What happens

The second series of Gladiators aired in the UK on 18 January 2025 on BBC One. It was recorded in August 2024 at the Sheffield Arena. The series was commissioned by the BBC after a successful relaunch in 2024, which attracted nearly ten million viewers during its whole first series. The eleven-part series is being presented by the Walshes (Bradley and Barney), who also presented the first series. Mark Clattenburg returns as the lead referee alongside assistants Lee Phillips and Sonia Mkoloma. In addition to the regular episodes, the series also has a "one-off" celebrity special episode, where four celebrity contestants; Rob Beckett, Joel Dommett, Louise Minchin and Ellie Taylor, took on the Gladiators. The first heat episode is dedicated to original Gladiators referee John Anderson, who died in July 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
