GLADIATORS has revealed a legendary football commentator will narrate the action in the new series.
One of the most recognisable voices in top flight football will be calling all the thrilling action on the entertainment gameshow coming to BBC One soon.
Guy Mowbray will be providing the voiceover commentary on all the action for the show as the brave contenders take on the mighty challenges and the even mightier Gladiators.
He has been behind the mic for BBC Sport for the Africa Cup of Nations, European Championship, FA Cup and Premier League.
In the summer of 2021 millions of viewers were hanging on Guy's each and every word as he called the final of the Euros – and Italy's ultimate triumph over England – live on BBC Television.
His distinctive voice also features on the EA Sports FC 24 game.

Guy said: “It’s an absolute joy to be the voice of such an iconic show.
"The Saturday night memories will come flooding back for many, whilst it’s brilliant to think of a new generation being introduced to an all new, even more ripped group of Gladiators!
"They are serious athletes, as are all the contenders who’ve been bold enough to take them on. The best thing for me is that the format is the same as it ever was – only better!”
The show originally ran on ITV for eight seasons from 1992 until 2000 – with Andrew Sachs' son John as the voiceover artist.
