Joe Wicks said: “Being a kid in the 90s means I have so many memories of Gladiators, so I wouldn't want to miss this chance because it was such an iconic show for me growing up. I have all these memories of watching the Gladiators thinking I'd love to be like that one day, so I couldn’t say no.”
Nicola Adams added: “I wanted to take on a new challenge! Also, I've watched Gladiators since I was a kid, and I always wanted to go on the show. Now I've got my chance to be on it, so it was a yes straight away.”
