Inferno from Gladiators

It's bad news for all you fans of brand new Gladiator Inferno - and according to our poll there are a LOT of you out there.

It's emerged that programme bosses have had to rethink the skimpy outfits worn by the Gladiators after finding out that they go see-through in water.

The problem was discovered during rehearsals for the new Sky One series, reports today's Sun.

A programme insider told the paper: "We have to keep everyone decent. It's a family show after all."

Watch this video of the new Gladiators and let us know what you think about the outfits.

Are you looking forward to the new series? How do you think the new Gladiators compare to the likes of Hunter, Wolf and Jet?

    Exactly! I'm looking forward to watching it. Yes, it's going to be different! Yes, it's cheesy. But you know what, I LOVE it!

    no thank you. this is one for the kids i think, the costumes are no more revealing than anything else on the moment. what a bunch of posers.

    i'm gutted! the costumes are gay, panther's black all of a sudden (did they think we wouldn't notice?!) and these all look like models, not actual athletes. the proof will be in the pudding, but even (original) panther looked beefy compared to these wimps. i feel like a proper eighties kid now, but these guys look like complete cheesy crap and i'm embarrassed.

    The lads look tough enough but the ladies look like supermodels that would be trounced by the origionals such as Falcon (my fave) or Scorpio. I notice they ran out of ideas for names, like cross_bearer said, we already had a Panther.
