Today, the four stars will film the episode — a spin-off of the original Gladiators contest — with the finished show set to air later this year.
A TV insider said: '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.'
In the previous BBC One special, comedians Rob Beckett, 39, Joel Dommett, 40, and Ellie Taylor, 41, and news host Louise Minchin, 56, competed against the elite athletes.
Now Vogue, who won the first series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive, will be among those to face the Gladiators.
She has three children with her husband, reality star Spencer Matthews, who broke the record for completing 30 marathons in 30 days last year.
Meanwhile Body Coach Joe Wicks, who is married to former Page Three model Rosie Jones, will be cheered on by their three children.
During the Covid pandemic, he led online fitness classes.
Strictly star Nicola, who won gold at the London and Rio Olympics before retiring, promises to pack a punch.
And Sam, crowned King of the Jungle in 2023, has been throwing himself into his fitness regime since his split with ex-girlfriend, former Love Islander Zara McDermott.
Two new Gladiators revealed as British rowing champ and super strong weightlifter
He has previously run the London Marathon.
Filming of the regular Gladiators, now on its third series since its reboot on BBC One, takes place over the next week at Sheffield Arena.
It will be out early next year with Bradley Walsh and son Barney returning to host.
The second edition of Celebrity Gladiators will air just before.

Kneecap apology to fans as Vienna concert cancelled due to ‘safety concerns'
It comes after the group were banned from entering Hungary in July ahead of their scheduled performance at Sziget Festival on August 11. The group, known for their provocative lyrics and championing of the Irish language, have had several shows cancelled in recent months, including TRNSMT festival in Glasgow and at the Eden Project in Cornwall. They have said there is a smear campaign against them because of their support for Palestine and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza. In a social media post on Friday the group said: 'Our planned show in Vienna on September 1st is cancelled.' The social media post added: 'To the 3500 people we were looking forward to seeing at our first headline show in Vienna, we are sorry: this is out of our hands. 'All tickets will be refunded. 'Yet again, it is clear that this is political distraction and a further attempt to silence those who call out genocide against the Palestinian people. 'But as always, we will fight on for what is right.' A note on the venues website said: 'Racoon Live Entertainment GmbH hereby cancels the planned Kneecap show on September 1, 2025, at the Gasometer Vienna due to acute safety concerns raised by the responsible authorities.' Kneecap, comprised of Liam Og O hAnnaidh, Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh, were formed in Belfast and released their first single in 2017. They hit headlines in April when footage emerged that appeared to show a band member saying 'Kill your local MP' at one gig and and 'Up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at another. In May, O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terrorism offence relating to allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a London gig in November 2024. O hAnnaidh and his bandmates were cheered by hundreds of supporters when they arrived at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18. Musicians including Nadine Shah and Gurriers have said they will attend court to support the group when O hAnnaidh returns on August 20. Kneecap have apologised to the families of murdered MPs and said they have 'never supported' Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned in the UK. They were also investigated over their set at Glastonbury Festival in June, but Avon and Somerset Police said they would be taking no further action in July.

Luke Littler jumping for joy at Australian Darts Master after experiencing ‘things that we probably won't ever do again'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LUKE LITTLER hopes he is jumping for joy at the Australian Darts Masters – after a day feeding kangaroos and cuddling koalas. The Nuke made hard work of his first appearance Down Under this summer as he eventually knocked out New Zealander Haupai Puha 6-5 following minimal practice. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Luke Littler visited a zoo with Faith Millar Credit: Instagram @lukethenukelittler 4 He is set to compete in the Australian Darts Masters Credit: Getty The round-one tie went to a deciding leg and Littler, 18, averaged only 91.80 – well below his best – and squandered 13 of his 19 checkout attempts. Being nine hours ahead of the UK, the jetlag has been an issue since he arrived in the country and he said he needed a decent kip. Yet he has tried to make most of the popular tourist attractions, visiting Sydney's Opera House and then seeing the exotic animals at the Wollongong Zoo with girlfriend Faith. Littler said: 'How's the jetlag? Oh, it's awful. Same as last year. Not slept too much over here.

I feel okay now. Hopefully, I will sleep well. 'I went to the Opera. I went to the zoo in Wollongong. There were koala bears, we fed kangaroos, fed goats, and yeah, there were just loads of them all. 'I think for us players, I think it's good to get out of the hotel. 'Like 85-90% of the time, we're just stuck in a hotel, so it's good to get out and experience things that we probably won't ever do again.' SUN VEGAS WELCOME OFFER: GET £50 BONUS WHEN YOU JOIN Wellington-born Puha, 40, will be kicking himself for not knocking out wasteful Littler, especially as he led 2-0 and 4-3 in the race to six legs and threw first in the decider The world No.94, who is set to lose his Tour Card, averaged 88.29 as Littler, like he did during his World Matchplay-winning run, started off sluggishly. Luke Littler hits sensational nine-darter to send Blackpool darts crowd wild His record of never losing in the first round of one of these global tournaments remains intact – for now at least. There is a determination to lift this £30,000 World Series of Darts crown given he was pumped 8-1 in the final 12 months ago by Gerwyn Price. Littler – who now plays top Aussie Damon Heta – said: 'It was a slow start but that's what happens when you don't practise from the Matchplay. Not picked up a dart. 'It wasn't the best from myself. That's what happens in the first game, it's not always the prettiest. I had to grind it out. 4 Littler beat New Zealander Haupai Puha Credit: Getty 4 Luke Humphries will play Belgian ace Mike De Decker Credit: Getty 'It's never easy against anyone and it's always good to just get off to a good start. 'I've just been chilling out and doing what I usually do. But now I'm here, it's down to work.' Luke Humphries's lack of match practice showed as he came from behind to beat New Zealander Jonny Tata 6-3. When the world No.1 nailed the winning double five, he pointed to the skies but he declined to elaborate on the meaning. Asked about the significance of his actions, Cool Hand Luke said: 'Yeah, I can't talk about it right now. You'll find out. It's just bad news today that's all. 'I will enjoy these events with my dad. It's been hard for my dad recently. 'He has been going through a lot with other things that everyone will find out about soon. 'It has not been easy for him. So, it's nice to come over here and have a bit of time out. 'I'm on holiday straightaway, for 10 days, after I come back from New Zealand. After that I will put the practice in.' Humphries, 30, now plays Belgian Mike De Decker, who complained about the cold conditions in his 6-2 win over Australian Brandon Weening. The Real Deal, who averaged a pitiful 80.33, says he will wash his hands in hot water before the quarter-final clash, over the best of 11 legs, on Saturday at the WIN Entertainment Centre. No.1 seed Stephen Bunting will play Josh Rock and Gerwyn Price, who wore an Australia gold-coloured shirt, faces Chris Dobey in the other quarters as all eight PDC stars progressed.
