Not least the mighty Gladiators themselves.

So who's made it to the final so far? When will we get to see who's crowned champion? And which Gladiators will they have to face off against along the way?

Read on to find out...

Who is in the Gladiators 2025 final?

This series has been full of brand new events and some epic moments

After the first semi-final, two contenders emerged victorious after five tough events.

First into the final was Amanda, a gym owner from Warrington, who secured an 18-point Powerball record, putting her at the top of the table.

Gladiator Fury said that she was "in awe - that's the best contender I've ever come across in Powerball, so much credit for that."

Following her into the final was gymnast Joe F from Scarborough.

Final four - Mus, Amanda, Aneila Afsar and Joe

In the second semi-final, it was victory for personal trainer Zavia from Manchester and Mus, a youth worker from London.

But it wasn't all smiles for Zavia as she got a leg injury during the show, which means she now can't compete in the final.

As a result, the fastest female runner-up from the semi-finals, Aneila, also from Manchester, will take her place.

Which Gladiators will be in the 2025 final?

We know which contenders will feature in the final, but which Gladiators won't be attending?

Giant has been out of the series since the final heats after an injury, and so will be resting and recovering.

Nitro has also missed the series due to injury, but has instead been playing tricks on his fellow Gladiators as part of CBBC show Epic Pranks.

This season has seen new recruits Cyclone and Hammer join the Gladiators.

When is the Gladiators 2025 final?

The Gladiators 2025 grand final will be shown on Saturday 12 April on BBC One.

It's a big day for fans of Saturday night TV, as the first episode of the new season of Doctor Who is due to be released on the same day.

With Ncuti Gatwa returning as the Doctor, joined by Varada Sethu in the role of new companion Belinda Chandra, it looks to be another epic voyage through time and space.
