One of the 16 new Gladiators featured in the series is Dundee gym owner Sheli McCoy.
Sheli, who runs Sweatbox Dundee on Camperdown Road, will appear as Sabre in the show.
Describing Sheli’s character as “fierce, powerful and agile”, creators of the Gladiators TV show said: “Contenders be afraid of an attack from Sabre, she’s fearless and ferocious.
“Once she catches sight of prey, there’s no escape!”
Sheli says appearing on the show is a ‘dream come true’. Image: BBC
