Gladiators contender claims unwanted record before reaching semi-finals
Gladiators quarter-finalist Mus has set an unwanted record on the BBC gameshow.
Taking to the Collision bridge on Saturday, 1 March, the nifty contender went up against man-mountains Bionic, Viper, Phantom and Steel in a bid to add 10 more points to his tally, following rival Joe's two-pointer effort.
Sadly for him, though, Mus was pushed onto the crash mats in a matter of seconds, earning no points whatsoever.
Speaking to the surprisingly unbothered contender, co-host Bradley Walsh was forced to point out something Mus didn't need to hear at that moment.
"Mus, just let to you know: you have set a Collision record," he said.
"You got knocked off in 4.4 seconds..."

Not one to get disheartened, the Gladiators star replied: "I'll take that. Any record is better than no record, so why not?"
Next, Mus went on to steamroll through The Wall - leaving an embittered Bionic to make 'mum jokes' on the ground - before eventually beating Joe at the final Eliminator stage.
He became the first official 2025 semi-finalist on the night.
After smashing Mus to pieces on Duel during his big debut, newcomer Hammer (real name Tom Wilson) told the Sheffield Arena crowd that his "business is taking down contenders."
On social media, Gladiators viewers were simultaneously amused by his apparent similarity to Joe Wicks and impressed with Hammer's skills.
"I think #Hammer will be a great new [addition] to the show," wrote one person on X.
"I thought Hammer was Pete Wicks for a minute," added another.
He looks like Wolf and Joe Wicks mixed together #gladiators

She also paired the look with black sunglasses and high heels and wore her blonde hair in an old-fashioned updo with curled bangs. She was photographed in the chic look as she signed vinyls for fans in New York. The actress posted photos of her daring outfit on Instagram with the caption, "Posed with the beautiful people who showed up at 30 Rock for @roughtradenyc." Fans were quick to flood the comments section with compliments.

The visual album also includes a corresponding musical movie, which is set to be released in theaters everywhere on June 27. When it comes to the visuals, Cyrus told Harper's Bazaar, they were "inspired by Pink Floyd's 'The Wall,'" and set out to make it only with "a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture." She also explained that when putting together the songs, it was vital to her "that every song has these healing sound properties," as the album as a whole represents the different phases of her life.

Lulu insists she has always been very a 'private' person she reflects on childhood 'shame'
Lulu has always been a "very private" person. The 76-year-old singer shot to fame as a teenager in the 1960s with her now-signature song Shout but insisted that "nobody knows" who she really is because she has always been "very careful" when it comes to choosing what she reveals about herself. Speaking on BBC's The One Show, she said: "A friend of mine once said to me 'People think they know Lulu, but nobody knows you...' and I think it's partly to do with the fact that I come from a Scottish mother who said 'Don't wash your dirty linen in public!' "So I was very...I've always been very careful, very private. I'm chatty, but I keep a lot of things to myself, so now I'm talking about everything." The Eurovision star is heading out on tour across the UK in October to discuss her life, and explained that she has only decided to do so now because she comes from a generation where there was "a lot of shame" associated with talking about issues but things have since changed. She said: "This is mainly because the landscape has changed. When I was young, when my mother was young, you didn't talk [about things]. Everything was a secret, and there was a lot of shame because you didn't talk about stuff but today talk about things and I think it's healthier. Some overshare, but hopefully I won't! All the ups and downs I've had - and I've had a life, let's put it like that - I've had an amazing, amazing life but I've also had certain things in my life that I've never discussed. "When I go on stage, on my tour, I'm gonna have very special people ask questions on stage about my life, and I'm gonna reveal stuff, how I've come through certain things. "Maybe people can relate to it, and if I've managed to come through it, maybe it will help someone else. That's the way it is today and it is so much healthier."
