Get ready for the new Gladiators

The new Gladiators strike a pose: Warrior, Cyclone, Doom, Siren, Goliath and Amazon. Lycra seems to have lost some of its sheen for the costume designers, and the warriors now sport Roman-style outfits Photograph: Sky

AMAZON - Zoe Williams, 28, Burnley - 'Regal and Amazonian, nature's powerful force runs through her veins' Photograph: Sky

CYCLONE - Donna Williams, 28, Bury St Edmunds - 'Fast and furious, Cyclone leaves destruction all around her' Photograph: Sky

DOOM - Wayne Gordon, 38, London - 'Mere mortals beware, there's a dark cloud that looms, judgment day is afoot and Doom is your worst nightmare' Photograph: Sky

GOLIATH - Barri Griffiths, 26, north Wales - 'A man-mountain with brute force. As frightening to look at as he is unstoppable. Contenders will always be in his shadow - because his shadow's so big!' Photograph: Sky

SIREN - Amy Guy, 25, Wrexham - 'The goddess of perilous seduction, expect no mercy. She will entice any contender into the waters and show how dangerous she can be' Photograph: Sky

WARRIOR - Daniel Singh, 21, Durham - 'A savage beast who takes no prisoner. A warrior in name and nature with a fearful battle cry' Photograph: Sky

Wolf - real name Michael Van Wijk - is to join the show as full-time team manager after appearing in a one-off special, Gladiators - The Legends Return. Mostly based in New Zealand, he also runs an indoor kids' play centre called Chipmunks Playground and Cafe. He said: 'I was blown away by the buzz I felt competing in the Gladiators arena again. It was like I’d never been away. The audience was phenomenal and clearly wanted more of the Wolfman. And now I'm back as manager, and I'm in charge!' Photograph: Sky

New co-host Caroline Flack - who replaces Kirsty Gallagher - is pictured with Ian Wright and team manager Wolf. Flack said: 'I'm so excited to be involved in the new series of Gladiators. The show has captured the public's attention all over again with a whole host of new fans, amazing athletes and a healthy dose of lycra. It's great to be able to play a part in something that's struck a chord with so many people over the years. I can't wait to get stuck in' Photograph: Sky

Veteran boxing referee John Coyle is set to take over from original ref John Anderson. Coyle said: 'It’s an honour to be asked to officiate in the Gladiators arena. It will be tough, and I’m sure the likes of Wolf and Oblivion will try and give me the runaround, but I’m up to the job. If I can handle Tyson, Calzaghe, Bruno and Eubank, I can handle Wolf and Oblivion. I won’t tolerate any funny business' Photograph: Sky
