Gladiators has been a "lifelong" dream for Legend.
Gladiators, ready? Contenders, ready? The famous Saturday night game show is back for a second season!

Matt 'Legend' Morisa is a former Championship bronze medal-winning long and triple jumper, and silver medal-winning powerlifter.
He's also a fitness YouTuber with more than 1.1 million followers on Instagram, and his own fitness business and app, Morsia.
Legend can triple jump over 50 feet, that's longer than a double decker bus, and has an impressive bicep size of 40cm.
He wanted to become a Gladiator because he thought he'd be "really good" at it, as well as it always being a "life goal" of his. He joined the show in season 1.
"I watched the original Gladiators as a kid," he explained. "From the age of nine or 10 years old, I wanted to be a Gladiator. It's been a lifelong ambition, I guess."
He is married to wife Sarah, who is the managing director of his fitness business, and together they have two children.
Gladiators returns on Saturday 18th January at 5:50pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
