Emily Bell and Josh McDonald won the 2026 BBC Gladiators final after competing across five events and the Eliminator challenge for trophies shaped like the show’s "G" logo.
- On Saturday, Emily Bell and Josh McDonald were crowned Gladiators champions of 2026 in the grand final, concluding the BBC reboot's third series.
- Across 11 episodes, 20 contenders entered the Gladiators arena competing in events testing speed, endurance, and agility, with Bell facing Naomi Church and McDonald facing Tyler Spence in the finals.
