Former World's Strongest Man Set to Become New Gladiator in Hit BBC Show
The three-time World’s Strongest Man champion is set to add star power to the BBC One series, which returns with Bradley and Barney Walsh hosting.
- BBC One confirmed that Tom Stoltman has joined the cast of Gladiators for series 4, replacing Jamie Bigg, the performer known as Giant who announced his departure earlier this year.
- Known as "The Albatross" for his reach, the 6ft strongman holds the record for the heaviest Manhood stone at 286 kg and Atlas Stones weighing between 100 kg and 180 kg.
- The casting change follows the departure of Bigg, who stated he was "faced with a choice" that did not align with his values, later claiming he was axed due to his girlfriend’s OnlyFans career.
- Sheffield will host filming for the new series this month, with Stoltman calling the role "a dream opportunity" and aiming to inspire viewers to "take on their own challenges."
- Returning for its fourth series next year, the hit show will feature father-and-son hosts Bradley and Barney Walsh, though details regarding Stoltman’s Gladiator name remain under wraps.
