Who won the Gladiators celebrity special 2024?

As a seasoned viewer and ardent fan of Gladiators, having grown up watching the original series, this celebrity special was a delightful throwback to my youth. Seeing Ellie Taylor and Joel Dommett emerge as winners was particularly satisfying, given their impressive performances and the fierce competition they faced.

Ellie’s victory was especially heartening, considering her recent parenthood and the challenges that come with it. Her quip about her pelvic floor holding out better than expected is a testament to her resilience and humor – something I’ve always admired in her work.

Joel Dommett, on the other hand, displayed an unwavering determination and bravery, conquering his fear of heights to claim the title of ‘The Dominator’. His humility and camaraderie with Rob during their intense competition were truly inspiring.

In a world where celebrities often seem distant, it was refreshing to see these stars embrace the spirit of Gladiators and push themselves to the limit, all while maintaining their humor and grace. It just goes to show that even in the face of adversity, we can still have fun and make the most of every situation.

And as for a little joke to lighten things up, I couldn’t help but chuckle when I heard Ellie credit her pelvic floor for her win – because let’s be honest, if that doesn’t deserve an MVP award, I don’t know what does!

In the special edition of Gladiators featuring celebrities, four well-known personalities stepped into the arena; however, only two managed to emerge victorious.

To commence the fresh start of the year, Ellie Taylor (star of Ted Lasso and stand-up comedian), comedian and podcast host Rob Beckett, newsreader Louise Minchin, and The Masked Singer’s Joel Dommett aimed to demonstrate their abilities by competing against the best.

Competing against some of the UK’s toughest and fastest athletes, the four of them all aimed to leave an impression by pushing their physical abilities to the limit on the show.

After a brutal string of games, Ellie Taylor and Joel Dommett emerged as this year’s winners.

In their intense battle against each other, Joel held a slight advantage over Rob, scoring 17 points compared to his 16. In the ultimate test known as The Eliminator, Joel led Rob by a mere half-second. The final challenge was crucial in determining who would be crowned the celebrity champion among the Gladiators.

In their case, both competitors openly acknowledged their discomfort with heights, which made The Eliminator a possible fantasy for them. However, while Joel continued to advance, Rob started catching up to him.

In the end, it was Joel ‘The Dominator’ Dommett who swung through and won the game.

After his victory, Joel expressed how challenging it had been for him. “I could sense Rob’s presence the whole time,” he added. “Both of us were terrified throughout the day, given our shared fear of heights. But managing to pull this off, I feel like we’ve conquered something truly remarkable.

Next, the focus shifted to Ellie Taylor and Louise Minchin. Louise had a lead of 4 points over Ellie, amounting to a 2-second advantage for her.

In this scenario, the female celebrities were ready to tackle The Eliminator. Ellie charged forward without hesitation, while Louise encountered difficulties clearing the obstacles, receiving assistance from referees Mark and Sonia to overcome them.

In the end, Ellie’s speed gave her an advantage over Louise, and despite Louise trying to close the gap, Ellie proved to be swifter and managed to sprint past the last obstacle.

After securing her victory, Ellie expressed her amazement by saying: “I can hardly believe what I’ve just accomplished! Spending time with Louise has been an absolute joy; it’s been fantastic. I’m incredibly proud of myself and my pelvic floor – it’s performed beyond my expectations!
