The youngest Gladiator was just a teenager when he nervously entered the arena as Hunter, but immediately attracted a legion of fans.

For our third episode, Hunter tells how he trained twice a day for a year to change his impressive body-builder’s physique to become a mighty Gladiator and eventually the Ultimate Gladiator.

He ate, drank and slept The Wall, his favourite piece of kit, to ensure he would always come out on top. But his Gladiators career wasn’t without pain as he dislocated his shoulder six times! James also reveals how he was reduced to tears before he even started life as a fearsome Gladiator.
