BBC Gladiators contestant stuns with very X-rated joke minutes into show

Bradley Walsh was left scrambling to retain control on Gladiators as a contestant made a very cheeky comment. The hit BBC revival is back for a second season - with a batch of new contenders taking to the stadium for the second heat. A number of hopefuls went up against athletic Gladiators such as Athena, Dynamite and Giant in the hope of making it through to the next round and the chance to win the official show trophy.
On Saturday night, a contestant named Joe took to the ring to begin his attempt in the latest round of challenges - and show host Bradley, 64, was on hand to introduce him to the audience. But there was gasps and burst of laughter when Joe was asked a simple question that provoked a suggestive answer.
With a hand around the contender, Bradley said: "Joe, welcome. Welcome. We’ve got some fans in, Joe." The then cameras cut to the audience - with many shown wearing t-shirts and holding boards containing messages of encouragement to Joe and some even sporting fake beards to mirror his natural bushy facial hair.
Looking at his supporters, Joe confirmed: "Yeah, that’s my lot over there." Bradley then remarked: "And they’ve got their false beards." But Joe replied: "Yeah, not quite like this one, though.". Agreeing, Bradley said: "That’s a corker, that." He then pressed on, saying: "Now, listen. If you were a Gladiator, then, what would your name be?" It was a question Bradley may have come to regret as Joe cheekily replied: “My brother gave me an idea. He said I’d be called The Penetrator.” As the audience burst into laughter, Bradley did what he could to restore decorum, telling the contender to “Watch it.”.
