90s Saturday night favourite Gladiators is returning to UK telly screens after the show successfully relaunched in the US.
The show will be given a "21st century makeover," will boast "much more exciting and dangerous" contests and will air on Saturday nights. The Sun reports that Ian Wright is likely to be the new host, replacing John Fashanu. John Anderson (that Scottish bloke whose catchphrase was "Gladiators, ready!") is in talks about returning.
In the show, members of the public will face a new team of 12 perma-tanned, lycra-clad Gladiators, though the return of legendary equipment like the rings and the Travelator haven't been confirmed yet.
According to Sky One's controller, it's going to be big: "Just like the revival of Take That and the Spice Girls, the return of this David-and-Goliath contest will be unmissable."

Oh joy of joys! They brought Gladiators back in 'Merica and it's doing quite well. Take a look at this Infomania and you'll see why.
