Short filmTranscript
00:00Do you feel the power of the gladiators? Do you have the will and the skill? Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
00:26It's meant for beginners to get down in your soul. Are you a creator?
00:56Merry Christmas and welcome to Gladiators Celebrity Special!
01:11Sheffield Arena, make some noise for your ho-ho hosts, Bradley and Barney Walsh!
01:18Merry Christmas and welcome to Gladiators!
01:27Hello Sheffield!
01:33Oh, wow, what a crowd.
01:37We are back for a very special episode of...
01:40Gladiators!
01:42Yeah.
01:44Tonight, we have four famous faces taking on the Gladiators
01:47for a chance to be crowned our celebrity champion.
01:51But are they prepared to get whacked on the head
01:53with a massive lollipop?
01:55Let's not keep them waiting any longer
01:56and meet the first of tonight's star contenders.
02:01I'm Salon Thompson.
02:02I'm from London, and I've done too much,
02:05but I would say I'm on the podcaster.
02:08The only thing that I can correlate to doing something like this
02:10is the UNICEF Challenge,
02:11where I ran from London to Manchester,
02:14260 miles in five days.
02:17That was different, because in your mind,
02:20you just have to go, I can't fail this.
02:22Like, I have to keep going forward,
02:23because I'm just going to let too many people down.
02:25The only person I'm going to let down on this is me.
02:28I'm 5'8".
02:29Hammer's, like, ten foot tall.
02:31Do you know what someone said to me?
02:33So I went, aim for the head.
02:34How?
02:38Tell you what, the badians better watch out,
02:40because I'm going to be up and down this corridor
02:43begging me to not go too hard on me.
02:45I'm Joe Wicks.
02:50I'm 39 years old from EPSA in Surrey.
02:53I think most people will remember me
02:55and recognise me from the P.E. with Joe workouts
02:57that I did during lockdown.
02:58Keep jumping.
02:59In all honesty, I'm living a childhood dream here.
03:01I was born in 1985, so through the 90s,
03:04this show on a Saturday night was the biggest thing on TV,
03:06and I've got so many positive memories
03:07of just sitting there watching this.
03:08To be here, taking part as a contender, is unbelievable.
03:14I can't pretend that I'm not scared.
03:15I have no idea if I can take a hit, to be honest.
03:18I've never really, like, you know, been in a fight
03:19or had a punch-up or had, like, a 20-stone bodybuilder
03:23come up with a big cotton budge, you know what I mean?
03:24I don't know what's going to happen.
03:28Please welcome Joe Wicks and Sam Thompson!
03:31Sam, welcome to the show.
03:49Say hi to Sheffield!
03:50Hello, Sheffield!
03:51Come on!
03:54Yes!
03:56Now, look, Sam, you're a sporty guy, aren't you?
03:59It's all smoke and mirrors, mate.
04:00What events do you not want to take on?
04:02The duel, it just looks so scary.
04:05I weigh about 70 kg.
04:07A gust of wind would blow me off.
04:09It's all terrified.
04:10I think, actually, I want to do the wall
04:12because I'm quite nimble, mate.
04:13Who would you want to face on the wall?
04:15Who would I want to face?
04:16Someone big, I reckon, like, Hammer.
04:18Give me Hammer on the wall
04:19because he can't be that quick on it, surely.
04:21That's fighting words from Sam, guys.
04:23Okay, if you were a gladiator,
04:25what would your name be?
04:27I'm the cockroach.
04:28You can't get rid of me.
04:32You don't know where I'm nesting
04:33and I'm just always about...
04:34I'll always return.
04:37You can't stab me out, baby!
04:40Not even the hammer can get me!
04:43Ladies and gentlemen, it's the cockroach!
04:48Welcome, welcome to the show and into your arena.
04:50Joe, please introduce yourself to Sheffield.
04:53I'm Joe Wicks, 39 years old,
04:56and I'm a fitness coach from Epsom!
04:58Come on!
05:00Now, you got the nation through the pandemic.
05:03Talk us through that, come on.
05:04It was a difficult time,
05:05and I always say, you know,
05:06my proudest achievement in life
05:07is getting all them people, families and kids, moving.
05:10We've got to focus on exercise
05:11and looking after our mental health,
05:13so this is why I'm here, I want to inspire people.
05:14Yeah, that's exactly it.
05:16All right.
05:16Talking of families and friends,
05:19is your family here with you?
05:20I'm so excited to see my mum, my dad, my brothers.
05:23I've got my little boy Marley over there.
05:24Love you, Marley!
05:25Yes!
05:26All the families here, let's all have him.
05:28And if you were a gladiator, what would your name be?
05:30I am...
05:31Activate!
05:32Activate!
05:34OK.
05:36It's wonderful to have you on, gladiators.
05:38Have you any last words?
05:40I mean, have you ever...
05:41Have you got a message for the gladiators?
05:42I'm known as the nation's PE teacher,
05:44so today, I'm going to go out there
05:46and teach every single one of them gladiators
05:48a lesson they're never going to forget.
05:49Yes!
05:50John Licks, everybody!
05:57Well, I tell you, they've trained, they've stretched,
06:00they've practised their fighting talk,
06:02but can they take on 130 kilos of pure muscle?
06:05Good luck, celebs.
06:06The first event starts now!
06:09Duel.
06:10The first event, our male celebrity is on the dual podium.
06:14It's Sam!
06:17And he is up against Giant!
06:21Giant!
06:22Giant!
06:25Giant!
06:27How's this for a Christmas present?
06:30Giant's back!
06:31Not sure he'd fit under my tree, though.
06:33A bicep injury meant he missed most of last series,
06:36but he's here now, and stronger than ever.
06:39Giant says the celebrity he'd most like to duel against
06:42is The Rock.
06:43Sam may be more of a pebble.
06:47Sam hosts the Staying Relevant podcast.
06:50In Duel, it's more about staying upright.
06:52Over to the referee team, led by Mark Kladenberg,
06:59who, as always, is joined by Sonia McClomer and Lee Phillips.
07:04Contender, ready!
07:10Gladiator, ready!
07:12En garde!
07:26Three, two, one!
07:28A very smiley Sam has the first couple of hits at Giant,
07:33who blocks them as casually as you like
07:35before biffing Sam with the first hit of his own.
07:38Sam managed to withstand it,
07:40and he's doing really well up there.
07:42Not sure his hits are actually hurting Giant,
07:45but he might have a chance of going the distance here.
07:48Rocking backwards, but staying on the podium.
07:51Eight seconds, seven.
07:52Go on, Sam, you can do it.
07:54Giant trying to finish the job now.
07:56Sam is wobbling, and with one second to go,
08:00he's down!
08:07Two mighty blows to finish him off.
08:10Sam was cooked.
08:11Like the Christmas turkey.
08:13Flame grilled.
08:16If you'd have stayed on one second more,
08:18we had one second left,
08:20you'd have scored five points.
08:23Yes.
08:24Do you know what?
08:25It was not even the head hitting,
08:27it's the tiredness.
08:28Dude, I'm so tired.
08:30I go for like a right.
08:32It just hits like something,
08:33and he just looks at me
08:34as if, is that what you've got?
08:38He was toying with you.
08:39I know!
08:39One hundred percent.
08:41A little bit, but I'll tell you what,
08:42he's been eating his turkey, Brad.
08:43Here's some strong hits,
08:44so round of applause for Sam.
08:46Yes!
08:47Great job.
08:49Sadly, no points.
08:50Onward and upward to the next event.
08:52There is Sam, everyone.
08:53Sadly, no points.
08:54And of course,
08:55Giant!
08:56Giant!
08:57Giant!
09:03Next to duel,
09:04it is Joe!
09:05And he is going to battle with Viper!
09:11Well, it's good to see that Viper hasn't changed,
09:27and a little bit scary to see as well.
09:30I expect Viper got a lump of coal in his stocking this year,
09:33same as last year,
09:35and the year before,
09:36and the year before.
09:37And he's taking on our national treasure of a PE teacher,
09:41Joe Wicks,
09:42a.k.a. Activate.
09:45Please try not to break him, Viper.
09:49Contender,
09:50ready!
09:56Gladiator,
09:57ready!
10:02I'm gone!
10:073,
10:122,
10:141,
10:15Viper with the first hit,
10:17but did it come before the whistle?
10:19Joe is down,
10:20and Viper celebrates.
10:22But I suspect that will be looked at closely by Mark Clattenberg.
10:27You can hear what the arena thinks,
10:28as Viper hurls his gloves down,
10:31and defeated Joe.
10:322 hits from Viper to break Joe's heart.
10:38But did they come before the start?
10:42I'm seeing stars, boy!
10:44That was really hard.
10:45I was gonna...
10:46So, I just weren't ready for it.
10:48When that first thing is a side of your head,
10:49you just...
10:50Everything...
10:50Well, I felt like I was upside down.
10:52I'm going on the opposite side.
10:54Yeah, stay away from Viper.
10:55That's why I'm on the way over here.
10:56Viper went before the whistle.
10:58What does that mean?
11:01What does that mean?
11:03Therefore,
11:04I'm disqualifying you.
11:05Oh!
11:07So I can award Joe
11:08five points.
11:10Put it there, bro.
11:12You're not done.
11:13Hold it long.
11:14Honestly,
11:14I cannot believe
11:15how it did feel a bit quick,
11:16and I landed on my head as well
11:17to make it worse.
11:18Look,
11:192,
11:191,
11:20you see that?
11:20Yeah, yeah.
11:21You see,
11:21the number was still on the screen.
11:23Number one,
11:23it wasn't ready.
11:24There's your evidence.
11:24You can't deny that.
11:25Look, it's there.
11:27You're out of order, mate.
11:27You're out of order.
11:28Vipes,
11:29the footage doesn't lie.
11:31Joe Wick,
11:32you like teaching kids.
11:36I hate kids.
11:39What are yous?
11:41Anything that I'm used?
11:43What are yous?
11:44He's nice.
11:48That's an angry little man.
11:50He needs a cuddle.
11:51He does need a cuddle.
11:53Well, look.
11:54Five points to you,
11:55Joe.
11:55Put it there, mate.
11:57Vipers definitely still on the naughty list,
12:00but he's gifted Joe the lead.
12:02After the first event,
12:03he has five points.
12:04Sam yet to score.
12:05Let us meet our next pair of celebrity contenders.
12:12I'm Nicola Adams.
12:13I'm 42, from Leeds.
12:15I was the first ever women's Olympic boxing champion.
12:19I defended my title in 2016 to win gold again.
12:22Turned professional,
12:23became WBO world champion,
12:25and now I'm an actor.
12:26I retired from boxing in 2019.
12:30I still work out,
12:31still stay in shape,
12:32still like to go into the gym,
12:34you know,
12:34keep the guns looking good.
12:38I'm very strong,
12:39fast on my feet,
12:41very good hand-eye coordination.
12:44The gladiators are very professional,
12:46so I'm sure they're not scared,
12:47but once they see me perform out there,
12:50they will be.
12:52What is losing?
12:53I've never lost in my life.
12:55I'm a two-time Olympic boxing champion.
12:57I retired a few years ago,
12:59but you know what?
13:00I can still pack a punch.
13:01My name is Boag Williams.
13:08I am 39.
13:10I'm from Dublin, in Ireland,
13:12and I'm a podcaster.
13:14And I actually thought it was so funny
13:16that I was like,
13:16I'm not actually going to tell you.
13:18Nice to see you,
13:19but did you really have to kiss me
13:20in front of my...
13:21Stop!
13:22The reaction of my family
13:23when I told them I was going to be
13:24a contender in gladiators
13:25was severe jealousy.
13:28It is something we grew up watching.
13:29I loved it.
13:31My upward body strength
13:36is embarrassing.
13:38The one thing I'm really concerned about
13:40is the rope,
13:41because I can't lift myself up,
13:42because most of my weight
13:43is down the lower half of my body.
13:45I want to do well in everything.
13:47I want to compete.
13:48I want to try to win.
13:50And if I don't win,
13:51I'm just going to rob you
13:53as blind of costumes,
13:54and that'll do it all.
13:59Give a warm welcome
14:00to Nicola Adams
14:01and Vogue Williams.

14:43to the gauntlet.
14:44Oh, yeah,
14:45a bit of you, that.
14:46Yeah, yeah,
14:46I want to test
14:47the gladiators.
14:47Any gladiators

14:52I fear no one.

15:09I would like to say
15:10I'm a little bit sporty,
15:12probably not that sporty,
15:13but sporty in my own way.
15:14Do you think
15:15you can survive this?
15:16I think that I'm really good
15:18at beating Olympians,
15:19actually.
15:20That was who I beat
15:22in Bear Grylls,
15:22yeah!
15:23Yeah, you beat two Olympians
15:24in Bear Grylls.
15:25I know,
15:25and I like to collect them,
15:27so I'm looking for a third!
15:29Some fighting words here!
15:33Okay, that being said,
15:35what do you want to take on,
15:35what do you not want to take on?
15:36I'm a bit worried
15:37about the climbing wall,
15:38upper body strength
15:39not there,
15:40not mad about being chased
15:41by anyone,
15:42particularly a gladiator.
15:44Imagine doing the eliminator,
15:45like I've always,
15:46I've wanted to do that
15:47since I was eight,
15:47so yeah,
15:48all of us.
15:49Well look,
15:49you're going to do the eliminator,
15:50that's guaranteed
15:51at the end of the show.
15:52Yeah,
15:52I can't wait.
15:55Massive round of applause
15:56to Nicola and Vogue!
16:00Well those are our
16:01female celebrities,
16:02so now it's time
16:03for them
16:03to take on
16:04Duel.
16:07Oh yes,
16:08playing duel
16:09for the female celebrities,
16:10it's Nicola!
16:14And she is up against
16:16Fury!
16:28She's back
16:29and just as ferocious
16:30as ever!
16:31If Fury could be an animal,
16:37she says she'd be
16:37a koala bear
16:38because they're so friendly.
16:40Well let's see about that,
16:41shall we?
16:44Undefeated in the
16:44pro boxing ring,
16:46but will Nicola
16:46make it through
16:47gladiators without losing?
16:52Contender,
16:53ready!
16:54Gladiator,
17:00ready!
17:03En garde!
17:13Three,
17:14two,
17:15one!
17:16One-on-one combat,
17:17just how Nicola likes it,
17:18but she's not enjoying
17:19these blows from Fury
17:21and falls onto her podium,
17:23which means it's over
17:25before she even got started.
17:32With boxing gloves,
17:33the best!
17:34With a pugil stick,
17:36second best!
17:37I'd say
17:37that's a knockout!
17:40Ah, Nicola,
17:41I'm cutting for you!
17:43I am as well,
17:44I was a little bit
17:44off balance
17:45when she caught me
17:46and then that was it.
17:47Well, I guess you're
17:48used to getting hit
17:48around the head
17:49but not with a pugil stick.
17:50Yeah, no,
17:51it was very,
17:51very different
17:52but do you know what?
17:53Another Yorkshire person,
17:54you know,
17:55I don't mind,
17:55I don't mind.
17:57And not only that,
17:58I was very excited for this
17:59because you're both
18:00great British athletes
18:01at the top of your field
18:02so this was about and a half.
18:04Well,
18:04I've got to be honest,
18:05Nicola,
18:06if you told my 12-year-old self
18:08that I'm going to be
18:09on the podium
18:09with my childhood hero,
18:11I won't believe you.
18:14Yeah,
18:14yeah,
18:15and I remember,
18:18Toby or me,
18:19I was watching you
18:20at 2012 Olympics,
18:21it was so powerful,
18:22so physical.
18:23Thank you
18:24for inspiring me
18:25when I was well.
18:26Oh, wow.
18:30That is Nicola
18:31and of course
18:32our gladiator, Fury.
18:38Next on the podium,
18:39Fugil stick in hand,
18:41it's Vogue
18:42and she is taking on
18:45Sabre.
19:00On Christmas morning,
19:01Sabre likes to rip up
19:03all her paper,
19:04knock over her tree
19:05and hide in a cardboard box.
19:07All totally normal.
19:08Fugil say she has
19:10most of her weight
19:11in her lower body.
19:12Good, good.
19:13A stable base
19:14is exactly what you need
19:15to stay on that podium.
19:19Contender,
19:20ready!
19:25Gladiator,
19:26ready!
19:30En garde!
19:383, 2, 1!
19:42Vogue is a very
19:44confident contender.
19:45Sabre's going to try
19:46and knock that out of her
19:47and knock her off the podium
19:49very quickly indeed.
19:54Sabre is on Vogue.
19:56Vogue is on the floor.
19:57No gifts from Sabre,
20:05even at Christmas,
20:06she shows no mercy.
20:10Sabre, do you know what?
20:11You're a snake.
20:12You are a snake.
20:13She stood up there
20:14and she goes,
20:15I'm only going to go
20:15a little bit hard.
20:16Straight?
20:18Girl, that was only a little.
20:20That was 10% of what I got.
20:21That was straight in the face.
20:22Did anyone notice
20:25that little sly dig
20:27to the head there
20:27right before the whistle?
20:29Oh, I tell you what,
20:30I think that was
20:31right on the button.
20:32Right on the button, babe.
20:33I wouldn't do that.
20:33I'm not a cheat, okay?
20:34That last shot of mine
20:35was right on the button too,
20:36wasn't it, maybe?
20:38Can I have a go
20:39of your ears, please?
20:40Watch this.
20:43Wolverine.
20:48Better luck in the next
20:49of the end of Vogue
20:49saying no points,
20:50but Sabre, everyone,
20:51what about that?
20:52Whoa.
20:54Whilst Vogue and Sabre
20:56settle their differences
20:57outside the arena,
20:58let's take a look
20:59at the scores,
21:00which won't take long.
21:01Both contenders
21:02still working off
21:03their Christmas dinner.
21:04It's scoreless.
21:07Now, last series.
21:10One of our gladiators
21:11was left cheering on
21:12from the sidelines.
21:13But this year,
21:15he's back,
21:16fighting fit
21:16and faster than ever.
21:18Fully charged
21:18and ready to go.
21:19Sheffield, go wild
21:21for the one and only
21:22Nitro!
21:23Nitro!
21:31Go on!
21:32I'm back!
21:33Are you ready?
21:34Are you ready?
21:35Get out of here!
21:37Come on!
21:38Woo!
21:39Come on!
21:40Oh!
21:41Now, that's what I wanted
21:43for Christmas.
21:44Nitro's back
21:45and raring to go.
21:47We'll see him
21:48very soon.
21:48Oh!
21:49Oh!
21:50Oh!
21:50Oh!
21:51Oh!
21:51Oh!
21:54I think it's safe
21:55to say we're so happy
21:56that he's back.
21:57Oh, look,
21:58our celebrities
21:58are all high flyers
22:00in their chosen field.
22:01So are the gladiators.
22:02And when you're
22:03at the top of your game,
22:04you have much further
22:04to fall.
22:05A bit like our next event.
22:07It's...
22:08Collision!
22:08Collision!
22:10Collision!
22:13Playing collision
22:15for the male contenders,
22:16it's Sam!
22:20And he needs to avoid
22:22Phantom and Apollo!
22:27Never one to ghost
22:28the competition?
22:29Phantom is set
22:30for a full-on collision
22:32with our celebrity contenders.
22:35Apollo's favourite
22:36Christmas film
22:36is Elf.
22:37He's no
22:38cotton-headed
22:39ninny-muggins
22:40and facing him
22:41might be bad
22:41for our celebrities.
22:43Elf.
22:45And opposite them
22:46will be these two.
22:50Bionic wants
22:51human emotions.
22:52Well, he's programmed
22:53to win,
22:54so I'm sure
22:54he'll unwrap
22:55some euphoria
22:56very soon.
22:58Steel firmly believes
22:59that Die Hard
23:00is a Christmas movie.
23:02Now there's a debate.
23:03Another time, maybe.
23:04He's got work to do.
23:06Contender, ready!
23:13Gladiators, ready!
23:18Three, two, one.
23:21OK, Sam, what have you got?
23:23Because I think we know
23:24what you're going to get.
23:26He's providing his own
23:27soundtrack as he tries
23:28to dodge the swinging
23:29gladiators.
23:30Puts the brakes on nicely
23:31and goes again.
23:33Mark Klanberg will have
23:34a word and tell him
23:35to keep moving,
23:36but he has at least
23:37made his first score.
23:38Two points on the board
23:39for Sam.
23:41Well, he does call himself
23:42a cockroach,
23:43so crawling is
23:43one way across.
23:46If they steal nicely there
23:47and gets in
23:48for another two points,
23:50Sam's getting the hang
23:51of this now.
23:52Or maybe he's too confident.
23:54There's a shout of move
23:55from the ref
23:55and the showboating
23:57didn't last much longer.
23:59You don't do that
24:00to gladiators
24:01and get away with it.
24:02Down you go, Sam.
24:04Down you go.
24:07Is that you?
24:08A gutsy run from Sam,
24:13but once he got
24:14the one, two, three
24:15from Bionic,
24:16his legs wouldn't
24:17compute anymore.
24:19That was class.
24:20That was so much fun.
24:22Wow.
24:23He's enormous.
24:24They're all enormous.
24:25They're all enormous.
24:27I've got to say as well,
24:28one of you was hanging there.
24:30I was just looking at you
24:31in the eyes going,
24:32I don't know what to do.
24:33He's so big.
24:34I really panicked
24:35to be knocked off the bridge
24:37by someone like you, mate.
24:38Weirdly, it's a pleasure.
24:38I think that's
24:41the first time
24:42a contender's ever said that.
24:43Bionic, you were the one
24:44that got him off.
24:45He launched himself at me
24:47like he wanted a cuddle.
24:48And I've never seen anyone
24:50so happy on collision
24:52in my entire life.
24:54We've got a cuddle
24:54in the end, didn't we?
24:55We've got a cuddle
24:56in the end.
24:57Oh, look,
24:57that's four points for Sam.
24:59Next to face collision.
25:09It's Joe.
25:14Contender, ready.
25:20Gladiators, ready.
25:22Three, two, one.
25:28Now, I don't know about you,
25:29but I'm expecting Joe
25:31to be really nimble
25:32across the collision bridge.
25:34And he's nicely past
25:35the first two gladiators
25:36trying to knock him
25:38down to the floor.
25:39Phantom's knocked the ball
25:40from his hands
25:40so he can't score
25:41with that one.
25:42Has to take a fresh red ball
25:44and go back the other way.
25:46Impressive swerving from Joe
25:48who's got really good
25:49core strength
25:50with that wobbly bridge
25:51beneath him.
25:52He throws that ball
25:53into the net
25:54for his first two points.
25:56Now Joe seems to be
25:57getting the hang of it,
25:58but he's in a spin here.
25:59Almost knocked off.
26:01Phantom swings and misses.
26:03Joe gets in
26:04to make it four.
26:05Now, how many more
26:06could he score?
26:08He's given Phantom
26:09the slip again,
26:10but then a bit of a stumble
26:11from Joe.
26:12He's trying to make
26:13the best of it
26:14by crawling his way
26:15underneath the gladiators
26:16swinging feet.
26:17Look at Sonja
26:18giving him some
26:18real encouragement.
26:20Oh, Joe's dropped
26:21the ball again.
26:22He'll have to go
26:23across the bridge
26:24and I don't think
26:25he's going to have
26:25any time to score
26:26any more points.
26:28No, the game is up.
26:29Joe is left stranded
26:30on six.
26:32But a great effort
26:33to at least
26:34stay the course.
26:37He took blows
26:38from Bionic.
26:39He had brushes
26:40with steel.
26:41He was dropping
26:42the ball.
26:43It was all happening
26:44for Joe.
26:45That's exhausting.
26:48So much harder than it looks.
26:49Yeah, so much harder than it looks.
26:51Three balls in,
26:52six points.
26:53Brilliant stuff.
26:54Yeah, I'll take it.
26:55I'll take it.
26:55I'll take it.
26:55Yeah, no, absolutely.
26:56It's good stuff.
26:57Good contender.
26:59Absolutely.
26:59I'm going to crown him
27:00as not-so-average Joe.
27:03Well, I've got to say as well,
27:04how good is it that?
27:05We are back.
27:07Well done, Joe, everyone.
27:08Go on up for Joe.
27:09After two events,
27:12Joe activates a seven-point lead.
27:15He's on 11,
27:16while Sam has four.
27:19Look at this side.
27:21What?
27:22This is better than I've ever seen.
27:23This is sick, mate.
27:24Oh, my eyes, Kate.
27:25Who's this?
27:25Steel.
27:26Yeah, they're approved.
27:28Have some of them.
27:28Don't go through.
27:29I want to see you.
27:30Stick one in their outfits,
27:31and see if you feel that
27:32a proper video.
27:32I'll put Giants on.
27:33Yeah, I'll put Giants on.
27:35It's going to be loose, isn't it?
27:36Yeah, it's fine.
27:37Yeah, go straight through.
27:39That's it.
27:40I'll keep an eye on him.
27:42If he comes in,
27:42I'm going to smash him.
27:44Oh, Matt,
27:44it's a little baggy on the crotch.
27:47Do I look like Giant?
27:48You look good,
27:49but you need to pump the chest up, mate.
27:50You need more of a divot,
27:51you need more of a dent in the chest.
27:53There we go.
27:53That's it.
27:53The thing is,
27:55they do walk around like this,
27:56don't they?
27:56Yeah, they're definitely tense.
27:57So here we go, ready?
27:58Let's hit it.
28:00Oh, oh.
28:02No!
28:06No!
28:07No!
28:09No!
28:09Let's take him out of me.
28:10Put me down.
28:11Get out of here.
28:12No!
28:13That's the most humiliating thing on the other side.
28:15Oh, my God.
28:16Hell yeah.
28:19Plain collision
28:20for the female contenders.
28:22Give it up for Nicola.
28:23And she's going to have to dodge
28:27Sabre and Electro.
28:30These two gladiators
28:31form a real power couple.
28:33Electro is a collision veteran,
28:36so these celebrities,
28:37well, they're in for a shock.
28:41And joining them are Fire and Comet.
28:46Winter's normally the time
28:47to get cosy by a fire.
28:50Just knock this one.
28:51Contender, ready!
28:59Gladiators, ready!
29:04Three, two, one!
29:07So, Nicola's turn
29:08to take on the collision bridge
29:10or just take it apart?
29:12How easy was that?
29:14Two points scored straight away.
29:16Hello.
29:16And she's having a chat
29:18with the gladiators,
29:19a friendly greeting.
29:20It nearly came back to bite
29:21and knocked off her feet,
29:23but a good recovery from Nicola,
29:25who is absolutely loving it up there.
29:28Bob and Weave,
29:29well, this is all part
29:30of a boxer's training.
29:32Six points scored
29:33and surely more to come.
29:36The gladiators have made contact
29:38with Nicola a few times,
29:39but she's been more than strong enough
29:41to see them off.
29:42And she's certainly quick enough
29:44and she should be happy enough
29:46with her efforts here.
29:48She's got time to make it ten points
29:51if she can evade the gladiators once more.
29:53She might even make it twelve.
29:55There's ten.
29:56Go on, Nicola.
29:57Ten seconds left on the clock.
29:59A little more hesitant this time, Nicola.
30:02And she's slowing.
30:03The stumble won't help.
30:05I think she's going to run out of time now.
30:08That's it.
30:09Ten points scored.
30:11We don't see that on collision often.
30:16There were a few close calls,
30:18but Nicola rolled with the punches.
30:20Well, the kicks anyway.
30:22What else could we have expected?
30:27Brilliant performance.
30:29Giving the gladiators a run for the money.
30:31That's exactly what it is.
30:32That's what you've got to do.
30:34And Sabre, Nicola put you in a right spin.
30:36She really did.
30:37You're probably a bit more used to
30:38fist flying at your face and feet,
30:40but you're not in the ring now, babe.
30:41You're in the arena
30:42and we're just getting warmed up.
30:43Yeah, why don't you say that?
30:45You are the undefeated champion of the world
30:48here on the collision for us, aren't you?
30:50Can you say that again
30:51just to make sure they hear that?
30:52Yeah.
30:53I said the undefeated collision champion of the world.
30:57There you go.
30:58Five crossings.
31:00Ten points.
31:00It's unbelievable.
31:02Nicola Lannos, everyone.
31:04Of course, our brilliant gladiators.
31:09Next up on collision, it's Vogue.
31:16Contender, ready.
31:22Gladiators, ready.
31:25Three, two, one.
31:31Let's see if Vogue can last longer
31:33on the collision bridge
31:34than she managed on the dual podium.
31:36Well, it's not a bad start, is it?
31:38She's huffed and puffed her way across to two points.
31:42Now carefully studying the gladiators.
31:45Working out when best to time the run.
31:48One, and it looks as though she's done it.
31:49She's across for four.
31:51Vogue's getting the hang of this.
31:53She's finding a nice rhythm now.
31:55Oh, but she's got to make sure she hangs on to the ball.
31:59One.
31:59Another thing you needed reminding of just how difficult collision is.
32:03Listen to Vogue's breathing.
32:06This is taking a lot out of her.
32:08She does, though, still have time for more scores.
32:12Evading Electro.
32:13Fighting fire.
32:15All the time keeping an eye on Comet.
32:17Now Vogue has to get back to her feet and go.
32:20Sonia McClamour waving her towards the net.
32:23Two more points scored.
32:25I don't know if she's got the energy to get back one more time.
32:29Three, two, one.
32:31That's it for Vogue.
32:33One last shot for luck.
32:35Well said, Mark.
32:40Vogue's height spent a lot of time ducking low,
32:43but she's scored pretty high.
32:44Six is very respectable.
32:47Now to be here up against the gladiators,
32:50like, how does it feel?
32:51I mean, genuinely, this is a childhood dream.
32:54We used to batter each other at home trying to be gladiators,
32:58and I think it's kind of prepared me
33:00for a little bit of a beating in here.
33:01How is she as a contender?
33:02She is absolutely great, because she smashed her.
33:05That is six points to Vogue!
33:08Thank you to Vogue and our gladiators.
33:15Finally, some Christmas cheer.
33:17Both celebrities are on the board,
33:19and not for the first time.
33:21Nicola's ahead on points.
33:23Our next event is The Wall,
33:25and the key to success here is...
33:26Get a massive ladder.
33:28No, it's strength and determination.
33:30Ladder all day long.
33:31It's The Wall!
33:32I'll get her ladder.
33:33What is wrong with you?
33:34The Wall.
33:37Climbing the wall for the male contenders.
33:39In red, it is Joe!
33:44And in blue, it is Sam!
33:49And hunting them down will be...
33:51Nitro and Hammer!
33:53I hope Hammer climbs better than he dances,
34:11because he might have something to prove to Sam.
34:13Is he too big to climb fast?
34:16Or has Sam talked too much?
34:20Hammer excels at clobbering contenders,
34:23but he can knock out a perfect hem, too.
34:25With his size and speed,
34:26he's tailor-made for this event.
34:28Back the streets, back the streets, back the streets, back the streets.
34:33Contenders, ready!
34:36Let's go!
34:38Gladiators, ready!
34:41Let's go!
34:43Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
34:46Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle.
34:49Three, two, one.
34:52Away they go, and Joe in red will have to climb particularly quickly,
34:56because Nitro's back, and this is one of his best events.
35:00It's wonderful to see him back.
35:02I'm not sure that Joe will agree.
35:03He's on him already, and he's got a hold of the harness,
35:07as on the other side, Sam just keeps out of the clutches of Hammer.
35:11Maybe he was right.
35:12He could be about to beat him on the wall.
35:15There'll be no beating Nitro, though.
35:17Joe is off, and that leaves the way clear
35:20for Sam to haul himself over the top for ten points.
35:24Sam nails Hammer and the wall.
35:28Joe caught by a re-energised Nitro.
35:32Sam, I've got one thing to say to you.
35:34You've made it to the top of the wall!
35:38Wow!
35:39I feel like a little whippet.
35:41That was mad.
35:41I'd only just fall off things.
35:43Well, look, you've done so well there.
35:45That's a massive ten points!
35:46Yeah!
35:48Down on the floor here with Joe.
35:51You're up against Nitro.
35:52Once you lose that foot and you lose momentum, he had me.
35:55He's a strong guy.
35:56He's a unit.
35:57I won't get away from him then.
35:58Nitro, how does it feel to be back?
36:00It feels absolutely amazing to be back home in Jeffield.
36:05But look, my guy slips.
36:07And when you slip on this wall, it's so unforgiving.
36:10So I've got to give him massive props.
36:12Let's hear it for Joe.
36:13Come on!
36:13Yes!
36:15Sam as well, obviously.
36:17What happened there, mate?
36:18What a shocker, if you don't mind me saying.
36:20Yeah, he did go to plan.
36:21You know what?
36:21His nickname should be Squirrel, the way he went up there.
36:23You know what I mean?
36:24Yeah.
36:25My thanks to Nitro, Hammer, Joe, and, of course, ten points for Sam!
36:30Well, well, the cockroach climbs into the lead.
36:37After three events, Sam has 14 points.
36:40Joe's on 11.
36:42Time now for the female contenders.
36:44On the left-hand side, it is Nicola.
36:49And on the right-hand side, it's Vogue.
36:53And they have got to get away from Dynamite and Cyclone.
36:58Cyclone straight across to get in Vogue's face, but she's not phased.
37:15It's time for the All-Island Games.
37:18This will be Cyclone's debut on the wall.
37:21The wall should be worried.
37:22Dynamite is small and mighty, and she's ready to have a ripping time.
37:36Contenders, ready!
37:37Contenders, you will go on my first whistle.
37:48Gladiators, you will go on my second whistle.
37:51Three, two, one!
37:53Upper body strength was Vogue's big concern.
37:56We know that won't be a problem for Nicola.
37:59They're both climbing really well from the start, though.
38:02But here we go.
38:03Vogue's been caught by Cyclone.
38:05And Dynamite has got to hold on Nicola.
38:08How long can they hold on?
38:10It's not about the climbing anymore.
38:13Oh, really good adjustment from Nicola.
38:15But Vogue has gone.
38:17Now Nicola's clinging on with everything she's got,
38:20with Dynamite hanging off her.
38:23But that's it.
38:24It's all over on the wall.
38:28With neither of our celebrity contenders scoring any points at all.
38:34It's a record, I hear.
38:35It's a new record.
38:37It's the quickest takedown from the wall we've ever seen.
38:40From Gladiators!
38:42I'm so sorry.
38:43No, don't do that!
38:45Sorry.
38:46I've got to ask you first, though, Vogue.
38:48Intimidating tactics from Cyclone in your face.
38:51I mean, honestly, I've never seen such a behaviour, Cyclone.
38:55Very, very quick indeed.
38:56Out of the blocks, what do you think?
38:58This is actually my wall debut.
39:00Oh!
39:02Woo-hoo-hoo!
39:03Oh, yeah!
39:03Woo-hoo-hoo!
39:06I don't think anyone would expect a 5'10", 96-kilo stallion
39:11to be able to move that fast.
39:14But clearly, I can.
39:16I'm going to say, that might not have been our thing,
39:20but wait, you see us for the next one.
39:21You're going down, especially you.
39:23Oh!
39:25Yeah, yeah!
39:26Oh!
39:29See you, Vogue!
39:31While Cyclone sweeps Vogue away,
39:33let's take a look at the scores.
39:36And with nothing gained from the wall,
39:38Nicola still leads by 10 points to 6.
39:40Next up, it's Gauntlet.
39:45And this one is very physical,
39:47and there's a chance people could get hurt.
39:49But what kind of person wants to watch celebrities
39:51being battered by a gang of superheroes?
39:55It's Gauntlet!
39:58Gauntlet.
40:00Daring to take on the Gauntlet for the male contenders,
40:03it's Sam!
40:08And he'll be facing this fearsome 5.
40:15Phantom, Nitro, Steel, Bionic, and Apollo.
40:23Don't stop me!
40:25Having taken down Joe on the wall,
40:37Nitro now has the chance to defeat Sam too.
40:40Can he stamp out the cockroach for good?
40:46Contender, ready!
40:52Gladiators, ready!
40:55Three, two, one!
41:01I wonder if ever bouncy Sam
41:02will still be cheerful by the end of this.
41:06Well, he's managed to get past the first two zones,
41:09away from Steel and into Phantom.
41:11He's wriggling about in there, is Sam,
41:14but he's done the job well so far.
41:16Now, only Apollo to beat,
41:18and he's got there!
41:19A dive over the line from Sam,
41:22who is ecstatic!
41:25What a ride!
41:28El Cockroach strikes again!
41:31Come on, the cockroach!
41:33You can't get rid of the cockroach, baby!
41:37Oh, one second.
41:39Our referee, Mark Clatenberg, has something to say.
41:42Oh!
41:43Oh!
41:43Oh!
41:44Sam, we've looked at the VAR.
41:49Unfortunately, your foot wasn't over the line.
41:53No!
41:55Therefore, you've only completed four zones,
41:59and I can only award you eight points.
42:02Vroom!
42:05Nah, Sam, how do you feel about that?
42:07What the hell is this game?
42:09What the hell?
42:10I guess Mark Clatenberg has the final word.
42:13The rules are the rules.
42:14No, I never liked Clatenberg, to be honest with you.
42:16You always used to do Chelsea dirty,
42:19and you're doing me dirty now.
42:20That's it, Prince Desson!
42:25Come on!
42:32Next up on the Gaunt Club run,
42:34it is Joe!
42:39Contender, ready!
42:45Gladiators, ready!
42:48Three, two, one!
42:54Well, Joe looks ready for this.
42:56One way, then the other, to get past Nitro,
42:59and he's wriggled his way through Steel as well.
43:02Phantom's not going to be beaten quite so easily,
43:04but there he goes.
43:06Joe is into Zone 4,
43:08where Bionic can't fully get to grips with him.
43:10Joe there tried to dive underneath Apollo.
43:13He's through now!
43:14Ten points for Joe!
43:15He successfully runs the Gauntlet!
43:21That was amazing!
43:23You've got to be happy with him!
43:24What a tactic!
43:25Todd, you move, Todd, you move, you're brilliant!
43:27I just went for him, Matt.
43:28I'm so glad I finished there,
43:29because I was worried.
43:30It's so intimidating when you look at him down there,
43:32you think you're never going to get through him,
43:33but I did it!
43:34Yeah, you absolutely did!
43:37A quick old shimmy, and he was gone!
43:39Mate, that little shimmy was lovely!
43:41I enjoyed that one, I was caught dazed!
43:44Ten points for Joe!
43:47What a result for Joe!
43:50Sam thought he'd scored maximum two
43:52until Klattenberg the Grinch got involved.
43:54Sam still leads,
43:55but takes a razor-thin advantage into the eliminator.
43:58He's got 22 points.
44:00Joe's on 21.
44:00Taking on the gauntlet for the female celebrities,
44:06it's Nicola!
44:10And she is up against the power of...
44:17Dynamite, Electro, Fury, Comics, and Cyclone!
44:23It wouldn't be Christmas without Comet and the other reindeer.
44:40She's ready to switch it up from pulling the sleigh
44:42to slaying our celebrity contenders.
44:50Contender ready!
44:52Gladiators, ready!
45:01Three, two, one!
45:04Well, I would think Nicola will do pretty well here.
45:06She's straight past Comet,
45:08but, oh, she takes a bashing from Electro,
45:11and she hits the canvas.
45:13She's not used to that.
45:14Quickly back to her feet, though,
45:16and into Zone 5 in the blink of an eye.
45:19Cyclone stops her for a while,
45:21but she can't stop her fully.
45:23Ten points, Nicola.
45:24We knew that was coming.
45:26They really wanted to stop you.
45:32Yeah, they really did.
45:33They really tried, but do you know what?
45:35Cream always rises to the top, baby!
45:37Oh, I love it!
45:40We got the shot from Electro that took you,
45:41that put you down there,
45:42and you got straight back up.
45:44Boom!
45:45See ya!
45:46This is the first time I've ever been down.
45:48Do you know what?
45:48I got back up on one.
45:50Yeah, Electro, you did it, mate!
45:53To be fair to her,
45:53I probably am wearing the biggest pair of boxing gloves
45:55she's ever fought again this time.
45:58Absolutely brilliant.
45:59Ten points, got to be happy on that.
46:00Thanks!
46:01Absolutely buzzing with that!
46:03Thanks, everyone!
46:04Let's go!
46:07Our next female celebrity to run the contest,
46:09it's Vogue!
46:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
46:12Contender, ready!
46:20Gladiators, ready!
46:25Three, two, one!
46:29Not as strong as Nicola Vogue
46:30will have to use her guile and skill here.
46:33She is into Zone 3, though.
46:36She's trying to slide her way past Dynamite.
46:39Mark Klanberg gives the signal to release.
46:41Oh, Fury hasn't done any damage at all with that claw.
46:45It's left a cyclo to try and prevent Vogue
46:47from going all the way!
46:49She can't do it!
46:50Vogue has done it!
46:52What a run that was!
46:54Mate, congratulations!
46:56You made it to the end of the gauntlet!
46:58Listen, I'm as surprised as everybody else are delighted!
47:02Dynamite, you were with her at Zone 3,
47:05and you held her back for quite a while there,
47:06I've got to say.
47:07Yeah, I mean, fair play for actually coming in
47:09and facing us,
47:10because one gladiator is very scary,
47:13but five of us, you smashed it!
47:17Ten points to you, Blake!
47:19Thank you to Vogue and our gladiators!
47:25Careful!
47:26After four events, Vogue has 16 points
47:32and is chasing down the Olympic champion,
47:35but Nicola maintains her lead with 20,
47:37so she's got the advantage for the eliminator.
47:41Oh, wow!
47:42Yeah!
47:43What a show!
47:44Thank you so much!
47:45Just one final event stands between
47:47our star contenders and victory.
47:50It's just like a VIP after-party,
47:52but less champagne and more sweat.
47:54Yes, and the only thing being popped are hamstrings.
47:58Here we go!
47:59It's the eliminator!
48:01The eliminator!
48:02It's time for contender against contender
48:07in a head-to-head race across this iconic course,
48:10now even more demanding,
48:12with an all-new, tougher balance beam to traverse,
48:15before taking on the legendary Travelator.
48:18The winner of the eliminator
48:20will be crowned Celebrity Champion.
48:24Any points advantage now converts into a head start,
48:27so with Sam one point ahead,
48:29he takes just a half-second lead over Joe.
48:33For the Celebrity Gladiator Trophy,
48:37contenders ready!
48:41Sam, you will go on my first whistle.
48:44Joe, you will go on my second whistle.
48:47Three, two, one!
48:50So nothing between them at the start.
48:52This should be a real Christmas cracker.
48:54Look at Sam's enthusiasm.
48:56He's been like that all night.
48:58He's like that all his life.
48:59Oh, he's swinging away from the platform there.
49:02A little too much momentum.
49:04And that allows Joe to just edge into the lead.
49:07Oh, look at Sam go!
49:09He's whizzed across the overhead ladders.
49:12A quick unclip of the trapeze,
49:13and he's in front once more.
49:16The energy around the whole arena is electric.
49:20Joe hurls himself onto the net
49:22and catches up with Sam again.
49:24Who's going to win this?
49:26It's absolutely in the balance.
49:29Joe's climbing well.
49:30He has the inside run as well.
49:32But Sam's there first.
49:34And he will jog across to the zip wire,
49:36breathing hard.
49:38He knows he's nearly there.
49:40I think he's enjoying himself.
49:41It's hard to tell.
49:43Now for the beam with the end nearly in sight.
49:46And Sam has fallen.
49:48These beams are more difficult this year.
49:51They go up, they go down.
49:52You've got to make contact with the red zone
49:54in the middle and at the end.
49:55And Joe did that with ease.
49:57And now tackles the travelator.
50:00He's got the legs and arms pumping.
50:02And Joe Wiggs wins.
50:05Sam is still toppling and tumbling behind him.
50:09But nothing will wipe the smile from his face.
50:12Great cheers from all around the arena.
50:14He's given everybody a whole load of enjoyment tonight.
50:17And Mark Plattenburg claps.
50:20And Joe cheers him on.
50:21And he has one last go to bounce up that travelator
50:25and swing through the finish in style.
50:30Nothing in it until Sam stumble
50:32as Joe raised clear
50:33to be our male celebrity champion.
50:37Dude, you look so happy.
50:38Man, I'm so chuffed, man.
50:40It is so amazing.
50:42The crowd, everybody here.
50:44That was so fun.
50:46Yeah.
50:47Yeah.
50:49That is one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.
50:52That travelator, you just flew up there.
50:54Mate, that's amazing.
50:55What a great contender, great partner, great dancing partner.
50:57I love you.
50:57Yeah, brilliant.
51:00You've been an incredible contender, Sam.
51:02Are you chuffed?
51:03El Cockroach, baby.
51:05You can't stamp him out.
51:07Give it up for El Cockroach.
51:09El Cockroach.
51:10All right.
51:11Sam came off the balance beam.
51:13Give you the edge.
51:14Settled yourself up the travelator.
51:16What are you thinking of that time?
51:17I'll tell you what.
51:18Even though, you know, I had a bit of a breather,
51:20I've still found that travelator hard.
51:22It's much harder than watching it at home on TV.
51:24You know, I'm really chuffed that I won,
51:25but I think he's been an amazing partner.
51:26Absolutely.
51:27It's been a fantastic show.
51:28Absolutely exhausted.
51:30I've got one thing to say to you.
51:32Joe Wicks, you are our celebrity gladiator champion!
51:37Yeah!
51:37Yeah!
51:41There you go!
51:43There's your medals, yes, Mark.
51:46Sam has done!
51:47Yes, Sam, a runner-up!
51:49Yes!
51:53Gladiator champion, everyone!
51:56Now it's the turn of our female celebrity contenders.
51:59Nicola has a four-point lead,
52:01and therefore a two-seconds head start.
52:03Over to referee Mark Klettenberg.
52:06For the celebrity gladiator trophy,
52:10contenders, ready!
52:14Nicola, you will go on my first whistle.
52:17Vogue, you will go on my second whistle.
52:20Three, two, one!
52:24Away goes Nicola.
52:25Straight into it.
52:26Over the first and under the second,
52:28as Vogue hits a barrier from the off.
52:32Nicola's already climbing up the rope.
52:34Her opponent might be already on the ropes.
52:37That's not for the first time.
52:39Don't think I've ever seen a contender
52:40take on those first hurdles in such unorthodox style.
52:44But that's Vogue.
52:45She's got her own style.
52:47Nicola's onto the overhead ladders.
52:49She didn't get up the rope all that quickly.
52:51Vogue doesn't look like she's going to get up the rope at all.
52:54She did say that she was worried about her upper body strength,
52:57and she's getting the ladder out for a bit of help.
53:00Nicola was stuck just momentarily on the overhead ladders,
53:04but she's over them now,
53:05and will swing across to the cargo net.
53:08She's got such a healthy lead now.
53:11Vogue surely needs a Christmas miracle to catch her up.
53:15She'll keep going, that's for sure.
53:17And there's that upper body strength being called into question again.
53:22Those overhead ladders are swinging too.
53:24That makes it all the more difficult.
53:26She's just got onto the podium now
53:28as Nicola reaches the very top of the cargo net
53:31and wearily hauls herself up to take on the zip wire next.
53:37Vogue looks as though she's really struggling,
53:39but Nicola is absolutely flying
53:42and enjoying every moment of it.
53:46Vogue's still on the net.
53:47Nicola nearly has this in the back of the net.
53:51She wasn't moving very well
53:52as she went across towards the beam there.
53:55She's taking this very steadily indeed.
53:58There's a bit of a grimace.
53:59And oh, you can feel Vogue's tiredness.
54:03A wobble from Nicola,
54:05but she stays on the beam.
54:06And here comes Vogue.
54:09This might not be over yet, you know.
54:12Again, Nicola slightly wobbly at the end of the beam.
54:16But if Nicola does this, she's going to win.
54:20She's running out of energy.
54:22She's going to go backwards in a moment.
54:24And Vogue is off the end of the beam.
54:26Maybe miracles do happen.
54:28Here she goes.
54:30Vogue.
54:30Oh, she can't make it even halfway up.
54:33Nor can Nicola.
54:34Who's got the desire, the energy, the willpower
54:39to win this epic eliminator?
54:42They're still neck and neck.
54:44They're going to reach the top together here.
54:47Now it's all about the swing.
54:49Vogue grabs the rope first.
54:51But it is really, really close.
54:55That was incredible.
54:58Well, the trickier balance beam was a problem for Nicola.
55:01And then it was a head-to-head race up the Travellator.
55:05It's a mightily close one to call.
55:07OK.
55:10I can now reveal, guys,
55:12that there was only two hundredth of a second in it.
55:18I can now reveal that the winner,
55:20and therefore the Gladiators Celebrity Champion,
55:23is...
55:25Vogue!
55:26I tell you now,
55:39it was extraordinary, Nick.
55:41It was a struggle for you.
55:43Yeah, it really was.
55:44I came down on the zipline,
55:46and I just landed funny on my ankle,
55:48and then I just couldn't get my ankle going.
55:50Oh, but what a fantastic competitor, Nicholas.
55:53OK, leave your line to bring in Nicola's medal.
55:56There you go.
55:57That was fantastic.
55:58Well done, Nick.
55:59Absolutely sensational.
56:01It's the first silver medal I've had.
56:04Congratulations, though, Nicola Adams!
56:07Brilliant!
56:09Vogue, that was a tricky eliminator.
56:12You were quite far behind Nicola,
56:14but you managed to catch up,
56:15and you managed to beat her.
56:17I honestly cannot believe that.
56:20I've had the best day,
56:22and the crowd,
56:23when I was doing so badly,
56:24you were so nice.
56:26Honestly, thank you.
56:27You really like that.
56:28You push us on.
56:30I've got one thing to say to you.
56:32You're our Gladiators Celebrity Champion!
56:35Amazing!
56:37Here comes Mr. Clanton Dyer with the trophy.
56:40There you go!
56:42Well done, Nick.
56:43Well done.
56:45Congratulations.
56:45Congratulations.
56:46Champion Vogue heads over to soak up the adulation of her adoring fans.
56:55She'll be so grateful to them,
56:57and to that ladder.
56:58Merry Christmas, everyone!
57:00What a night!
57:02What a show, what a show.
57:03Hey, I wonder how our star contenders are feeling now.
57:06Well, tomorrow they'll be feeling muscles they didn't even know existed.
57:09If you want more action from the arena,
57:11then you are in luck.
57:12We have more brave members of the public
57:14queuing up to take on the mighty Gladiators.
57:16Oh, yes, and we'll be back on BBC One and iPlayer very soon,
57:19and here's a look at what is coming up
57:21on the smashing new series of Gladiators!
57:28We are back!
57:30The toughest game show on telly!
57:34This is going to be incredible.
57:36I came here to fight.
57:39I will always be better than you.
57:40Who is this guy?
57:42Things are about to get brutal.
57:45The show's gone a bit weird there.
57:48Three brand new events.
57:50Yes!
57:54It's truly squeaky bomb time.
57:56Sorry about that.
57:58It's hammer time!
58:00Lock in.
58:02Cheers down.
58:03Smash.
58:09Looks like your airbags have gone off.
58:11Heat rises.
58:13Babes, you've got scorched today.
58:15Well, they say, if you're going to be done,
58:16you've got to be tough.
58:17And I am very, very tough.
58:19Gladiators!
58:19Ready!
58:20Ready!
58:20Ready!
58:20Ready!
58:21Do you feel the power of the Gladiators?
58:27Do you have the will and the skill?
58:32Do you have the speed, the strength, the heart to be a winner?
58:38It's not for beginners.
58:41Get down in your soul.
58:43Are you a gladiator?
58:46Are you a gladiator?
58:46Oh, oh, oh.
