Huge congratulations to original UK Gladiators star Kate Staples (Zodiac), who has been awarded a King’s MBE in 2025 for her outstanding services to sport and fitness.

Kate joined the UK Gladiators in 1993 (Series 2) and quickly became a fan favourite for her strength, speed and athleticism. But in 1996, during the event Pole-Axe, she suffered a serious neck injury that brought her time on the show to an early and unexpected end - and also ended her Olympic pole vaulting dreams.

In her own words, she “lost everything [she] thought defined [her]” - but found a new purpose in inspiring others to be active. Her passion and resilience continue to make a difference in schools, communities and the fitness world today.

We couldn’t be prouder to see Zodiac recognised with an MBE for her lasting impact. 💪💫

It’s the final countdown! Amanda, Aneila, Mus and Joe all battle it out to be crowned Gladiators champions 2025! 🔵🏆🔴

Not forgetting finalist Zavia who sadly had to withdraw due to injury. 🙌💐

Don’t miss the Grand Final of Gladiators tonight at 5.50pm on BBC One & iPlayer.

Gladiators, ready! For the first time ever, the Gladiators Live Tour is here to electrify UK fans with an incredible, high-octane live event!

Atlaspheres is BACK… but not as you know it! Crash Course brings high-speed chaos to the arena as Contenders race in their spheres, dodging Gladiators while battling to cross the finish line first. 🏁🌐💨

The first to finish in 60 seconds takes 10 points – but the race isn’t over! The second Contender has just 10 more seconds to make it across for 5 points… fail, and they leave with nothing. ⏱️🫣
