- Gladiators star Giant, real name Jamie Bigg, claims he was dropped from the BBC reboot of the show after informing producers about his relationship with an OnlyFans model.
- Bigg expressed his surprise and disappointment at the decision, describing the BBC's views as “archaic” and stating he felt 'let down' by certain individuals and teams.
- He explained that concealing his partner Taylor Ryan's profession would not align with his values of honesty and being a role model, emphasising his pride in her and her charity work.
- The BBC and production company Hungry Bear confirmed Giant's departure after three series, thanking him for his contributions and wishing him well for the future, without specifying the reason for his exit.
