Tom Stoltman, a 32-year-old strongman from the Scottish Highlands, is set to join the cast of BBC’s Saturday night primetime show Gladiators for its fourth series. Multiple outlets report that Stoltman, who has competed at the highest level in the “World’s Strongest Man” competition, has announced he will take part in the new run of episodes. The reports describe him as 6ft 8in tall and present his casting as a new addition to the Gladiators lineup.
One account says he replaces a previous participant described as the “Giant,” while another states that filming for the fourth series is due to begin next month. Across the sources, there is agreement on the core details: Stoltman is the former World’s Strongest Man performer being added to BBC Gladiators, and his involvement is for Series 4 of the programme. The reports do not provide further information on his exact role or event categories within the show.
