Bradley Walsh and his son Barney Walsh are reportedly wanted to become the hosts of the new version of Gladiators.

Bradley Walsh and his son Barney Walsh are reportedly in the frame to host the BBC's much-anticipated revival of Gladiators.

The popular '90s endurance show is being brought back for a new series next year, with a whole new cast of Gladiators being assembled to battle with daring members of the public.

The BBC is in the process of determining the hosts for the show, and according to The Sun, Bradley and Barney - who appear together on ITV travelogue Breaking Dad - are top of their list.

"The BBC love the idea of having a unique duo fronting Gladiators and that's what hiring a father and son gives them," a source said.

"It's certainly a break from the presenters the show had previously.

"They already know they have a great dynamic, thanks to appearing together on their travelogue, Breaking Dad, as well as drama, The Larkins.

"They also realise getting Brad to front the show with Barney is a bit of a coup because he's already one of the busiest men on telly."

The show is due to be filmed in Sheffield early next year for broadcast later in 2023.
