The British reality show Gladiators has become a Saturday night sensation, averaging 5.3 million viewers and becoming the most-watched entertainment series on BBC iPlayer. Season 3, which premiered on January 17, is continuing that momentum thanks to new games and events.

This exciting competition features everyday people taking on elite athletes (known as Gladiators), who are powerful and highly trained competitors. Of course, their objective isn’t necessarily to beat the Gladiators, but to do enough to accumulate points.

There are plenty of games to watch, such as “Duel”, “Hang Tough”, “Powerball”, “The Edge” and “Unleash”, all delivering a triple-whammy of adrenaline, thrills and suspense as participants display intense physical strength – only the fittest survive!

Adding to the excitement, Gladiators season 3 features two new games: "Destruction" and "Everest" – with another set to be unveiled in the quarter-finals. The latest season also opened with a brand-new Celebrity Special, where four popular faces took on the Gladiators.
