And they need a longer series so we can have more than 20 total contenders. Basically, I want more, more, more.

"Jamie, you're a chunky ex-runner from Manchester? " Jamie: "Yeah, I liked to run but mostly I like to Fetch" Host: "And Jonnie, you're a decorated Paralympic champion, two Olympic gold medals. Do you think you've got what it takes to beat our chunky northern monkey?" Jamie: "Ulp"

We had Frank Bruno's daughter take part this year but I don't think she made that much of it. Bearded Joe was about the closest to 'look at me' in the men's competition. Legend can be amusing but he's starting to get annoying like he was at the start of last year's series. Has Viper actually won a contest - easily the weakest link and should be replaced. Hammer is starting to show a bit of personality and might start gaining popularity next year.

Sorry to the rest of the home nations but it's only going to be in four English cities: gladiatorstv.com My son asked if I wanted to get tickets for our family. However, I think I would probably have done so in the 1990s but not nowadays.

Lewis sticking his tongue out all the time and snogging his wife says you're wrong about Beardy Joe Comments on Facebook are scathing about Aneila and a lack of sportsmanship - can't say I noticed that and do wonder what they might have against the vocally Muslim contender...
