The original show aired from 1992 to 2000 and was hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu.<\/p>\n<p>Sky previously brought it back in 2008, with its version presented by Ian Wright and Kirsty Gallacher, but the series was over by 2009.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the Walshes, another name that has been floated to host the reboot is Holly Willoughby\u2019s. Her husband Dan Baldwin\u2019s production company Hungry Bear Media is helming the Gladiators reboot, and the This Morning host has been involved in the company\u2019s projects in the past.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s worth noting that Bradley Walsh has also worked on a number of Hungry Bear series too, including Breaking Dad.<\/p>\n<p>Filming for the series is set to take place at the Utilita Arena Sheffield in 2023, so hopefully we won\u2019t have to wait much longer to see the hosts and, better yet, the hopeful warriors, in action.<\/p> <p><strong>Looking for something else to watch?
