Gladiators star Jamie Bigg, known as Giant, has announced he will not return for the fourth series of the BBC reboot. The 34-year-old made the announcement in a cryptic Instagram post, stating that the decision was not his own.
Bigg joined the show in January 2024 and appeared in three series. In his statement, he said he was 'faced with a choice that didn't align with my values' and that he 'stands by his people'. He described being a Gladiator as 'one of the greatest honours of my life'.
Fans expressed disappointment and support in the comments, with one writing: 'That's absolutely gutting' and another saying their 'wee boy is gonna be devastated'. Bigg concluded his message by saying: 'This isn't the end. It's just the beginning.'
