I’m on Gladiators this Christmas – don't miss it 😃

I'm so excited that you can watch me take part in Gladiators Celebrity Special on Christmas Day 😃

The one-hour special saw me, Sam Thompson, Nicola Adams, and Vogue Williams take on the challenge to see who will be crowned Celebrity Champion!

I was a kid in the 90s, so I have so many memories of Gladiators! It was such an iconic show for me growing up. In fact, Gladiators was one of the first times I saw physically strong people on TV – they were so inspiring as a kid.

Stepping into the arena for the first time was a little bit overwhelming, though. I've never done anything like that before where you're indoors in front of thousands of people!

But I loved it. Bradley asked me what my Gladiator name would be and I thought my name could be Activate after launching my kids' animation series this year.

I train every week, so I felt quite ready for The Eliminator. You can watch for yourself and find out how I did on Christmas Day.

Enjoy!
