Gladiators won't air next weekend as BBC adjusts TV schedule
Viewers will have to wait a little longer before the end of the series.
The highly anticipated second semi-final of Gladiators is missing from BBC One schedules next weekend due to the channel's FA Cup coverage.
The competition series has been entertaining viewers since January, with father and son duo Bradley and Barney Walsh helming the series as they watch members of the public attempt to take on a new group of Gladiators.
There are just three episodes left, but there will be a slight delay.
Based on the BBC's TV schedules, Gladiators does not appear on Saturday 16th March as the FA Cup quarter-final match between Manchester City and Newcastle United will air in the usual Gladiators spot from 5:10pm to 7:40pm.
