It was essential Saturday night viewing in the 90s and now it's back!

Sky One's brand new series of Gladiators features 32 contenders from all over the UK battling it out for the grand prize fund of £100,000.

More than 20,000 applicants applied to take part in the revived series but only one male and one female contestant will triumph to win their share of the prize.

Original referee John Anderson returns for the show, which is filmed in the biggest studio set in the UK.

Sky One's Director Of Programmes, Richard Woolfe said: "I think it's going to absolutely blow people's socks off. The games are bigger, the Contenders are stronger and the Gladiators this time around are even more unbelievable."
