Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff are 5/2 favourites to host the reboot of Gladiators
The second reboot of hit show Gladiators has been announced by the BBC and betting sites are giving odds on who will host the show.
Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff are the bookies favourites to host the show, with Marvin and Rochelle Humes just behind in the betting market.
The show is set to air in 2023 on the BBC after a failed reboot of the show on Sky 1 back in 2008 and Betway have odds on the hosts.
| Gladiator Reboot Presenters | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Holly Willoughby and Freddie Flintoff
|
5/2 | 28.6% |
| Marvin and Rochelle Humes
|
7/2 | 22.2% |
| James Haskell and Chloe Madeley | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Isa Guha and Freddie Flintoff | 9/1 | 10.0% |
| Alex Scott and Ian Wright | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Sadly John Fashanu and Ulrika Jonsson don't feature in the betting market to host the show again.
Freddie Flintoff features in the market more than once with different presenters alongside him and the BBC may want him to present on this reboot.
Flintoff is already on the BBC as one of the presenters of hit car show Top Gear.
Former Love Island star Wes Nelson is the 6/4 favourite to be a Gladiator in the new series
Bookies give Wes Nelson a 40% chance of being one of the Gladiators in the reboot of the hit show.
It's unclear to see if the Gladiators on the show will be full of celebrities or relative unknowns.
The betting odds suggest that it will be well known names in the sports industry who are Gladiators in the reboot though.
| Gladiators Reboot - To Be A Gladiator | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Wes Nelson | 6/4 | 40.0% |
| Josh Herdman | 7/2 | 22.2% |
| Chelcee Grimes | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Lawrence Okoye | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Phoenix Gulzar-Brown | 6/1 | 14.3% |
The original series of Gladiators aired 10th October 1992 to 1st January 2000
Gladiators originally aired on 10th October 1992 to 1st January 2000 in its first spell on UK television, prooduced by LWT for ITV.
The show was then revived for Sky 1 and aired between May 2008 and October 2009 but failed to be a success.
BBC will be hoping that changes with their reboot set to air next year.
Kate Phillips, director of unscripted at the BBC, said: “Gladiators is back and a whole new generation of viewers can now look forward to watching a Saturday night spectacle like no other".
