Calling all Brave Contenders from Northern Ireland!

Are you ready to be a Contender?

One of the UK's most iconic game shows is currently looking for a new batch of contestants hoping to take on the Gladiators for a new series. Bradley and Barney Walsh host the iconic competition show featuring all-out action as a new generation of superhumans take on brave contenders in the ultimate test of speed and strength.

Hungry Bear has put out a casting call for Northern Irish contestants who would be interested in seeing if they can make it all the way to 'The Eliminator'. Could you follow in the footsteps of NI gym owner Keeva Neely who made it to the semi-finals this year?

A BBC casting call for the show reads: "Gladiators, one of the most exciting and energetic sports entertainment game shows ever is back for a third series. We are on the look out for the bravest members of the British public who have the speed and skill to take on our superhuman Gladiators. Gladiators is produced for the BBC by Hungry Bear Media and MGM Alternative UK."

If you think you have what it takes to hear the iconic words "Contenders Ready! Gladiators Ready!" - you can apply for the show [here](#).
