16But big up to yourself mate
00:34:17Well done
00:34:18That's Sean Ado Steele
00:34:21Next on the rings for the male contenders
00:34:24It's Hindley
00:34:27And he is taking on
00:34:29Nitro
00:34:37This is Nitro's first appearance in Hang Tough since Series 1
00:34:43And knowing this gladiator
00:34:45He'll be strictly focused on making sure he wins
00:34:50Contender
00:34:52Ready
00:34:56Gladiator
00:34:58Ready
00:35:003
00:35:022
00:35:041
00:35:06Nitro straight into his groove
00:35:08Hindley looks more uncertain
00:35:10He's staring more at the gladiator than the rings
00:35:13He's got to try and plot a path through to the other side
00:35:16If he possibly can
00:35:18Look at the smoothness in Nitro's swing
00:35:21He's edging ever closer to the contender
00:35:23Watch out Hindley
00:35:24And hang on Hindley
00:35:26He nearly went with no gladiator interference at all
00:35:29It's coming though
00:35:31And it's coming soon
00:35:33Hindley's legs doing more work than his arms
00:35:35Now it's Nitro's legs
00:35:37That are doing the business for him
00:35:39He's locked on
00:35:41All Hindley can do is try and keep the grip tight
00:35:45But I think there's only one outcome here with 18 seconds to go
00:35:49Go on Hindley, can you do it?
00:35:52No you can't
00:35:54I've got a feeling Nitro might be mum's favourite
00:35:58No one bites the dance
00:36:00And another one
00:36:02For the first time tonight Hindley looked worried
00:36:04Nitro, well he's always a happy Harry
00:36:07No one bites the dance
00:36:09I thought it was a C first swing
00:36:11And then I was hesitating straight away
00:36:14Yeah, yeah
00:36:16And I think straight away you sensed it
00:36:18We had a bit of a moment up there
00:36:20I gave him a little cuddle
00:36:21I then said
00:36:23Look, me and you together
00:36:25We're gonna fall
00:36:26One, two, three
00:36:27He came down perfectly
00:36:28I take care of my contenders
00:36:30Hindley and Nitro
00:36:32A big result for Sean there as he cuts the deficit to three points
00:36:39Hindley on 14, Sean 11
00:36:43First off for the female contenders
00:36:45Hoping to hang tough
00:36:46It's Ella
00:36:47And she is up against Fury
00:37:00Whether on the ground or in the air
00:37:02This gladiator's specialist skill is always, always tackling
00:37:06Contender, ready!
00:37:11Contender, ready!
00:37:17Gladiator, ready!
00:37:22Three, two, one!
00:37:27Can Ella get all the way across and gain ten points from hands up?
00:37:32Look at Fury's technique
00:37:33Not just about the arm strength
00:37:36You've got to use your legs as well to get swinging
00:37:39And she's doing just that
00:37:41But Ella's making good progress
00:37:43Looking really nice up there
00:37:46Fury, with a bit of a misjudgment
00:37:49And she's starting to swing
00:37:51You could see the panic in her eyes
00:37:53And it's still there, she's out of control here
00:37:55That gives Ella a really good opportunity
00:37:57Can she make that ring?
00:37:59And keep going and make the platform
00:38:01Fury nowhere nearer
00:38:03Oh, Ella could have dropped, I'm sure
00:38:06But she didn't want to take that gamble
00:38:07And now Fury is back in defensive position
00:38:10Might be time for Ella to have a rethink
00:38:13She's got a bit of a wobble going on there
00:38:15Just stay in that red zone, Ella
00:38:17Never mind the ten points
00:38:19Take the five for hanging tough
00:38:21Five seconds to go
00:38:23Fury's not going to get nearer now
00:38:25Ella's done half the job
00:38:27But it is a very good job, well done
00:38:30Look at how close Ella was to taking maximum points
00:38:36The full win was literally at her fingertips
00:38:40Fury, what happened there?
00:38:43That was a disaster on my end
00:38:45It's a shame because we're both rugby players
00:38:46I feel like we could have had a good battle
00:38:49And if we made contact
00:38:51It would have been a big contact
00:38:53It's just one of them things, isn't it?
00:38:55Well look, you're in the red zone, that's five points
00:39:00Next to take on the rings
00:39:02It's Kira
00:39:03And she is hoping to avoid dynamite
00:39:16Our youngest gladiator has never been beaten on hang tough
00:39:19Kira needs to brace herself for dynamite
00:39:22It's boom or bust
00:39:23Contender, ready!
00:39:26Contender, ready!
00:39:28Gladiator, ready!
00:39:32Gladiator, ready!
00:39:343, 2, 1
00:39:373, 2, 1
00:39:39So how do you end an undefeated record held by a gladiator?
00:39:46That's the task in front of Kira
00:39:49Dynamite sets off with a plan firmly in place in her mind already
00:39:54The first timer on hang tough Kira
00:39:57It's a whole lot more difficult
00:39:59She's doing well enough so far
00:40:02Always mindful that dynamite is getting closer
00:40:05And listen to the crowd
00:40:08They can sense it as well
00:40:10They know what's coming
00:40:12Kira managing somehow to stay just out of reach
00:40:15There's enough time left
00:40:17But I'm getting an increasing feeling
00:40:19This is getting a bit desperate for dynamite
00:40:22She just cannot get herself latched on
00:40:26And gets a warning from the referee
00:40:29You can't kick, you've just got to try and lock on
00:40:32And bring the contender down
00:40:33And that's surely what's about to happen here
00:40:36Dynamite has slipped though
00:40:38Dynamite has gone
00:40:40And Kira holds on for 5 huge points
00:40:44A gladiator gracious in defeat
00:40:47A contender who can't believe it
00:40:50Well, Dynamite just simply slipped away
00:40:54Her only prize, a pair of shoes
00:40:58I could feel her starting to slip
00:40:59Just give a wiggle and hopefully she'll fall
00:41:02Give a wiggle, that's a good tactic
00:41:04You slipped off
00:41:06You hung on red zone
00:41:085 points
00:41:09Kira
00:41:13Both contenders hung tough to claim 5 points
00:41:16Which means they're still level pegging
00:41:18It's 17 all
00:41:20For this next bit you need power, speed and agility
00:41:24Really? It's just reading autocue, it ain't that hard
00:41:27No, I meant the next event
00:41:29This is Powerball
00:41:31Good agility, proud of your son
00:41:33Powerball
00:41:37Playing Powerball for the male contenders
00:41:39It's Sean
00:41:41And Hindley
00:41:45And they will be taking on
00:41:47Bionic, Steel and Apollo
00:41:49The Apollo
00:41:52Here they come, all together
00:41:59We've already seen Bionic and Steel tonight
00:42:01But look at these stats for our Greek God
00:42:04He's a good boy, a really good boy
00:42:09Contenders, ready!
00:42:15Gladiators, ready!
00:42:17Ready!
00:42:223
00:42:242
00:42:251
00:42:27Oh, I do enjoy Powerball
00:42:29It's always mayhem, it's always manic from the start
00:42:32There goes Hindley running round the edge
00:42:34He does know he's gotta pick up balls and put them in the pots, doesn't he?
00:42:37He's not got far with that one, mind you
00:42:39Sean grabs a red ball and goes for the throw
00:42:42That's a great tackle
00:42:44Stopped in his tracks by Steel
00:42:45Hindley gives Apollo the slip
00:42:48But he still hasn't got any points on the board
00:42:50And the same goes for Sean
00:42:52Great defensive work by the Gladiators
00:42:55It's all getting a little bit anxious now for the contenders
00:42:58Sean with another throw that misses
00:43:01Bionic never misses
00:43:03Are either of them gonna get a ball in a pod at any point here?
00:43:07Sean tries to shimmy his way through
00:43:08And you can see his disappointment at being foiled again
00:43:13Hindley stops once more
00:43:15Sean, arms moving, oh he's got one
00:43:18Two points for Sean, well played
00:43:20Persistence pays off for him
00:43:23I think Hindley's had it
00:43:25One last run but he's out of time
00:43:27And the game's up
00:43:281990s contender Murray sees son Sean take a 2-0 win
00:43:34A lesson to us all here
00:43:37If at first you don't succeed, try try again
00:43:40And then try again
00:43:42And again
00:43:44And again
00:43:46You like a bit of contact
00:43:48I thought this would have been a bit of you
00:43:49But the Gladiators are tricky, aren't they?
00:43:50Exactly, I feel like the two of them were definitely both marking me
00:43:53And they're on me all the time
00:43:54But yeah, one of those things
00:43:56How did you feel coming into this event?
00:43:58I knew it was gonna be tough
00:44:00I tried my best and that's all I can do
00:44:02Sean, you got one ball in which means two points to you
00:44:05Unfortunately, no points to you Hindley
00:44:07But congratulations to both Sean and Hindley
00:44:08Oh
00:44:28Sorry, but we're all doing it
00:44:30With that score Sean has narrowed the gap
00:44:33After four events he's on 13 points
00:44:35Hindley 14
00:44:36Playing Powerball
00:44:38It's our female contenders
00:44:40Ella
00:44:42And Kira
00:44:46But standing in their way are
00:44:49Diamond, Fire and Dynamite
00:44:57Strength, speed and of course power
00:45:00The trio you don't want to see before playing Powerball
00:45:03Contenders
00:45:08Ready!
00:45:10Gladiators
00:45:14Ready!
00:45:20Three, two, one
00:45:23Ella grabs the red ball and goes
00:45:25Kira does the same with the blue and scores with her first attempt
00:45:29That's a brilliant start for her
00:45:32Ella, oh superb dodging
00:45:34She got past Fire so easily and scored
00:45:37As Diamond gets to grips with Kira
00:45:40Now Ella starting for the middle pod and she's got it
00:45:43Three points for Ella, that's Magnificent
00:45:46Ella tries to go again but he's shackled by Diamond
00:45:49The order comes to release and the contenders go back for another ball each
00:45:54Kira tries to get through, Ella does get through and scores
00:45:58But there is a problem on the other side, Diamond is hurt
00:46:02Well the medical team are coming to the gladiators aid now
00:46:14And there's real concern right around the arena
00:46:20Diamond getting help back to her feet and getting great support from everyone
00:46:24It's good to see her managing a smile
00:46:32Well that was looking like a perfect game of Powerball but as we know anything can happen
00:46:38And whilst Diamond is getting treatment, we'll head back to hear from Mark Clattenburg
00:46:42Yeah, unfortunately due to Diamond's injury, the game has ended
00:46:46Uh-huh, okay
00:46:48And as we look at the scores, Ella has seven points
00:46:51And Kira has two points
00:46:57Girls?
00:46:59Uh, our girl Diamond, she's gonna be okay
00:47:02She's so, so strong and we're with her every step of the way as well
00:47:06Well said, thank you very much
00:47:08Fire and Dynamite everybody
00:47:12Wishing Diamond a very speedy recovery
00:47:14So with one event left to go before the Eliminator, Ella's on 24, Kira 19
00:47:21Next up, it's The Wall
00:47:23Yes, and as we all know, when it comes to The Wall
00:47:27Legend is the absolute best
00:47:30He is the GOAT
00:47:32Never forget, Legend is more than just a gladiator
00:47:34He's a born leader
00:47:36He carries the entire team on his shoulders
00:47:38And what muscular shoulders they are
00:47:40Are you?
00:47:43Who's written that?
00:47:45Just do your job
00:47:47Read the, just read it
00:47:50He's a cloud
00:47:52It's The Wall
00:47:54The Wall
00:47:56Climbing the wall for the male contenders
00:47:58In red, it is Sean
00:48:03And in blue, it's Hindley
00:48:08And hunting them down are
00:48:11Nitro and Apollo
00:48:13Let's go, the sky
00:48:16Let's go, the sky
00:48:18Let's go, the sky
00:48:20Now here comes a dangerous duo
00:48:23Rapid and absolutely fearless
00:48:30Nitro talks the talk
00:48:32Apollo, well he's on another level
00:48:33Contenders, ready!
00:48:40Gladiators, ready!
00:48:44Gladiators, ready!
00:48:48Contenders, you will go on my first whistle
00:48:51Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle
00:48:54Three, two, one
00:48:57A quick sprint to the wall and now the climb begins
00:49:00And Hindley found his feet very quickly
00:49:03He is charging up there
00:49:05Apollo nearly got him with his first leap
00:49:07And now Nitro sets off
00:49:09He gave Sean a head start
00:49:10But it hasn't lasted long
00:49:12Hindley meanwhile is nearly at the top
00:49:15Apollo struggling a bit to catch him
00:49:17Nitro's got a hold of Sean
00:49:19But only Sean's shoe
00:49:21And both contenders climb over the top
00:49:24Great climbing from both
00:49:27Apollo had one last desperate grab
00:49:29But didn't make any contact with Hindley
00:49:31Nitro thought he had Sean
00:49:33But was left looking sheepish
00:49:35It was a very close race
00:49:37But I gotta say
00:49:39Hindley, you made it up just before
00:49:41So it's ten points to you
00:49:43And Sean is five points to you
00:49:45That is Hindley and Sean
00:49:46And Sean is five points to you
00:49:47That is Hindley and Sean
00:49:51Nitro
00:49:53I saw you grab the sock
00:49:54He's been working hard today
00:49:55Look at this
00:49:56Yeah
00:49:57I know
00:50:01Look at me
00:50:02I think we should just leave them to
00:50:14Whatever this is
00:50:15And take a look at the final score
00:50:18What a battle these two have had all evening
00:50:21And they're headed to the eliminator
00:50:22With Hindley on 24
00:50:24Sean on 18
00:50:27On the wall for the female contenders
00:50:29In red, it's Ella
00:50:33Climbing away from Sabre
00:50:38And in blue, it's Kira
00:50:41Hoping to get away from Comet
00:50:49Comet loves Arm Day
00:50:51And it's that sort of training that leaves her opponents
00:50:54Starry-eyed
00:50:58Contenders
00:51:00Ready
00:51:02Contenders
00:51:03You will go on my first whistle
00:51:08Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle
00:51:123, 2, 1
00:51:13Ella and Kira hit the wall together
00:51:23And now here come the gladiators
00:51:25Sabre leaps on like the cat she is
00:51:28And look at Comet climbing well from the start
00:51:31Ella's going really well on the left hand side in the red
00:51:33It takes some good going to get away from Sabre like that
00:51:38Oh a slip and a stumble from Kira
00:51:41Ella meanwhile is going to do it
00:51:43She's over the top
00:51:45She's claimed the victory
00:51:47And there are going to be points for Kira as well
00:51:48And overriding win for contenders against gladiators on the wall tonight
00:51:59The glads didn't get a look in
00:52:01Ella you made us the top first so that's 10 points for you
00:52:05And Kira that is 5 points for you
00:52:08That's Ella and Kira
00:52:10Thank you all the fans on the floor here with the gladiators
00:52:13I've literally broken a nail doing this this time
00:52:17I know it's so costly isn't it
00:52:19Yeah
00:52:20It's tough being a gladiator isn't it
00:52:23That's it my our thanks to
00:52:25Oh we're doing a pose
00:52:27Okay that's Comet, Sabre and myself
00:52:32Looking good Brad I'm sure GQ will be on the phone
00:52:36Erm soon
00:52:38At the Pride events Ella's on 34 and Kira's on 24
00:52:41And as we head into the Eliminator
00:52:43That 10 point lead converts to a 5 seconds head start
00:52:46So it'll be a battle for Kira to catch Army Doctor Ella
00:52:51The Eliminator
00:52:55Contenders ready!
00:52:59Ella you will go on my first whistle
00:53:02Kira you will go on my second whistle
00:53:043, 2, 1
00:53:07That'll mark's first whistle Ella is away
00:53:10Looking to make the absolute best of the advantage that she has
00:53:14And now it's Kira's turn
00:53:165 seconds is quite a lot to make up
00:53:18Especially with Ella already at the top of the rope climb
00:53:23And onto the overhead ladders
00:53:25And she may be even further in the lead soon
00:53:28Because Kira's having a real struggle with the rope
00:53:30She's got there now
00:53:32But look at the catching up she has to do
00:53:35Ella swings across towards the cargo net
00:53:38And steadies herself before a really solid jump
00:53:41And then the climb can begin
00:53:42Where's Kira?
00:53:44She's been having awful problems unclipping the trapeze
00:53:47She's only just done it and swings across now
00:53:50But she's going to have to climb with everything that she's got
00:53:54Ella is already just about at the top
00:53:58This has been a tremendous run so far for the Army Doctor
00:54:01Just showing a few signs now of tiring as she travels down the zip wire
00:54:08And a heavy landing
00:54:10She still has a really healthy lead though
00:54:13As she gets set to tackle the all-new much more difficult balance beam
00:54:18Oh! Nearly went!
00:54:19Has to make sure she touches the red sections there in the middle
00:54:23Then one at the end
00:54:25It's where it can all fall apart but it hasn't done for Ella
00:54:28Kira is now hot on her tail
00:54:30Which means that Ella absolutely must get up that travelator first time
00:54:36Here she goes, legs pumping, she's going to do it
00:54:40She's managed it with ease
00:54:42And it is a win for Ella, Ella, Ella
00:54:44Now all eyes back on Kira as she tries to complete the Eliminator as quickly as she can
00:54:52Nearly went off the side
00:54:54But her eyes are now focused on the top
00:54:56And she will swing through to finish
00:55:01What about that?
00:55:04What about that indeed?
00:55:06A faultless Eliminator run from Ella
00:55:09And we'll see her again in the quarter-finals
00:55:15Kira, you said inside the beauty there's a beast
00:55:18And you certainly proved that tonight
00:55:20Yeah, I just gave everything I had really
00:55:23Yeah
00:55:24And yeah, I loved every minute of it
00:55:26So it's been an amazing day
00:55:28Well, you have been an exceptional contender
00:55:30That's Kira, everyone!
00:55:34Ella, I've got to tell you
00:55:36You're in the quarter-finals!
00:55:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:55:41Congratulations, all your family and friends are here, of course
00:55:43Anyone you want to mention, obviously?
00:55:45Yeah, my girlfriend was on deployment
00:55:47So she couldn't make it today
00:55:49But she will be able to make it to the next round
00:55:50So I did it for her
00:55:52Yeah, good for you, alright
00:55:54That's it, you're through to the quarter-finals
00:55:56Our thanks to Ella and Kira!
00:56:00Go and see your families
00:56:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:56:05So we have our female quarter-finalist
00:56:07Now it's time to find out who'll go through
00:56:09From our male contenders
00:56:11Hindley is six points ahead of Sean
00:56:13Which converts to a three-second head start
00:56:15Here's Mark Klattenberg
00:56:17CONTENDERS
00:56:19READY!
00:56:22Hindley, you'll go on my first whistle
00:56:24Sean, you'll go on my second whistle
00:56:27Three...
00:56:28Two...
00:56:29One...
00:56:31Three seconds isn't much at all
00:56:33And that's probably why Hindley has hurled himself
00:56:36Over the first optical in his way
00:56:38Sean will soon be right up there with him
00:56:41It's a good climb, that, from Hindley
00:56:43Ooh, a little bit stuck at the top
00:56:45Look at the gap now, it's not three seconds anymore
00:56:47Hindley's got to fly
00:56:49And he misses the last rung of the overhead ladder
00:56:53That's got Sean even closer
00:56:55A few problems on clipping for Hindley as well
00:56:57He can't afford any more mistakes now
00:57:00Ooh, big mistake from Sean
00:57:02He leapt for the net
00:57:04And the way that he was swaying after Hindley got on it
00:57:07It made it more difficult and he nearly missed it altogether
00:57:10It's a good climb now though and it really is close this
00:57:13It's an eliminator that could be decided by the thickness of the paper finish
00:57:19Hindley's up first and races across to the zip wire
00:57:22He's breathing heavily
00:57:24But he looks really determined still and full of confidence
00:57:28And that was smooth
00:57:30Sean has a bit of momentum, he bounces off the mat
00:57:32He's not far behind
00:57:34Hindley being very, very careful
00:57:36First part of the balance beam
00:57:38Ticked off
00:57:40Sean has slipped, Sean's gonna have to start again
00:57:42That could make all the difference here
00:57:44Hindley has a free run first time at the Travelator
00:57:46Oh but he's all over the place
00:57:49Absolutely all over
00:57:51Arms and legs were not in sync
00:57:53And down he goes
00:57:55And here comes Sean
00:57:57For the first time in the eliminator
00:57:59He takes the lead
00:58:01And he takes on the Travelator
00:58:03But all of the power is gone
00:58:05The shornado extinguished
00:58:08Now it's head to head
00:58:10The baker against the aeroplane maker
00:58:12Who will rise?
00:58:13Who will fly?
00:58:15It's Hindley
00:58:17What a race that was
00:58:20Unbelievable!
00:58:23Absolutely amazing
00:58:26Hindley claws his way through in a nail biting eliminator
00:58:30Phew, I need a cup of tea after that
00:58:33And maybe one of his cakes
00:58:34That was so tight
00:58:39Absolutely
00:58:41You are exhorting, correct?
00:58:43It's very overwhelming
00:58:45I'm absolutely gutted to be honest
00:58:47But I hope I make the fastest winner up
00:58:49And our Smash Writers next
00:58:51Absolutely
00:58:53Give it up everyone for Sean
00:58:55Hindley
00:58:57You are through
00:58:59To the quarter final of Gladiators
00:59:01I feel so good
00:59:05Absolutely ecstatic
00:59:07Have you got any words for your mum over there?
00:59:09I just want to say
00:59:10Thank you very much for travelling down
00:59:12And another round to go
00:59:14Another round to go says Hindley is our quarter finalist
00:59:18Round of applause for Hindley and Sean
00:59:20Go and see your family's colours
00:59:21What a night, an incredible performance
00:59:23Hey, it's such a joy to watch someone at the very peak of their talent
00:59:25Thanks Barnes, but we really should focus on the contenders mate
00:59:27I know
00:59:29Yeah, I'll remember that in the future
00:59:30See you next time on Gladiators
00:59:34Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
00:59:37Do you have the will and the skill?
00:59:40Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be open?
00:59:42It's not for beginners
00:59:43Get down in your soul
00:59:45Are you a Gladiator?
00:59:46Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
