He is just and inspirational person

THE BBC have ordered a third series of Gladiators before the current season has even ended.

The Saturday night show has proved a ratings hit for the corporation, and created a huge buzz. 

That's despite the fact that the programme, hosted by Bradley Walsh and son Barney, has only been back on our screens for two weeks.

A TV insider said: "Channel chiefs invariably wait to see how one series does before they order another one - but usually they wait more than fortnight before they make a decision.

"But season two of Gladiators has just been so well received it was a no brainer to commission a third outing as soon as possible.

"It will be a huge thrill to the ever-growing army of fans of the family-friendly show."

The reboot of Gladiators, which originally started on ITV in 1992 with Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu hosting, launched last January on BBC One.

Not surprisingly the Beeb then ordered a second series plus the celebrity special which aired on New Years Day and was watched by just over 5m.

The current series, which continues tomorrow on BBC One, has had an extra wow-factor thanks to the introduction of a favourite game from the old days, the atlaspheres, as well as bringing in two new gladiators.

Although it would have been a big shock for the BBC had they decided not to order a third outing, it's quite a surprise they've recommissioned so quickly.

Filming on the new series is expected to take place this summer with Bradley and Barney likely to return as presenters. 

There's also a very high chance that the show, made by production company Hungry Bear, will also see Celebrity Gladiators recommissioned for a second outing too.

Would've been amazing if they televised this. This was recorded during the celebrity episode, right after the celebrities' duel.

Anyone recall who the two other contenders were? I'm guessing it was Josh for the blokes.

For Series 3 the Production team developed a new way to decide which runner up from the Heats went through, whereby the two fastest runner ups from the men and the two fastest runner ups from the women went head-to-head in a game of Duel, with the winner of each game securing their place in the Quarter Finals. 

These Duel-offs were recorded in Sheffield in front of the live audience at the end of the Heats. When both games were played, no Contender came off the podium when the time was up. That meant there was no clear winner, so it was down to Head Referee, Mark Clattenburg to make the final decision, based on the Contenders performance in the Duel. Mark declared Millie the winner of the female bout and Shaun the winner of the male bout and therefore both won their place in the Quarter Finals.

Although these Duels were not aired on TV, the winners, as declared by Mark Clattenberg did progress through to the Quarter Finals.

The Edge is back for a change, and the new Everest is pending some proper battles!
