Gladiators is making a comeback

The BBC is reviving the iconic TV show, and they've already warned the new set of stars that they need to be on their best behaviour.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "The Gladiators have all universally agreed to keep things PG.

"They’re professional sportspeople, many from Olympic or league level sports, so they’re treating the show like any other competition - pure professionalism, eating, training and sleeping right - which means no sex and no booze."

The long-awaited reboot has already started filming, and there's said to be lots of "flirty banter and sexual tension" between the stars backstage.

The insider shared: "Many grew up watching the original so being among the new breed of Gladiators is a big deal personally and professionally.

"But of course they’re all fit, gorgeous, and spending a lot of time wearing tiny Lycra costumes.

"The amount of flirty banter and sexual tension backstage is ridiculous."

Meanwhile, Bradley Walsh and his son Barney are set to co-host the reboot.

The TV star's wife, Donna, previously served as the head choreographer for the 'Gladiator' cheerleaders on the original series, and Bradley can't wait to be a part of the reboot.

Bradley, 63 - who also presents the ITV quiz show 'The Chase' - previously said: "I can’t believe that I’ve been asked to be part of this iconic show. I used to sit backstage, or in the audience, every week watching my wife be part of this juggernaut and now I get to co-host a new version of 'Gladiators'.

"Saturday night family entertainment at its best."
