    Age:\u00a0<\/strong>23<\/p>\n

    Occupation:\u00a0<\/strong>Firefighter<\/p>\n

    Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Sheffield<\/p>\n

    The youngest contender in the final is Bronte and throughout the competition she has come up again Diamond, Fury and many more and is ready to take on the final.<\/p>\n

    Ahead of the final, Bronte admitted it felt \u201ccrazy\u201d to be in the final and wasn\u2019t expecting to get as far as she did.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI feel really proud of myself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

    As for what it would mean to her if she won the show, Bronte said it would be \u201csuch an amazing achievement that I\u2019d be proud of\u201d.<\/p>\n

    She continued: \u201cIt would mean the world to me knowing that I made all of my friends and family proud because they\u2019ve been such amazing support, I\u2019d love to be able to bring it home for a home crowd of Sheffield.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Marie-Louise<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Occupation:\u00a0<\/strong>Fitness coach<\/p>\n

    Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Dublin<\/p>\n

    Marie-Louise has scored maximum points five times across the series and while she did struggle with some challenges, it was during The Eliminator where she reigned victorious and became a finalist.<\/p>\n

    Having been inspired by the original show, Marie-Louise sees getting to the final as a \u201cdream come true\u201d.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt just makes me believe that I am capable of so much more than I ever believed,\u201d she said.<\/p>

    Finlay<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Age:\u00a0<\/strong>34<\/p>\n

    Occupation:\u00a0<\/strong>Army officer<\/p>\n

    Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Edinburgh<\/p>\n

    Finlay has had quite the journey on Gladiators, having injured himself during the quarter finals in which he chose to forfeit the Gauntlet.<\/p>\n

    While he did take on The Eliminator 11 seconds behind his opponent Wesley, he earned a place in the semi-finals and managed to win and so he will face Wesley once again in the final.<\/p>\n

    Speaking of his experience on the show, Finlay admitted the toughest Gladiator he competed against was Nitro.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHis explosive power is pretty impossible to match on any event,\u201d he said. \u201cAnnoyingly, he is a really nice guy too.\u201d<\/p>\n

    If Finlay won Gladiators, it would be a \u201cchildhood dream come true\u201d. He said: \u201cFrom making my own Eliminator with my brother aged 5 in my granny\u2019s living room to competing in the 2024 series is quite a leap.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Wesley<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Occupation:\u00a0<\/strong>Admin officer<\/p>\n

    Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Leeds<\/p>\n

    Wesley joined the competition during the quarter finals and stunned the Gladiators during the Gauntlet. Throughout the competition, he has been one to watch and will be rematching Finlay once again in the final.<\/p>\n

    The admin officer said it felt \u201cabsolutely amazing\u201d to get to the Gladiators final and that it has been \u201ca dream come true\u201d.<\/p>\n

    He added: \u201cBeing able to perform on one of my favourite TV Shows, in Sheffield Arena (I\u2019ve attended many times as a wresting fan), in front of family AND friends in the Gladiators final will be something I will remember for the rest of my life!\u201d<\/p>\n
