GLADIATORS: FIRST LOOK AT THIS WEEK'S EPISODE, CONTENDERS AND CHALLENGES

Once again hosted by father and son duo Bradley and Barney Walsh, the show will see the Gladiators competing against a brave set of contenders in the ultimate test of speed and strength. They will take part in a series of brand-new games alongside classic challenges including fan-favourite The Eliminator.

In this heat, there’s controversy on Crash Course, Apollo returns to the Duel podium, and Mark Clattenburg gets a new and not-so-helpful assistant referee.

Gladiators continues Saturdays on BBC One.
