One of the most popular shows of the 90’ss and early 2000’s is back! Pitting contestants in a wide variety of physical games against Gladiators, the non-stop action takes place on an assault course. The new generation of Gladiators is set to return to our screens for 15 action packed episodes. The team is busy recruiting both contestants and Gladiators to take part and are in Cape Town this weekend to see what the Mother City’s fittest and fastest have to offer.

Shannon Gaskin, affectionately known as Tusk to fans, joined Bobby & Lindy for a chat about the new instalment of the show. He will join the team as a mentor to the new generation of Gladiators:
