The third series features nine male and nine female Gladiators competing in five events plus the Eliminator, with a new game called Destruction introducing intense physical challenges.
- On Saturday, January 17, Gladiators returned on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 5.45pm, hosted by Bradley Walsh and Barney Walsh.
- The reboot's strong iPlayer performance helped prompt another season after series two became the most-watched Saturday-night series on BBC iPlayer and third most-watched entertainment show overall.
- In the new event Destruction, two Contenders race one Gladiator down lanes with four 8ft barriers, with the first to smash the final button winning before five events and the Eliminator.
- Four Gladiators were injured during filming, and viewers on social platforms had mixed reactions to Destruction, with one saying `It’s literally the first thing I notice every episode`.
- Gladiators continues next Saturday, January 24, on BBC One and iPlayer, with episodes available to catch up afterward, and applications for next year's instalment have closed.
