Cowell is ITV's new Gladiator
SKY...ready! ITV...ready! It’s the battle of the leotards.
Simon Cowell is making a new show to rival Sky’s Gladiators, The Sun can reveal.
The multi-millionaire’s TV company Syco is producing a huge arena competition for ITV1.
ITV sources says the show, which is as yet unnamed, will attempt to rival Sky One’s revamped Gladiators.
It will be a modern take on Gladiators, including interactive and video gaming elements.
An ITV insider said: “ITV bosses were offered Gladiators, but turned it down in favour of Simon’s idea.
“The two shows are going to war.”
As we revealed, Sky One have bought the rights to ITV’s former hit after it became a smash in the US recently.
They are now looking for hosts and Ian Wright is being tipped as one of the presenters.
Gladiators will launch in the summer.
And we can also reveal that Gladiators original referee John Anderton has also signed up to return to the Sky show.
