Holly Willoughby lined up for Gladiators reboot after ITV show is AXED | The Sun

HOLLY Willoughby has been tipped to present the reboot of Gladiators when it returns next year.

It's been confirmed that the sports game show will launch on the BBC in 2023 and is being produced by Holly's husband Dan Baldwin and his Hungry Bear production company.


With Dan, 47, working on the show Holly, 41, has been named as the most likely host though no names have been confirmed.

Mum-of-three Holly will no doubt have the time to take the show on after it was revealed ITV's The Games had been axed after just one series.

It's been confirmed by ITV that the Olympics-style show, presented by Holly and Freddie Flintoff, will not be returning.

Holly currently hosts This Morning and Dancing on Ice, both on ITV alongside Phillip Schofield, and is thought to earn more than £700k a year from the channel alone.

Speaking about the new 11-part Gladiators series, Dan said: "It’s the perfect time for Gladiators to return.

"What other show combines electric excitement, superheroes, giant sponge fingers, elite athletes and a pinch of pantomime?”

The original Gladiators, which originally ran from 1992 to 2000 and returned for a Sky 1 reboot in 2008, was hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and Justin Fashanu.

Meanwhile Holly this week stunned fans with a new make-up free selfie.
