A message from a very special lady…❤️ What you all probably enjoyed most about Gladiators’s…😂👏🏻 Genuinely I was an emotional mess last night and even watching this it’s making me tear up! I am so grateful I could bring Christine the trophy home for her mantle piece! This means the world to me in lots of personal ways but i’m so happy I got to give it my all infront of the woman who has done everything for me growing up! Hope you enjoy this! ❤️ Thanks Christine!! You inspire me every single day! #gladiators #christinegladiators #bbcgladiators

@Matty Campbell - Bionic 🦾 No other words for this man of metal other than he’s massive and a great guy! Although I think I preferred when he was contained in a caged ball!

What were we watching?🫣❤️ It’s been a busy few weeks preparing for the Semi-Final of @bbcgladiators I never thought I’d get to this stage…but grateful to have made it this far! Workouts been done, tea and biscuits Consumed. As always, this is for the gymnasts, those who have faced adversity and anyone who needs a reason to keep going! You are not alone! Let’s do this!❤️ Will forever be grateful of the memories Gladiators has given me with my family and Christine! Tomorrow BBC One 5:50pm #gladiators #bbcgladiators

I can’t quite put into words what it means to be a finalist on gladiators, maybe that’s one for tomorrow… What I can say is I had the absolute best time with @joeholroyde this guy for me is the epitome of what the show is all about. Besides being a beast, he is also the nicest, friendliest, strong and Heartwarming guy. What a show we had! We had such a blast out there and I’m so glad to have done it beside you brother! This was a memory that I will hold very close to my heart. That was a tough battle and resulted in me having to hop around that eliminator! But we did it, time to try to recover… I’M IN THE FINAL OF GLADIATORS!!!!!!!!!! #gladiators #bbcgladiators @bbcgladiators

I can’t quite put into words what making it to the Gladiators grand final means to me. I set out on this journey to share with the world my positive take on adversity, my amazing grandma Christine and to try to inspire gymnasts and young athletes throughout the country to go after their dreams, no matter what life throws at them. I preach this to the gymnasts I work with and getting the opportunity on the show has given me a chance to back it up! I can’t thank everyone enough for their support and positive comments! What a show we had last night and I can’t tell you just quite how fun that was!! Joe and I have exactly the same message, we both want to inspire those who face challenge whatever that may be! One thing I promise you, that I will give my all in that final no matter the bumps or bruises I may have sustained… Now to rest up for the final! #GYMNASTREAADDDYYYYYYYYY #gladiators #bbcgladiators #gladiators @Gladiators

Semi-finals of @bbcgladiators pending…😅😳💪🏻 @roddymackay50 has been putting me through my paces and we have been working hard…and most of all having lots of fun! So grateful to have such a legend in my corner! Wonder what events I will face in the semis…hopefully not duel! #gladiators #gymnast #bbcgladiators #gymnastjoe #gymnastics

Gladiators champion 2025😳🤯❤️ I have no words! I set out on this mission to try and inspire the next generation, share my story of adversity and share with the world the people who have done so much to give me all of the amazing opportunities in life, I never thought it would end like this. Before me and @holistik.mustik set off on that eliminator we had both won, this experience and sharing our passion for trying to inspire the next generation within our fields is something we hold dearly! Thanks an incredible competition brother! One of my biggest messages is about enjoying the journey as my gymnastics career taught me this is often the best part and I’m proud to say this was the most amazing, challenging and incredible experience I’ve ever had…and I enjoyed and was grateful for every second! I went into this thinking that if I just get to compete on one show, that is the biggest win! I want to thank everybody who was involved in the show, I have had nothing but the most amazing, life changing experience and I will hold these memories close to my heart forever! I know this is a TV show but I genuinely believe what it does for the kids and people in our society is seriously special and I definitely underestimated it before being involved in it! The Gladiators are some of my biggest idols and it was an honour to get to go against them! They are incredible athletes and event greater genuine people! 🙌🏻 All of the coaches, people and friends who have helped guide me throughout life so far and my amazing family. But most importantly, I want to thank Christine, the reason why I do everything and the person who gives me motivation to continue pushing forwards even when the going gets tough. My dear late mum Clare, I hope you are proud up there! Hopefully they have BBC One in heaven, the internet is great nowadays if not! 😂😇 We did good, we did good, Clare and Christine!❤️ Once this really sinks in I’m sure I’ll have more to say! WHAT THE HELL!!!!! AHHHHHHH! @bbcgladiators #gladiators #bbcgladiators #gladiatorschamp

Semi final of @bbcgladiators pending…Let’s do this💪🏻 Not quite sure how we are here but one things for sure, I’ve never been more grateful for this opportunity and you bet I will be going FULL SEND for the gymnasts out there!

Where it all began… @scarboroughgymnastics 😳❤️ This gymnastics club was a massive part of my childhood and still is something I hold very dearly to me! The impact coaches and the sport of gymnastics has on so many peoples lives young and old is incredible and drives me to continue spreading my experiences with the next generation!

I even managed to bump in one of British televisions legends… @larrylambofficial What a day! ❤️ #gladiators #bbcgladiators #champions

Being able to share our story with the world over the last few weeks has been one my proudest moments and something I will cherish forever. We sat and discussed how if we got the chance to share our story and that if one person saw it and was inspired or it helped them through a tough time it was something we had to do! From that moment I knew I had to give it my all❤️ To all those who are missing a mother figure and those whose mothers maybe look a little different or are no longer with us. Keep your head up, keep smiling! Always❤️😇

We did it mum! Christine and I shared our story with the world! ❤️ Forever grateful for this incredible opportunity! #gladiators #bbcgladiators #gymnastjoe #gladiatorschampion
