The format – which originated in the US – was replicated in Australia, South Africa, Russia, Finland, Germany, Nigeria, Denmark and Sweden.
When it returned to Sky, airing between 2008-2009, Kirsty Gallacher and Ian Wright took over hosting duties from the original presenters John Fashanu and Ulrika Jonsson – with original referee John Anderson also returning for the Sky revival.
TV presenter Jonsson, 55, shot to fame as a TV weathergirl, with Gladiators catapulting her to further stardom.
The BBC has not yet announced who will host the revived show, but filming will take place at the Utilita Arena Sheffield next year.
Kate Phillips, the BBC’s director of unscripted, said: “Gladiators is back and a whole new generation of viewers can now look forward to watching a Saturday night spectacle like no other.
“Will the contenders have the will and the skill to succeed against our mighty new Gladiators? You’ll have to tune in to find out.”

The «Before You Go» artist acknowledged noticing that he was twitching in an interview from 2018 and that, today, his diagnosis «makes so much sense.» He also addressed fans who have called it out on social media. «I do the shoulder twitch quite a lot. And you see underneath every TikTok and stuff, people are like, 'Why is he twitching?', which is fine.
