TV hosts Rochelle Humes and Chris Kamara have confessed that a former Gladiator star “didn’t do very well” on the Ninja Warrior UK obstacle course.
The bubbly duo, who present the ITV show alongside Ben Shephard, shared their thoughts on the current series which sees contestants from across the UK compete for the chance to be crowned the fittest Ninja Warrior.
With a similar format style to 90s programme The Gladiators, willing participants who are up for the challenge are faced with an array of obstacle courses, aimed to test their strength and agility.

Chris said: “I heard today that Gladiators is coming back. Great iconic show you know back in the day, but we had some gladiators on the Ninja first series and they didn’t do very well.”
Rochelle added: “You’re right I forgot about that, we’ll just leave that there shall we?”
Chris also shared that he believes the Ninja Warrior obstacle course is “a lot harder” than the former Gladiators course to which This Morning star Rochelle agreed while describing it as a “beast”.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “The BBC love the idea of having a unique duo fronting Gladiators and that’s what hiring a father and son gives them.
