Gladiators in chaos as FOUR stars are injured during filming for new BBC series
Gladiators is in chaos after four of the athletes were are injured during filming for the new series. Professionals, Legend, Diamond, Bionic and Athena, have all suffered injuries during the competition, which is set to be aired in January 2026. Filming began last month at Utilita Arena in Sheffield with Bradley Walsh and his son Barney returning to host. Diamond (Livi Sheldon) has suffered a knee injury, rupturing her ACL and MCL during filming. Legend (Matt Morsia) has tore a bicep, while Bionic (Matty Campbell) dislocated his shoulder and Athena (Karenjeet Kaur Bains) also injured her knee. A source told The Sun: 'Gladiators is the ultimate test of speed, strength and endurance - and four of its champions have paid the price.' They added: 'It just goes to show that these games are tough and even our professionals can suffer injuries.' Meanwhile the upcoming series of Celebrity Gladiators will come out just before the civilian one. A new batch of super fit celebrities are set to take on the Gladiators in a battle of strength and skill. The reboot of Gladiators was a smash hit when it aired last year, and a celebrity spin-off was quickly commissioned, featuring comedians and gym lovers. But this year the casting team have stepped it up and found four stars who can definitely give the Gladiators a run for their money. The Sun reported last month that model Vogue Williams will be joined on the show by fitness guru Joe Wicks, former Olympic boxer Nicola Adams, and gym-obsessed I'm A Celeb winner Sam Thompson. Vogue won the first series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive and regularly shares fitness tips and workout videos with her Instagram followers. Meanwhile Joe dominated British TV screens during Covid thanks to his at-home workout clips, and reality star Sam often shares his gym progress. Former Olympian Nicola could however prove the one to beat, after retiring undefeated in 2019 and becoming the first female boxer to become an Olympic champion after winning gold at London 2012. A source told the publication: 'Last year, producers of the debut celebrity version played it for laughs with three comedians taking part — with hilarious results for viewers. 'But this year they've assembled four celebrities who can give the Gladiators a serious run for their money, and serve up a clash to savour. The first series of Celebrity Gladiators saw Joel Dommett and Ellie Taylor crowned the winners after a tense finale.

Guy Pearce set to play Rupert Murdoch in Danny Boyle-directed drama
Danny Boyle is set to direct an adaptation of award-winning play Ink, based on the rise of the Rupert Murdoch empire. According to Deadline, Guy Pearce is in talks to take on the lead role with Jack O'Connell also in negotiations to star as Larry Lamb, who Murdoch hired to run the Sun in the late 1960s. The film will be written by original playwright James Graham, whose other screen credits include recent TV drama Brian and Maggie. Ink was a critical hit after it premiered on stage in 2017 going on to win an Olivier award and two Tonys. The Guardian's Michael Billington called it a 'gripping piece of theatre'. Murdoch previously referred to Boyle as 'a creative genius' on social media after the London Olympics opening ceremony. He also claimed it was 'a little too politically correct'. Boyle recently returned to the zombie franchise he helped to create with 28 Years Later, a box office success earlier this summer making $150m worldwide. The film featured O'Connell in the final scenes and he will be a more prominent feature in the sequel out next year. Boyle is attached to make the as-yet-confirmed third film dependent on the success of the second which will also see the return of Cillian Murphy. O'Connell also recently starred in Ryan Coogler's smash hit horror Sinners and will also soon be seen in Godzilla x Kong: Supernova. Pearce received his first Oscar nomination this year for Brady Corbet's The Brutalist and will soon be seen alongside Keira Knightley in mystery thriller The Woman in Cabin 10 and Ridley Scott's The Dog Stars.

I'm as likely renew my vows as to try the new hot husbanding trend
I have been giving some thought to renewing my wedding vows. Yes, do congratulate me. And maybe think about a gift? John Lewis vouchers are always nice. It'll be a small affair — about 200 guests, a photogenic lake, lots of flattering speeches about me, me, me. Naturally I'll release a few doves for the optimal Instagram aesthetic. Sorry did I say some thought? I meant no thought. None whatsoever. I would be as likely to renew my vows as I would to practise 'hot husbanding'. No clue? This is another tiresome trend apparently growing in popularity (sceptical face). It is when a wife finds their husband so 'hot' that it arouses her to watch him having no-strings sex with a woman of her choosing but at no point getting involved. Well. If I had to sit on a hardback chair watching my husband's buttocks bobbing away atop a stranger it'd put me off coitus for life. It's why I've never gone for a mirrored ceiling.
