Gladiators: Ex-star Hawk says remake lacks female presenter

A former Gladiator who starred in the original series 30 years ago said he was impressed with the remake of the popular show.

Alex Georgijev, who played Hawk, now owns a gym in Caerphilly and said it was "difficult to get crowds in" when the first series was filmed.

"There were empty seats everywhere because nobody knew what it was."

He praised the new Gladiator characters, but believes the line-up should have included a female presenter.
