Gladiators Return! Walsh Family Join the Action
Gladiators Running in the Walsh Blood
Gladiators has always been part of the Walsh family’s DNA. Donna Walsh, Barney’s mum and Bradley’s wife, was head choreographer for the Gladiator cheerleaders on the original hit series. Little Barney even took some of his first steps on the legendary arena floor. Not to be outdone, Bradley followed his son’s footsteps, competing in a Celebrities vs Jockeys special back in 1997!
Bradley and Barney Walsh Ready to Rumble
Bradley Walsh couldn’t hide his excitement: “Wow! I can’t believe I’ve been asked to be part of this iconic show. I used to sit backstage or in the audience every week watching my wife be part of this juggernaut, and now I get to co-host a new version of GLADIATORS!!! Saturday night family entertainment at its best… ARE YOU READY?”
Meanwhile, Barney Walsh said: “Gladiators has been a massive part of our family, and it’s an honour to be asked to co-host this iconic show. I’m so excited for everyone to see the spectacle, elite athletes and fantastic family entertainment that is GLADIATORS.”
The Ultimate Test of Strength and Speed
The new 11-part series, produced by Hungry Bear Media and MGM Alternative UK, will feature a fresh lineup of superhuman Gladiators battling a daring group of contenders. Expect a heart-pounding mix of brand-new games alongside classic fan favourites like DUEL, HANG TOUGH, and THE ELIMINATOR.
