Gladiators viewers delighted as they spot original cast member Saracen in the audience during series final


Gladiators viewers were delighted during Saturday's series final when they spotted original cast member Saracen sitting in the audience.

To reach the final, the contenders had to do battle against the show's 16 Gladiators in games testing strength, speed and dexterity that continue to be family favourites from previous versions of the programme. Finlay, from Edinburgh, said the most challenging moment of the final was on The Edge, because he injured his "ribs quite badly on that event in the quarter-finals so naturally I was cautious as I didn't want to get hurt again". The season one Gladiators were called Sabre, Legend, Nitro, Diamond, Phantom, Athena, Bionic, Fire, Giant, Dynamite, Viper, Electro, Apollo, Comet, Steel and Fury, and came from sports and fitness backgrounds.
