The next two members of the Gladiators team are revealed.

The next two members of the Gladiators team have been revealed ahead of filming beginning on the rebooted show.

The athletic competition is returning for a new series on BBC One later this year, with father-son duo Bradley Walsh and Barney Walsh taking over as hosts.

Over the last few weeks the new Gladiators have been steadily revealed, and the latest two editions to the lineup are 'Nitro' and 'Diamond'.

Nitro is an established member of Team GB's sprinting team, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, who is described as "lightning fast and a ball of energy".

"Becoming a Gladiator is another great achievement - a childhood dream come true," he said.

"You never know what is coming in life, each day is there to be enjoyed and savouring all opportunities is a must! It literally gives me energy and strength! I can't wait to be in the arena and bring Nitro to Gladiators."

Diamond, aka Livi Sheldon, is a 6' bodybuilder and former ladies' footballer with "bright beauty" who is "unbreakable and super strong".

She said: "When I was growing up I used to get picked on for being taller than everyone else. Now I get to show everyone that being unique is your superpower.

"I can't wait to get into the arena and take on the contenders as Diamond!"

Filming on the new series of Gladiators begins in Sheffield next week.
