Who is your favourite Gladiator

And why is it Legend?

Gutted that he is injured but glad he is still popping up and doing funny bits.

Cyclone is the best female gladiator, obviously. Just incredible.

Hammer

LezUlez · 23/02/2026 06:26

Yes Hammer is my fave. Sabre my favourite of the women

Iocanepowder · 23/02/2026 06:36

Came here for all the comments that still say Wolf!

Pandasarethebest · 23/02/2026 06:39

Legend, Steel, Fury and Dynamite.

Spartacus...somebody had to do it..sorry.👍😁

You beat me to it.

BurningOutt · 23/02/2026 06:48

Mark Clattenberg!!

Otherwise of the men - Phantom and Hammer
Women - Fury and Sabre

Agree with the pp who said Viper was for the kids - my 5yo DD loves him

saltandvinegarpringles · 23/02/2026 07:04

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the reboot at all?!

ChefsKisser · 23/02/2026 07:10

I love steel, husband likes sabre. Kids love legend and nitro.

cant warm to cyclone or bionic at all!

Whatisthisperihell · 23/02/2026 07:22

Fury and Nitro for the positive energy, so good for the kids and legend for entertainment!

PippiLongStockingsPigtails · 23/02/2026 07:46

Apollo gives me the heebie-jeebies. He’s just too perfect looking.
I love Phantom and Nitro. Nitro come across so well in every program he does. Leg-end makes me laugh loads. So cheesy but still funny.

Girl wise - Fury and Dynamite. Love that Dynamite looks so sweets and innocent yet is literally as strong and powerful as an ox!

RonaldMcDonaldTrump · 23/02/2026 08:31

My 6 year old calls Apollo "the come guy". Because of his "come here" action (I hope!). When he comes on TV he's like... "look mummy, the come guy". Cue me and DH desperately trying not to laugh 😂

Alltheprettyseahorses · 23/02/2026 08:44

Fire, because she's the best one on Morning Live Strictly Fitness which I do before bed when I'm on nights.

BillericayDickie · 23/02/2026 09:07

Steel
he has a lovely smile.
Legend is funny.

Another show for the brain dead amongst us.

Or it's a bit of fun lighten up

Oh and yes my favourite is also legend.
Ds9 loves diamond.

ItalianChineseIndianMexican · 23/02/2026 11:13

Fury.

bugalugs45 · 23/02/2026 11:16

I have a huge girl crush on Sabre , would be hard pushed to pick a male favourite ( I’m heterosexual by the way )

bugalugs45 · 23/02/2026 11:18

Adding to this , I forgot Mark the referee , he’s lovely , think it’s the accent and his cool exterior … Can I pick him?

blankcanvas3 · 23/02/2026 11:36

I would probably leave my husband for Fury if she was offering

REP22 · 23/02/2026 11:38

Russell Crowe.

FuzzyWolf · 23/02/2026 11:52

They are almost all great.

Did start series 1 desperately wanting to like Comet most of all (I loved Jet and Lightening as a child) but have found her disappointing in terms of showing off her gymnastics skills and she seems to lose almost everything.

I will judge you hard, he was a nightmare football referee, and far too big for his boots. Main character syndrome.

Unfortunately Gladiators has given him another arena to overflex his self importance in.

cornbunting · 23/02/2026 12:01

Yup, everyone in our house loves Legend. He's quick-witted enough to make the jokes work, and so over the top that it's always funny. My 9yo daughter does a great Legend pose, it's hilarious 😂

Nitro, Cyclone, Fury, Fire, Viper, and Giant are other favourites. Honestly though all of them seems like nice people, and it's such a fun show. It's nostalgic for my own childhood and also brilliant for me own kids, perfect Saturday night TV.

My 90s favourites were Wolf and Lightning 😍😂

Oh my god this is priceless 😂

HawthornFairy · 23/02/2026 12:04

I love Fire, Nitro and Giant. DD adores Diamond and has complicated imaginary conversations with Viper.
