Guy Mowbray to call the action on Gladiators

BBC football commentator Guy Mowbray will be calling all the thrilling action on Gladiators.

The much loved Saturday night staple, which first aired in the early 90s, will be back with an 11-episode series.

“It’s an absolute joy to be the voice of such an iconic show,” said Mowbray.

“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!”

Mowbray 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.
