Wigan teacher and personal trainer Tyler Spence through to the final of BBC1’s Gladiators
A Wigan teacher and personal trainer is through to the final of BBC1’s Gladiators – after he thought his race was run.
Tyler Spence, 30, has reached the showdown via an unconventional route, having been knocked out at the quarter-final stage.
But he was subbed in when a semi-final contestant was injured and won tonight’s (March 14) showdown.
Fitness fanatic Tyler, from Standish, is no stranger to physical challenges.
He spent many years playing rugby, including for Wigan St Pat’s and Preston Grasshoppers, and was part of England’s under-23s nine-a-side rugby league team at the 2018 Commonwealth Championships in Australia.
He helps other people to improve their fitness and reach their goals as a personal trainer and online coach.
There is another semi-final to be contested next Saturday, so Tyler will be seen in the final on Saturday March 28.
