After 15 years off air, Gladiators<\/a> is back.<\/p>\n

On Saturday 13th January, Bradley and Barney Walsh will welcome a new batch of Gladiators<\/a>, who will take on contenders from all across the UK.<\/p>\n

The show first premiered on ITV in October 1992 as an adaptation of the US programme and its format, American Gladiators.<\/p>\n

It lasted for eight seasons, including several specials, and was the longest and most successful version of the Gladiators show in the world.<\/p>\n

The show briefly returned to our screens in 2008, this time appearing on Sky. It proved to be a success and was commissioned for a second season in 2009.<\/p>\n

Hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and ex-footballer John Fashanu, the original was a big hit in the \u201990s and noughties. While viewers tuned in each week to see which contenders would take on the Glads and make it through to the Eliminator, the Gladiators were ultimately the stars of the show, with the likes of Wolf, Rhino and Jet becoming huge household names.<\/p>\n

So, where are the original Gladiators today?<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about the former Gladiators, including what they went on to do after the show.<\/p>\n
