00:09Do you feel the power of the gladiators?
00:15Do you have the will and the skill?
00:20Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:25Get back for beginners, get down in your flow
00:31Are you a creator?
00:59Are you a gladiator?
01:05Sheffield, the time has come.
01:08This is the grand final of gladiators.
01:13Please welcome your hosts, Bradley and Barney Walsh.
01:30Well, hello and welcome to the grand final of gladiators.
01:37Come on.
01:38Yes, we have our four finalists who are all hoping to lift the gladiators trophy.
01:43The question is, are they ready?
01:49Sheffield, are you ready?
01:51Yes!
01:56Let's meet the female finalists hoping for gladiators glory.
02:01It's Naomi and Emily.
02:20At the start of the series, ten female contenders took on the gladiators and each other in the ultimate competition.
02:27Now only two remain, as Naomi and Emily compete for the title of gladiators champion 2026.
02:3540-year-old Naomi is a business consultant and hockey player who's also mum to two gladiators superfans.
02:42Competing in gladiators isn't just a personal goal.
02:46She entered the arena to make her family proud.
02:49Naomi won her heaps, gaining maximum points on the edge.
02:53You've got ten points for Naomi, everybody!
02:55In the quarters, Naomi was victorious on crash scores.
02:59Ten points!
03:00And raced her way to victory.
03:02I just think so, I can't believe it.
03:03In her semi, Naomi became the first contender to win on suspension bridge.
03:07Naomi, you're absolutely brutal.
03:09She eliminated Ella to secure a place in the final.
03:12You watch the show with your kids.
03:14And now their mum's in the final of gladiators!
03:16And Naomi's opponent in the grand final is 23-year-old sales consultant Emily.
03:22A Cambridge graduate with a flair for languages, Emily's an avid rugby player.
03:27But she stepped out of a team environment and her comfort zone to take on the gladiators by herself.
03:33In an impressive heat, she became the first contender to last 30 seconds on duel with Cyclone.
03:39If you make it to the quarters, I'll be there.
03:41In the quarters, she took on Cyclone again and blew her away in Unleashed.
03:46I'm so glad I got this flag!
03:48Emily finished second in the Eliminator, but her time of 81 seconds was more than enough to see her into
03:54the semis as the fastest runner-up.
03:57In her semi, she conquered Everest again, beating Sabre.
04:01You're undefeated!
04:02I love this new game!
04:03She took a five-and-a-half-second lead for the Eliminator and never looked like losing it as she
04:08stormed through into the final.
04:12Emily, you are a gladiators finalist!
04:16It's business consultant Naomi versus sales consultant Emily for the title of Gladiators Champion 2026.
04:25Welcome, Naomi.
04:30Let me tell you and everyone else, you are the oldest female finalist in Gladiators.
04:35So that is unbelievable.
04:37Seriously, that is extraordinary.
04:40It just goes to prove, don't give up because of your age or any other barrier in your way.
04:44Just push through it and keep going and see what happens.
04:48Lastly, can you win Gladiators?
04:51Starting to believe I can!
04:52Yes!
04:54Good luck!
04:55Give it up for Naomi!
05:00Emily, welcome back.
05:01You're on the final of Gladiators!
05:03I don't believe it!
05:07How do you feel?
05:08Are you nervous?
05:08Are you excited?
05:09All of the above is a once-in-a-lifem experience and I'm very grateful to be here.
05:13And look, I've got to say, you're the youngest female contender ever to make it to the final of the
05:18show.
05:19How do you feel about that?
05:20Honestly, it's absolutely amazing.
05:22As some of you may know, I started this process when I was 22, but it's actually my 23rd birthday
05:27today.
05:28It's her birthday today, everyone!
05:32My last question to you is, can you be the Gladiators champion?
05:36I reckon I can.
05:37It's time to find out.
05:38Good luck!
05:39That is Naomi and Emily!
05:41There we have our female finalists, and they're now ready to take on their first event.
05:54As if this event couldn't get any harder for the grand final, contenders have lost a second from their head
06:00start.
06:01They'll now have just two seconds before the Gladiators unleashed.
06:04Take in to the track for the female contenders.
06:07It's Emily!
06:14Contender, you will go on my whistle.
06:17And then the Gladiator will be unleashed.
06:21Contender, ready!
06:25Emily's got every right to be confident, having beaten Cyclone in the quarters.
06:30But look who's coming.
06:31It's the fastest female Gladiator, Fire, who is in hot pursuit.
06:36Emily crashes through the wall as if it was barely there.
06:40And she's round the bend to take on the steps.
06:43Fire getting closer.
06:44Fire getting oh so close.
06:46But Emily's going to do it!
06:48She takes the flag.
06:50And maximum points.
06:54Fire was gaining on the steps, but Emily had enough in the tank to claim another unleashed maximum.
07:01Let's go!
07:03Oh my gosh!
07:04Thank goodness!
07:06Oh, I'm so glad I have this beautiful flag!
07:10It was so close.
07:12Fire, great contender, really quick.
07:13Absolute pocket rocket.
07:15She is small, but she is speedy.
07:17Thank you to Emily and Fire!
07:25Ready to run for the female contenders.
07:28It's Naomi!
07:34Contender, you will go on my whistle.
07:36And then the Gladiator will be unleashed.
07:41Contender, ready!
07:45It's Naomi's first time on the unleashed track.
07:49And it's Electro who storms out after her.
07:52It's the first time that Naomi's gone head to head against her.
07:55But look at the distance she's got in front.
07:57The wall doesn't stop her.
07:59The bend doesn't stop her.
08:01She's going to charge up the steps.
08:03And Electro is not even in the picture.
08:06Naomi flies through for a comfortable tent.
08:17Wow, what a start from Naomi.
08:19She powered her way through that.
08:21No stopping her.
08:24So quick up against Electro.
08:25How do you feel?
08:26I didn't want to give off that.
08:27I was worried about that.
08:28But obviously, I think I can run.
08:30But this really shows whether you can or not.
08:32And I'm really pleased with myself, honestly.
08:34Yeah, I bet.
08:34You look like you was fired out of a cannon halfway around the track there.
08:37Electro.
08:38Great sprinter, I've got to say.
08:39She is a great sprinter.
08:40You know what I'm thinking though, Brad?
08:42What?
08:42We'll get you a little white helmet and get you on this game.
08:46I'm not.
08:46No, I'm not doing it.
08:49No, no, no.
08:53Well, we've not seen this before.
08:57Contender, ready!
08:58A very different kind of chase for Bradley.
09:03Off he goes then.
09:04And immediately bends the rules by going off the track.
09:08Not sure about that style.
09:09One step at a time.
09:11Oh, he's getting quicker.
09:12But overtaken by Electro.
09:14And he bails out.
09:16Well, wasn't that just all entirely predictable?
09:24I've got to be honest.
09:25I've got to put that hat on.
09:27And this hair cost me nearly six grand.
09:29But Naomi, ten points everyone!
09:33Brilliant!
09:36What a start for our female contenders.
09:39Both on ten points after their first event.
09:45Please make some noise for our male finalists.
09:49Tyler and Josh!
10:02We started with ten male contenders entering the gladiators arena.
10:07Now only two remain.
10:10And tonight, Tyler and Josh will fight it out to be crowned gladiators champion 2026.
10:1730-year-old Tyler is a computer science teacher who swapped the classroom for the arena to compete in the
10:22gladiators heats.
10:24There he won on Destruction, Gauntlet and the Eliminator, smashing his way through to a place in the quarter-finals.
10:33In the quarters, he won Destruction again, beating Nitro.
10:37Told you, third time, lucky.
10:39But despite a six-second head start, he was beaten in the Eliminator.
10:44I had nothing else to give.
10:46Tyler thought his gladiators' journey was over, but he returned in the semis as the fastest runner-up when Moe
10:52had to retire through injury.
10:53And went on to beat Finn in the Eliminator in 69 seconds, the fastest time of any contender this series.
11:00You're in the final, our grand finalists!
11:04And taking on Tyler in the grand final is 27-year-old sales manager Josh.
11:09Josh was on track to graduate as a Royal Marine Commando, but had to step back from his military career
11:14to care for his terminally ill mum.
11:16And later became guardian to younger brother Max.
11:19He never let his army fitness slide, though, and has now put that training to use as a gladiators' contender.
11:26In his heat, Josh defeated Viper in duel.
11:30And legend on the edge.
11:32You spelled generational hero wrong.
11:34But lost out to Finn in the Eliminator.
11:37Back he came, though, into the quarter-finals to replace the injured Mark.
11:41And this time won his Eliminator.
11:44And he's overwhelmed. Got another opportunity. Let's go. Let's smash it.
11:47In the semi, Josh smashed collision.
11:49You know you're doing something right when Mark Clattenburg says excellent mid-game.
11:52And overtook Sean at his four-second head start to win the Eliminator and secure his place in the final.
12:00Combat head is here.
12:01Teacher Tyler and sales manager Josh go head-to-head.
12:05But only one can take the title.
12:07A gladiators' champion 2026.
12:12Great to see you, Tyler. Welcome back, mate.
12:15You know what? You're in the final.
12:18Come on!
12:21What about that? What's your experience on gladiators' been like?
12:25Well, I could sum it up perfectly.
12:26It's a bit like the big one at Blackpool.
12:28Up and down, there's been some highs and some lows.
12:30But do you know what? I wouldn't change the experience for the world.
12:32It's been fantastic.
12:33Brilliant. Good for you, mate.
12:35Any messages at all for the people at home or, indeed, the kids at school?
12:40If you want to do something, do it.
12:42Don't let anyone tell you you can't, because what's the worst that can happen?
12:45Absolutely. Couldn't agree more.
12:46And can you win this competition?
12:48I'm in the final, Brad.
12:49Why not? Let's go.
12:50Let's go!
12:51Wish you well, man.
12:52It's Tyler, everyone.
12:53Great job.
12:54Josh, welcome back.
12:56You're in the final of gladiators.
12:57And I've got you, I feel!
13:01What's your gladiators' experience been like?
13:03You couldn't have up my story.
13:04I feel blessed to be here.
13:05I feel privileged.
13:06I'm excited to take on the gladiators, take on the games.
13:09Got a mum looking down on me.
13:11I've got my support group up there.
13:12And I'm absolutely blessed to be here.
13:13Your brother, Max, he couldn't be here tonight, could he?
13:16No, unfortunately not.
13:17I was face-telling him yesterday.
13:18He was gutted he couldn't be here, but he's with me in here.
13:21Well, actually, we've got a very special message for you.
13:23Let's take a look at that now.
13:24Hi, Josh.
13:25It's your best bro here.
13:26You're doing me and the family.
13:27Very, very proud.
13:28Go out there and smash it.
13:29And good luck.
13:31Lovely message from Josh's brother, Max, there.
13:33Anything to say back to Max?
13:34He's going to watch his big brother on the final of gladiators.
13:37And your big brother's going to win it?
13:39Yes!
13:41Well, let's see it happen.
13:42Sheffield shows some love for Tyler and Josh.
13:45Our male finalists are raring to go.
13:48They're heading into their first event.
13:50On me.
13:53In position on the track for the male contenders.
13:57It's Tyler!
14:04Contender, you will go on my whistle.
14:06And then the gladiator will be unleashed.
14:10Contender, ready!
14:17Off goes Tyler.
14:19Just a two-second head start.
14:21And oh, look at Nitro.
14:23He has burst out of the tunnel.
14:25Even by his standards, that is impressive.
14:29A little stumble from Tyler.
14:31And Nitro takes the tag.
14:33Well, in his heat, Tyler got around the course in a super-quick time.
14:39This time he couldn't get around the final bend.
14:42Nitro can't half-move.
14:46Well, Tyler might have thought he'd got through the wall unscathed, but that stumble cost him any chance at all.
14:53I set off, I had a pretty good start.
14:55But we got to the wall and I could see him behind me.
14:58I'm sick of seeing him.
14:59So I've got to raise the game just like they have.
15:01Yeah, absolutely.
15:02Okay.
15:04Nitro.
15:05I've never won that unleash so far.
15:09Sadly, no point in time.
15:11We're going to miss it then.
15:12That is Nitro and Tyler.
15:17Okay, so on the track for the very first time, it is Josh.
15:28Contender, you will go on my whistle.
15:31And then the gladiator will be unleashed.
15:35Contender, ready!
15:42Well, Josh is quick.
15:44And we've heard that Josh is very confident.
15:46And it'll need to be both those things with Phantom tearing after him.
15:50But look at Josh go.
15:52How about the wall?
15:53Oh, what wall!
15:54Straight through it.
15:56And onto the steps already.
15:58Phantom only just getting around the final bend.
16:01Josh with two arms in the air.
16:03And a flag in his hand.
16:05He celebrates 10 points.
16:09Josh was so quickly off the mark.
16:12And then a perfect leap for the flag.
16:14And the perfect start.
16:16Congratulations.
16:17Massive 10-pointer there.
16:18Oh, yeah, I know.
16:19I've been looking forward to doing this event since I signed up.
16:22So, turned up winning matters.
16:23Let's go!
16:24Yeah, absolutely.
16:26Josh, you are so fast, man.
16:28Thank you to Josh and our gladiator Phantom.
16:34If Phantom says you're fast, you're fast.
16:37Josh races into the lead.
16:38After one event, he's on 10 points.
16:40Tyler yet to score.
16:42Our next event requires tactical thinking and intelligence.
16:46I'll be good at that.
16:47And you also need to be super fit.
16:48Spoke too soon.
16:49It's our next event.
16:52Destruction.
16:54Moon.
16:54Activating.
16:56Three.
16:57Two.
16:58One.
17:08Destruction.
17:09Playing destruction for the female finalists.
17:12It's in red, it's Naomi.
17:15And in blue, it's Emily.
17:20And they are going to be taking on Cyclone.
17:27Cyclone's record on destruction is Plague 1-1-1, destroyed everything.
17:32Watch out, there's a storm coming.
17:38Contenders, ready!
17:48Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
17:52Gladiator, you will go on my second whistle.
17:55Three, two, one.
17:59It's Emily in blue, storming through barrier one, followed by Naomi in red.
18:04And here comes Cyclone, straight away hammering away at barrier number two.
18:09Emily trying to get through.
18:11She hasn't scored any points in two previous codes of destruction.
18:15And I think Cyclone's in the lead here.
18:17She's already taking on barrier number three.
18:20The contenders aren't far behind, and there is nothing between those two.
18:24The question is, can they get the speed and the power to overtake Cyclone?
18:30She's faced with her final barrier now.
18:32But so are the contenders.
18:34Naomi bounces off with a stagger.
18:37This is so close.
18:39They could all get through together.
18:41Cyclone does get through.
18:42Oh, who got the button first?
18:44It might have been Cyclone.
18:46It might have been Naomi.
18:48Has that slight hesitation cost Cyclone?
18:56Naomi was last through barrier one, but caught up and reached the button at the same time as Cyclone.
19:02It's the closest finish to destruction we've ever seen.
19:06What a battle that was!
19:08We have the results.
19:09Yep.
19:10The winner of destruction is Cyclone.
19:14Whoa!
19:17So, as Naomi was in second place, I can award her five points.
19:24Thank you very much indeed.
19:26It looked like you made your way through the wall, and all of a sudden Cyclone realised you were there
19:30and thought, hang on, I'd better go for this.
19:32Yeah, I was surprised to see it.
19:33I thought she was already through, to be honest.
19:34We've got the moment here.
19:35Let's have a look at this.
19:37Oh, that was so close!
19:41I did not see her coming at all, but fair play to Naomi.
19:45I knew she'd be bossed this game, so I knew I had to be on my A-game as well.
19:50Well, an incredible gladiator, unbeaten on destruction the entire series.
19:55That is Cyclone!
20:00Cyclone undefeated, but a great effort from Naomi sees her smash into the lead.
20:05It's 15-10.
20:07Playing destruction for the male finalists in red.
20:10It's Tyler.
20:13And in blue, it is Josh.
20:17And they are smashing against Giants!
20:21Well, he'll be fired up for this.
20:24Back in the heat, Tyler beat Giant in destruction, so the big man will be out for revenge tonight.
20:39Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
20:46Well, gladiator, you will go on my second whistle.
20:50Go, Tyler!
20:51Three, two, one!
20:54Tyler in the red, racing into action, and it's a good start from Josh as well.
21:00No surprise that Giant is through barrier one with ease.
21:04Tyler has played 2-1-2 in destruction.
21:07Maximum point for him in this event.
21:09Josh, well, he hasn't got any points from it previously.
21:12Giant attacks barrier three.
21:14Tyler's there as well.
21:16It's neck and neck between them.
21:18Josh still with work to do to catch up.
21:21Giant hauls himself up and over barrier number three.
21:25And look at Tyler.
21:26He's doing the same.
21:28This is going to be mightily close.
21:30Oh, a stagger.
21:31That took it out of Giants and Tyler.
21:35Number four takes some shifting,
21:36and it's allowing Josh the chance to catch up, baby.
21:40They're all giving it everything.
21:42And Tyler's found a hole.
21:44And he dives through for ten points.
21:47Can Josh get five?
21:48He just might, you know.
21:50He has.
21:51He beats Giant to the button.
21:53Those points could be big for Josh.
21:56This is incredible.
21:58The first time that both contenders have beaten the gladiator
22:02to score points on destruction.
22:04What a grand final this is so far.
22:07You've played destruction three times now,
22:09and every time you've got ten points.
22:11Yeah, this is...
22:13I'm king of destruction.
22:15Next year when you want someone to do it,
22:17give me a call.
22:19Josh, it's the first time you've scored on destruction.
22:22This is Tyler's game.
22:23No one's got him on this.
22:24For me, five points was aim.
22:26Five points is what I got.
22:28Fourth ball.
22:29What went wrong there?
22:31I feel like they reinforced it, Brad.
22:32I just want Tyler to come here a sec.
22:35Come and sit next to me.
22:39This.
22:40This image.
22:41This is what gladiator is all about.
22:43David versus Goliath.
22:45I want to give him all the respect in the world.
22:47Both these guys deserve it.
22:48Oh, what a lovely thing to say.
22:50Thank you so much, Giant.
22:52Tyler and Josh.
22:56Both contenders pick up points
22:59as Tyler eats into Josh's advantage,
23:01but the Scotsman still leads 15-10.
23:04In our next event,
23:06the finalists need bravery, courage, and...
23:09A chiropractor.
23:11It's Gauntlet.
23:13Gauntlet.
23:15Taking on the Gauntlet
23:17for the female contenders.
23:19It's Naomi.
23:23And she is up against the power of
23:26Comet, Electro, Fire, Dynamite,
23:29and Cyclone.
23:40What a ferocious line-up for a final.
23:45Never mind Nick Carter.
23:47Fire's out to crush both contenders tonight.
23:51On her 15th appearance in this event,
23:53you'd have to say Electro is a Gauntlet specialist.
23:56She'll be looking for a contender shutdown.
24:01A formidable opponent.
24:02A mighty gladiator.
24:04But catch up on a roast?
24:06Wrong.
24:06Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
24:13Contender, ready!
24:18Gladiators, ready!
24:22Three, two, one!
24:25Only 15 seconds for contenders in the final.
24:28And Naomi takes a big hit from Electro.
24:31She's done well to recover so quickly.
24:33Now faced by Dynamite,
24:35but she's got a round
24:36and she's into the final zone.
24:37And she's got Pat Cyclone!
24:40And gets the job done!
24:42Oh, that was really impressive.
24:45Naomi's first ever runner gauntlet.
24:48Magnificent!
24:50That was epic to watch.
24:52You completed it with three seconds left.
24:55Wow.
24:56That is amazing.
24:58Yeah, I've never run the gauntlet
24:59and it's one of those childhood 90s games
25:02that I was like,
25:02I want to do that one,
25:03I want to do that one.
25:04Yeah.
25:04It's tough, but it's so fun.
25:06You absolutely smashed that,
25:07gave it your all
25:08and it paid off
25:09because that's 10 points!
25:11Next to run the gauntlet,
25:12it's Emily!
25:18Contender, ready!
25:23Gladiators, ready!
25:27Three, two, one!
25:30The reduced time was not a problem for Naomi.
25:32How about Emily?
25:34It's a really impressive start.
25:36She's already into zone three
25:38and not there for long.
25:39She's past fire.
25:40She's past Dynamite
25:41and takes on Cyclone
25:42and gets under for the full point.
25:46No fear, Emily,
25:48powering headfirst into every gladiator.
25:51What a way to run the gauntlet.
25:54First time you've played this?
25:55Yeah, absolutely.
25:56First time for me.
25:57Looking forward to it as a rugby girl.
25:58If you want to get full sense,
26:00great fun.
26:01Fuck!
26:01What sort of a contender have we got here?
26:03Oh, honestly,
26:04Emily is the kind of contender
26:06that we dream about
26:07going up against, to be honest.
26:09Because not only she's tiny,
26:11she's powerful,
26:12she represents a lot.
26:13That was a tough gauntlet for you,
26:14so well done.
26:16Emily,
26:17everyone,
26:17and the gladiators,
26:18thank you so much.
26:19The finalists bringing out
26:21our contenders' A-Games.
26:22Maximum points again for both
26:24means Naomi's on 25 points,
26:27Emily 20.
26:28Taking on the gauntlet
26:29for the male finalists,
26:31it's Tyler.
26:34And he'll be facing these five.
26:37Hammer,
26:37Steel,
26:38Viper,
26:38Phantom,
26:39and Apollo.
26:41It's raining men,
26:43Hallelujah,
26:45it's raining men,
26:47I don't know about raining men.
26:50It's going to start raining blows
26:51in a minute.
26:53Phantom's got a degree
26:54in history and economics.
26:56He'll be looking to make
26:57contenders' history here.
27:00Hallelujah,
27:01it's raining men,
27:03because it's best on me.
27:05Covering his chocolate in chilli.
27:07No wonder Viper's always in a bad mood.
27:09He's not sweet enough.
27:15Hammer would like to be a lion.
27:18Well, he's halfway there.
27:19He's got a killer instinct
27:20and a massive hairy mane.
27:26Contender,
27:28ready!
27:32Gladiators,
27:33ready!
27:36Three,
27:37two,
27:38one!
27:39Five gladiators,
27:4015 seconds.
27:41In the heats,
27:42Tyler completed gauntlet in 10.
27:44And look at him go.
27:46Limey is nearly through already.
27:48Only Apollo can stop him.
27:50Well,
27:51he did what he could,
27:52but he couldn't do enough.
27:5410 points,
27:54Tyler.
27:57Rugby playing Tyler
27:58showed the gladiators
28:00who was boss.
28:02Easily converting his try
28:03into a win.
28:06Just seeing you go through there,
28:08it was just like a knife through butter.
28:09The first three zones
28:10just slipped the gladiators.
28:11Yeah,
28:11yeah,
28:11love it.
28:12Love the physicality.
28:13So,
28:14yeah,
28:14pleased with that one.
28:15Guys,
28:16have we seen a better gauntlet
28:17than that?
28:18What a run!
28:20Yeah.
28:20I'll tell you,
28:21he is the best to come down the gauntlet,
28:23there is no doubt about it.
28:25You can get a handshake.
28:26Unbelievable,
28:27my man.
28:29Massive 10 points to Tyler!
28:34Next to run the gauntlet,
28:35it's Josh!
28:41Contender,
28:42ready!
28:47Gladiators,
28:48ready!
28:50Three,
28:51two,
28:53one!
28:54It's Josh's first time
28:55on gauntlet,
28:56and he felt the force of hammer
28:58straight away.
28:59No problem from Steel
29:00or Viper.
29:01Phantom holds him up,
29:02he has to let go though,
29:04and it's a dive past Apollo
29:06through to the finish
29:07for ecstatic Josh.
29:09An early hammer blow
29:11could have spelled the end
29:12for some contenders,
29:13but not Josh.
29:14That was an incredible performance.
29:18You've never played this before?
29:19Not,
29:20never played it,
29:20I've been looking forward to it.
29:22Well,
29:22let me tell you,
29:23just over 10 seconds on that,
29:25that was pretty quick mate,
29:26I've got to say,
29:26what a wonderful run.
29:29Viper,
29:29any words?
29:33I've got to say,
29:45check to see how many fingers you've got there.
29:49Great performance,
29:50Josh.
29:5110 points!
29:55These contenders
29:56are leaving it all out there tonight.
29:58Maximum points for the men
29:59sees Josh remain ahead by five.
30:02He leads Tyler,
30:0325 points to 20.
30:05Hey,
30:06Dad,
30:06how are you heights?
30:07You know me,
30:07Barnes,
30:08can't stand them.
30:09I once got a nosebleed
30:10standing on a footstool.
30:11Right,
30:12well,
30:12unfortunately,
30:12our finalists don't have that luxury.
30:14This is
30:15The Edge!
30:21Contender and Gladiator
30:23are about to face off
30:24on this formidable steel structure,
30:26suspended 30 feet above the arena floor.
30:29One slip up,
30:30one wrong move,
30:31and it's a devastating drop down to defeat.
30:34Can they conquer it,
30:35or will they be cast off The Edge?
30:42On The Edge for the female contenders,
30:44it's Naomi!
30:48And she's hoping to avoid,
30:50she loves it up there,
30:51it's Sabre!
30:57Sabre's a specialist on The Edge,
30:59so Naomi will have to find
31:01some extra bite at height
31:02to take on this cunning cat.
31:08Contender,
31:08ready!
31:14Gladiator,
31:15ready!
31:19Three,
31:20two,
31:21one!
31:22No fear,
31:23Naomi,
31:24scored maximum points
31:25on The Edge in the Heats,
31:26and look at that,
31:27no problem right from the start.
31:30A puff of air
31:31to celebrate Naomi's achievements,
31:3330 feet in the air.
31:35Oh,
31:35and a bit of game play
31:36with Sabre
31:37beckoning her
31:37to come on to her.
31:39Sabre does that,
31:40Naomi wriggled free,
31:41but she didn't get far away.
31:43What a contest this is!
31:45Naomi doing her own version
31:46of the worm up there.
31:47I just wonder whether Sabre
31:49might regret that opportunity
31:51to finish this off.
31:52She seemed to back away.
31:54She's enjoying herself, though,
31:55and engages again now,
31:57and takes on Naomi.
31:58It's a strong tackle,
32:00and down they go!
32:07Naomi's attack on Sabre
32:09was a brave move,
32:10maybe foolish.
32:11She only scored two points,
32:13but it was
32:14a decent effort.
32:16That was actual
32:18cat and mouse.
32:19What was going through your mind?
32:21I think, um,
32:21credit to Sabre,
32:22she covered the space
32:23really well,
32:23and they just have to look
32:24really big.
32:24Okay, uh,
32:25you love it out there,
32:26don't you?
32:26Yeah, I do, um,
32:28and I just want to tell you,
32:29you're the woman
32:30that we all need
32:31to look up to
32:31when we're little.
32:35And I hope your girls
32:37have had a great time here,
32:38and you're a wonderful contender.
32:40That's a lovely thing
32:41to say, Sabre.
32:42That is a wonderful
32:43thing to say.
32:45Big round of applause,
32:46Naomi,
32:46and of course,
32:47Sabre.
32:48Brilliant.
32:50Next up on the edge,
32:52she scored maximum points
32:54in the heats.
32:55It's Emily.
32:57It's the opening round,
32:58yeah!
33:00But tonight,
33:02she is up against
33:03Fury!
33:08There's nothing fishy
33:09about Fury's record
33:11on the edge.
33:12when it comes to tackling,
33:13she's up there
33:14with the best.
33:20Contender,
33:21ready!
33:25Gladiator,
33:26ready!
33:30three,
33:31two,
33:32one!
33:33It was a maximum
33:34for Emily,
33:35last time she was
33:36on the edge,
33:36and she's really
33:37sure-footed
33:38as she gets past Fury
33:40for her first score,
33:41and Fury nearly fell through.
33:43Emily's flying up there,
33:45and she's going to get across
33:46for another two points.
33:47She's on the six.
33:48This is mightily impressive
33:50from Emily.
33:51Fury goes the right way
33:52this time,
33:53and engages,
33:54but it's the Gladiator
33:55who falls.
33:58Fury into the net.
34:00This is huge for Emily.
34:02She's going to get
34:02the maximum ten.
34:04There it is,
34:05and that means
34:05she goes into the lead.
34:07She hasn't heard the
34:08Klaxon.
34:08She wants to continue,
34:10but it's not going to get
34:11her any more points.
34:12Ten it is,
34:13but ten?
34:14Oh, that'll do.
34:16A role reversal
34:18as Contender
34:19attacked Gladiator.
34:20Fury forced off.
34:22It's Emily's
34:22second maximum
34:23on this event.
34:27Great job on the edge,
34:28Emily.
34:29I honestly can't believe it.
34:30Like,
34:31this is not my game for me.
34:32I don't like heights,
34:33but to go out there
34:34and do that again
34:34is an unreal feeling.
34:36Well, look,
34:37that's a massive ten points
34:38to you.
34:38Congratulations.
34:39That is Emily.
34:42Another maximum haul
34:44sees Emily edge ahead.
34:46She leads Naomi
34:46by 30 points to 27.
34:49Hello.
34:50All right, Guy.
34:50Legend,
34:51what are you doing here?
34:52Firstly,
34:53that's rude.
34:54Secondly,
34:54I've heard your commentary
34:55downstairs,
34:55and it's even worse
34:56than normal,
34:57so I'm going to give you
34:58a hand.
34:58I don't get this
34:59from Alan Shearer.
35:00Who?
35:01I literally have to do
35:02everything around here.
35:03Tyrone,
35:04such a rubbish contender.
35:05His name's Tyler,
35:07and it's his debut
35:08on the edge,
35:08and he'll be trying
35:09to avoid the mighty steel.
35:11Six foot.
35:12That's a lie.
35:13He's five foot seven,
35:14and his favorite show
35:14is Friends.
35:15That's ironic,
35:16because he hasn't got any.
35:17Over to Mark Klattenberg.
35:18He hasn't got any friends either.
35:20Contender,
35:21ready!
35:25Gladiator,
35:26ready!
35:30Three,
35:31two,
35:32one!
35:34Tyler's first time
35:35taking on the edge.
35:37Steel lets him cross
35:38easily for the first
35:39two points.
35:40He didn't mean it
35:41to be that easy
35:41for the next crossing,
35:42though.
35:43We knew Tyler was fast.
35:45We didn't know he was fast
35:4630 feet up in the air
35:48as well.
35:49Steel now has him.
35:50Steel is going to
35:51pull him down.
35:52That's where it ends
35:53for Tyler.
35:55Six points on the board.
36:00Another terrific effort
36:01from teacher Tyler,
36:02but Steel's
36:03top of the class today.
36:05Your first time
36:06on the edge?
36:07Oh, this is the one
36:07I've wanted to do
36:08from the very beginning,
36:09so I thoroughly
36:10enjoyed that one.
36:11Yeah, absolutely.
36:12Steel.
36:13I knew he was going
36:13to be absolutely amazing
36:14this game.
36:14He's a great contender.
36:16I managed to get
36:16in the right position,
36:17and he just put his head
36:18down and tried to run
36:19headfirst into me,
36:20and I was like,
36:21I've never had that
36:21before.
36:23Six points to Tyler.
36:28Next on the edge,
36:29it's Josh.
36:32And he is up against
36:34Apollo.
36:35Oh, wow, Apollo.
36:37What's wrong with Apollo?
36:38He looks like an estate
36:39agent.
36:40Oh, okay.
36:40Nothing about the edge,
36:41then?
36:42Yeah, he's all right
36:42at the edge, to be fair.
36:43Probably the second best
36:44gladiator after me.
36:46And his mum's definitely
36:48made that sign.
36:49Contender,
36:50ready!
36:54Gladiator,
36:55ready!
36:58Three,
37:00two,
37:01one!
37:02Josh is off and running
37:03straight down the side.
37:05In his heat,
37:06Josh scored a maximum
37:07ten on the edge.
37:09Trying to throw
37:10Apollo off there,
37:11glancing this way
37:11and that.
37:12Oh, it's worked!
37:13Look at that
37:14for a change of direction.
37:15Too quick for the
37:16gladiator.
37:17And he's looking
37:18speedy,
37:18he wants more.
37:19Oh, Apollo's gone!
37:21Quickly followed
37:22by Josh!
37:24Hang on,
37:25are you eating crisps?
37:26Good job, guy.
37:28Well, I am trying,
37:29just like Josh,
37:30who's got himself
37:31four points.
37:32More like no point
37:33in me being here.
37:34I'm going home.
37:35Fair enough.
37:37Short but sweet.
37:38See you later, loser.
37:40Bye, legend.
37:42Always a pleasure.
37:43So close,
37:44but a great four points.
37:45Are you pleased?
37:46Yeah, that's my favourite game.
37:47I absolutely love it up there.
37:49He came past me with some speed.
37:50I thought I could slip him
37:51and get the full ten there,
37:52but happy with the four.
37:53So much fun.
37:54All right,
37:54let's talk to Apollo.
37:55Apollo, great from you.
37:57You said it, Barney.
37:59I'm always going to play
38:00the game the same way.
38:01All gas,
38:02no breaks,
38:03always going to go for it.
38:03Try and give you guys
38:04a good show.
38:05That's what I'm about,
38:06and I love it up there.
38:08Thank you to Josh
38:09and Apollo.
38:14Well, that was a weird dream.
38:16Tyler now edging closer to Josh.
38:18He's on 26 points,
38:20Josh on 29.
38:21No grand final would be complete
38:23without one of the most iconic
38:24Gladiators events of all time.
38:26Not off.
38:27Pugil sticks at the ready.
38:30It is time for...
38:32Duel!
38:33Duel.
38:36Playing duel
38:38for the female finalists.
38:40It's Naomi!
38:45And she'll be taking on a Gladiator
38:47who's been cheered on
38:48all series by her fans,
38:50also known as her Tiny Mites.
38:52Sheffield, go wild for Dynamite!
39:03From ten duels,
39:04Dynamite has two draws
39:06and eight wins.
39:07She's never been beaten.
39:09Has Naomi got what it takes?
39:13Contender,
39:14ready!
39:19Gladiator,
39:20ready!
39:24En garde!
39:333, 2, 1!
39:36Right on the whistle,
39:37they both swing together.
39:39Dynamite's going at this
39:40hard and fast.
39:41Oh, a little topple there
39:42from Naomi.
39:44She didn't use the podium
39:45for balance, though.
39:46She's okay.
39:47And she's giving it all she's got.
39:49Dynamite now,
39:49they're getting on top.
39:51And this time,
39:52the whistle does go.
39:53She's overbalanced.
39:55She's out of there.
39:58Dynamite delivering
39:59some devastating blows
40:01and once the balance
40:02has gone like that,
40:03it's game over.
40:04Let me ask you, Naomi,
40:06what was going through your mind
40:07other than a great big fluffy lullapop?
40:09In my heat.
40:10And I was knocked off
40:11in the first blow,
40:12so it was just,
40:13stay longer than that.
40:15Great performance from you.
40:16That was carnage,
40:17the whole fight,
40:18but it was a proper fight.
40:19Yeah.
40:20And I love it.
40:21Like, she's really put us
40:22gladiators to the test.
40:23Well done.
40:23Thank you so much.
40:25Put your hands together,
40:26Naomi,
40:26and of course,
40:27Dynamite.
40:30Next on Jewel,
40:32it's Emily.
40:35And Emily is taking on
40:38Sabre.
40:41In two appearances on Jewel,
40:44Emily's lost one
40:44and drawn one.
40:46Sabre's undefeated
40:47on the podium.
40:48Can Emily make it
40:49third time lucky?
40:50Or will the cat
40:51get the cream once more?
40:55Contender ready!
41:01Gladiator ready!
41:05En garde!
41:143, 2, 1!
41:18Sabre's so strong at Jewel
41:20and she's started really well.
41:22Emily's forced into pure
41:23defence right now.
41:25She's just managed
41:25a couple of blows of her own,
41:27then a jab.
41:27But look at Sabre
41:29going to work.
41:30There's a reason
41:31she's undefeated up there.
41:33Emily's making her work.
41:34Oh, Sabre nearly went.
41:35Sabre has gone
41:37for the first time.
41:40Knocked off the Jewel podium.
41:43That's incredible.
41:45Could Emily be dancing
41:47her way to the Gladiator's crown?
41:53Sabre had a strong start,
41:55but Emily absorbed
41:56every blow
41:57and ultimately
41:58toppled the Tigress.
42:03Oh, wow!
42:05That was epic!
42:07I cannot believe
42:08that that just happened.
42:09Like,
42:10cannot believe that.
42:11She gave some massive hits
42:12I could see her doing
42:12the double tap.
42:13I thought,
42:14I'll give that right back.
42:15And saw that wobble
42:16and just sort of
42:16tried to capture that
42:17from the same side.
42:17Yeah.
42:18And the way she flew.
42:19Oh, Sabre,
42:20talk to me about that.
42:21I'm fuming!
42:27But what I will say is
42:28the reason Emily is here
42:31is because she is strong.
42:33Yeah.
42:33And she's not afraid
42:34to bring it.
42:35You know that moment
42:36in a video game
42:37when you get right
42:38to the end
42:38of the big boss
42:39and you don't know
42:39if you're going to beat them?
42:40Well, she's only gone
42:41and done it.
42:42She's only gone
42:44and done it indeed.
42:45That is 10 points to you.
42:47Congratulations.
42:48Thank you to Emily
42:49and, of course,
42:50Sabre.
42:53Oh, how big is that result?
42:55Emily's opened up
42:56a 13-point lead.
42:57She finishes on 40
42:59with Naomi on 27.
43:01That could be crucial
43:02in the eliminator.
43:04On the dual podium
43:05for the male finalists,
43:07it's Tyler.
43:11And he is facing
43:13Hammer!
43:24Just look at the difference
43:26in stats here.
43:27Tyler giving up
43:28a whole foot in height
43:29and 36 kilos
43:30in weight advantage.
43:32This might be
43:33this teacher's
43:34biggest ever exam.
43:39Contender, ready!
43:44Gladiator, ready!
43:49En garde!
43:58Three, two, one!
44:02Tyler was beaten
44:03by Nitro
44:04in his heat on dual
44:05and he's been beaten
44:06by Hammer
44:07already in the final.
44:09Blink and you missed it.
44:15Well, they say
44:15every second counts
44:16but there weren't
44:17any seconds
44:18two counts in that game.
44:19A decisive win
44:21for Hammer!
44:22You lasted three seconds.
44:24Better than none.
44:25Look at the size
44:26of the ball.
44:27He's taller than me
44:27kneeling down so,
44:29you know.
44:29Sadly, no points
44:30for you, Tyler.
44:32Hammer,
44:32anything to say?
44:34Sheffield,
44:35what time is it?
44:36Hammer!
44:41Come time!
44:44Come time!
44:45Put your hands
44:47to go to Hammer
44:47and Tyler!
44:50Good night!
44:52Next up on the dual
44:53podium
44:54is Josh.
44:59And he's up against
45:01Nitro!
45:03Nitro!
45:07Here he is,
45:08the energy man
45:09to close the show
45:10for the Gladiators.
45:11let's see if Nitro
45:13can deliver
45:13a fast finish
45:14to Josh.
45:19Contender,
45:20ready!
45:24Gladiator,
45:25ready!
45:28En garde!
45:383, 2, 1!
45:41Josh knows
45:42he's going to have
45:42to give this
45:43his very,
45:44very best.
45:45But all the contenders
45:46have done that
45:47all night long.
45:48Nitro getting
45:49into action now.
45:51Swinging and hitting,
45:52but Josh standing firm.
45:54Oh, Nitro nearly
45:55lost his balance
45:56and nearly again
45:57the other way.
45:57Oh, what a battle
45:59this is!
46:00A proper duel
46:01to end the evening
46:02and that is where
46:04Josh's duel
46:05comes to an end.
46:06A victory for Nitro!
46:14Josh put up
46:15a good fight,
46:15but when Nitro's
46:16firing at all cylinders,
46:18hitting the mat
46:19must be sweet relief.
46:21We've looked at the video,
46:22we looked at
46:23an issue
46:24with a pugil stick
46:25of the Gladiator
46:26which touched
46:27the platform
46:28of the contender,
46:29but we believe
46:30it wasn't for balance.
46:31This is okay
46:32within the rules
46:33and therefore
46:34we can award
46:35Josh
46:36no points.
46:40Certainly no points.
46:41Yeah, I think
46:42I'll have to review
46:42that footage myself
46:43later on,
46:44but we'll take it
46:45out on the chin
46:45and we'll go on.
46:46Nitro is undefeated
46:47on this event.
46:48For a reason.
46:49It feels like
46:49you're getting hit
46:50with our truck
46:50honestly.
46:51But look,
46:51Nitro at the end
46:52of the day
46:52still undefeated.
46:53Still undefeated
46:54which is obviously
46:55a great feeling
46:56but look,
46:56we're in the final
46:57and I can say
46:59this guy,
47:00he's come with
47:01such energy
47:02and he's come
47:03so focused today
47:04to actually do a job.
47:06He knew what
47:06he wanted to do up there
47:07so everyone
47:07let's hear it for him.
47:08Come on.
47:10That is Josh
47:11and Nitro!
47:18So we have
47:19our final scores
47:21for the men
47:21and they're unchanged
47:22with Josh leading
47:23Tyler 29 to 26
47:25and taking a slender
47:27advantage into
47:27the Eliminator.
47:30After the highs,
47:32lows,
47:32pain and glory
47:33it all comes down
47:34to this.
47:36It is
47:36the ultimate
47:37end game
47:38and whoever wins
47:40will be crowned
47:41our Gladiators
47:42champion.
47:43Sheffield,
47:44buckle up.
47:44It's time for
47:46The Eliminator!
47:48The Eliminator!
47:51As we head
47:52into The Eliminator
47:53any lead
47:53is converted
47:54into a head start
47:55each point's
47:56worth half a second
47:57so Emily begins
47:58with a six and a half
47:59second advantage
48:00in the grand
48:01final Eliminator.
48:05To be crowned
48:06Gladiators champion
48:09Contenders
48:10ready!
48:14Emily,
48:15you will go
48:15on my first whistle.
48:17Naomi,
48:17you will go
48:18on my second whistle.
48:20Three,
48:21two,
48:22one!
48:23Away goes Emily.
48:25Naomi was
48:26faster than her
48:27in the semifinals
48:28but Emily's
48:29quarterfinal time
48:30of 81 seconds
48:31is faster than
48:33Naomi has ever run.
48:34This could be
48:36epic!
48:37Emily holds
48:38herself up
48:39to the platform
48:39having climbed
48:41up the rope
48:41but look at that
48:42the gap's closing
48:43already.
48:43here comes
48:44Naomi!
48:46Emily doesn't
48:46need to look
48:47back.
48:48She will sense
48:49that her rival
48:50is nearby.
48:51An effortless
48:52swing across
48:53under the cargo
48:54net
48:54and this is
48:55where it could
48:56really close up.
48:58It's all about
48:58the climb.
49:00Look at the way
49:01that net is wobbling
49:02for both contenders
49:04and I'm sure
49:05their nerves
49:05are jangling
49:06as well.
49:07They've got to
49:08keep the power
49:08in those arms
49:09and legs.
49:10Emily's still
49:11going to have
49:11a slender lead
49:13as she gets
49:13to the top.
49:14Oh goodness
49:15me,
49:16this is close.
49:17They're going
49:18to swing down
49:18the zip wire
49:19almost together
49:20before they
49:21take on
49:22the dastardly
49:23balanced beam
49:24which has done
49:25for many
49:26an eliminator
49:27lead of this
49:28series.
49:29Emily looks
49:30concentrated,
49:31focused and
49:32most importantly
49:32balanced
49:33and she's
49:34raced across
49:35the beam.
49:36Naomi's wobbling
49:37no one has
49:38come unstuck.
49:38She's going
49:39to start again.
49:40Here goes Emily.
49:41She's never
49:42got off the
49:42travelator
49:43first time
49:44but when it
49:45matters most
49:46of all
49:46she gets there
49:48and is
49:49our female
49:50gladiators
49:51champion.
49:53Naomi's still
49:54got her pride
49:55to race up
49:56that travelator
49:57for all
49:57and she does
49:59it and says
50:00thank you

50:02Aurelia
50:03and Naomi

50:07runner up.
50:12Naomi did
50:13so well
50:14to catch up
50:15with Emily
50:15on the cargo
50:16net but the
50:16balance beam
50:17was her downfall
50:18whilst Emily
50:19beat the
50:20travelator
50:21first time
50:21for the first
50:22time ever
50:22and she's

53:17he sets off first
53:19and he's got to make sure he stays in that position
53:22it won't be easy
53:23Tyler is the fastest across the eliminator all series
53:27at just 69 seconds
53:29well they both made short work of the overhead ladders
53:32in one movement
53:34Josh swings across and leaps onto the cargo net
53:36but look at Tyler
53:38he's overtaken him
53:39oh that was wonderful
53:41what a move that was
53:42from the teacher from Wigan
53:44he's taken full advantage of Josh getting himself into a tangle
53:48and he's struggling to get out of that mess
53:51climbing well now
53:52but not as well as Tyler
53:53who gets to the top first
53:55as with the female contenders
53:57this is shaping up to be a fittingly close eliminator to finish with
54:02it's going to be Tyler versus the beam first
54:05that slip won't do much for his confidence
54:07all normal that wobble
54:09Josh overtakes him but he's gone
54:11Josh goes back to the start
54:13and Tyler will have to do the same
54:15ordered back by Mark Cranberg
54:18he didn't finish the beam
54:20oh take three for Josh
54:22take three for Tyler
54:23the beam is doing its worst
54:26calm down contenders

54:38and wins
54:39that was for you Max
