The likes of Matt Le Tissier and Fatima Whitbread will battle it out for Eternal Glory in ITV's new series.
Eight sporting stars will face off against each other in a series of challenges for the new show, which begins next month.

Richard Bacon hosts the series, with sports scientist and Olympian Professor Greg Whyte providing expert analysis.
The sporting greats will have their mental and physical strength, agility, strategy and skill tested over the course of six one-hour episodes.
Each show will conclude with a 'night duel' in which the two lowest scoring athletes go head-to-head to decide who stays in the competition. One athlete will leave at the end of each show until the champion of the series is crowned.

We were bowled over to discover that Blaze (Eunice Huthart) is a stunt double to A-listers and godmother to Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh, and that Rhino (Mark Smith) went on to star in Hollywood films including Ben Affleck's Oscar-winning drama Argo.
But whatever happened to the villainous Wolf or the infamous Shadow, who was dramatically sacked from the series? We haven't found many current pictures of this lot, but here's a little bit about what 9 more of our favourite former Gladiators got up to after their time on the show:
