Football commentator, Guy Mowbray, has signed up to the BBC reboot of Gladiators.
Mowbray will be calling in all the action for the gameshow which is being filmed in Sheffield.
“It’s an absolute joy to be the voice of such an iconic show. The Saturday night memories will come flooding back for many, whilst it’s brilliant to think of a new generation being introduced to an all new, even more ripped group of Gladiators!” he said.
“They are serious athletes, as are all the contenders who’ve been bold enough to take them on. The best thing for me is that the format is the same as it ever was – only better!”
Mowbray has been behind the mic for BBC Sport at the Africa Cup of Nations, European Championship, FA Cup and Premier League. He also features on the new EA Sports FC 24 game.
“We are delighted to have the iconic voice of Guy Mowbray onboard. Guy calls the action like no other commentator, he is top of his game. His commentary is going to add another exhilarating layer to Gladiators,” added Hungry Bear Executive Producer, Dan Baldwin.
The 11 x 60 minute series is a Hungry Bear and MGM Alternative UK for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
