However, according to reports in the Mirror, many fans were left unimpressed as they took to social media following the launch episode and all had the same complaint about hosts Bradley Walsh and his son Barney Walsh.
"It does lack some Ulrika, Bradley and Barney aren't the same! #Gladiators," one wrote, whilst a second added: "Please tell me Bradley Walsh and his son are not going to become the new Ant and Dec. #Gladiators."
A third shared: " #TheChase #Gladiators #blanketyblank Bradley Walsh is Saturday evening TV these days...come on TV executives take a risk and give someone else a chance."
"This would have been a good opportunity to give some new and young presenters a break #Gladiators," wrote a fourth as a fifth added: "They should have got Jet and Hunter to present #Gladiators."
