Three original Gladiators stars have reunited to discuss the iconic nineties ITV gameshow.
Hunter, Panther and Saracen appeared on Good Morning Britain today (August 17) and revealed which challenge they feared the most during filming.
Here are Gladiators' 12 best games, from Hang Tough to The Wall
Hunter (real name James Crossley) said: "The Pole-Axe was a bit of a dreader, wasn't it? The American Gladiators refused to do it."
Saracen (Mike Lewis) explained: "We had individual poles, and the first one to the top hit a button and the contender falls off. But it was a 40ft free fall."
Crossley described the challenge as a "lose-lose scenario" as even if they won the competition they would still have to fall.
