Joel Dommett drops massive hint he’s signed up for celebrity version of Gladiators as he flexes his muscles
JOEL Dommett has dropped a massive hint he’s signed up for the celebrity version of Gladiators as he flexed his muscles for a snap.
The 38-year-old took to Instagram in a white vest as he furiously tensed his toned biceps.
TV presenter Joel refered to the show and one of the hosts in his caption, writing: “Ultimately we all just want to be a Gladiator and be hugged by Bradley Walsh.”
One fan commented: “You doing the celeb version?”
Whilst another added: “Look at those guns.”
“He’s winning the mens, money in the bank,” penned a third.
A fourth wrote: “Totally would sign up for Gladiators if you was one.”
Over the last few years, Joel has quickly become one of the most in demand prime time TV presenters.
As well as fronting shows like The Masked Singer and The Masked Dancer, he’s also presented the National Television Awards and Survivor.
Joel’s career really took off after he starred in I’m a Celebrity in 2016.
It’s evident that the star maintains his fitness regimen. Joel, who’s married to model Hannah Cooper, has previously admitted to enjoying running and crossfit, as well as staying on top of his diet.
Earlier this year, Gladiators was rebooted by BBC One as they revived the iconic sports entertainment show that ran between 1992 and 2000.
The Gladiatrors grand final in March saw Finlay Anderson snatch the crown for the men’s division and Marie-Louise Nicholson take victory for the women’s.
Due to the success of the show and the boom in ratings, the BBC have announced a celebrity spin-off last month.
Speaking about Gladiators during an appearance on BBC Radio 4, Dan, chief of Hungry Bear Media who make the show, said: “I can reveal we are going to do a celebrity special.
“You always look at old shows that are no longer on television. You are always coming up with new ways of bringing back a show.
“There is nothing wrong with that because those shows were great for a reason.
“As well as coming up with new ideas, we’ve always got one eye on what could come back and what could be a hit like Gladiators is.”
Father and son duo Bradley and Barney Walsh are set to return to host the new series.
