They always trot out the “it’s the oldest profession” line as if that makes everything ok. The next line is that it’s “empowering”. Is it? Because it looks like you’re having to do all sorts of things to appease your subscribers. I personally don’t think that changing my body specifically for the male gaze (because it’s not for yourself - those boobs are ridic) is particularly powerful.
I can’t believe he’s gone on good morning Britain to defend his relationship with an adult content star. One of which he has been with such a short amount of time of the back of a divorce which isn’t even finalised. I think BBC have made the correct decision this guy is not reading the room he’s completely missing the point.

I don't think it would be unreasonable to say to someone 'we have a strict social media policy due to Gladiators being role models for children. This means that you can not heavily feature an only fans creator on your social media. Children could click through and see her profile where she posts saucy pictures to advertise her only fans. Whilst this is legal, it is not suitable for people under 18 to see'.

You have to be held to a higher standard if you work with children or are on kids TV.

Glad he's got support from his co stars. He isn't on her Only Fans account and isn't promoting hers through his social media. He's just dating someone who does a job that pays tax. Polls I have seen have showed fans are backing him.

I will hang my hat on the ratings next season dipping without him.

I dont think they will dip.

The new GF is not only on OF she also does mentoring to get other young women into OF and takes a cut of their money from it.

As a parent, I actually think the BBC were totally right in this. Yes kids are upset and disappointed that Giant wont be on there, but I doubt they are getting the true reason for his leaving from parents. I have just told my child, he left and we dont know the reason. I dont want to explain OF to a child!

Looking forward to the Christmas special, I wish there were more series through the year
I wish for more..... but then I still wish that Eunice Huthart would make a gladiators comeback and smash all the new contestants! Im showing my age there, but fans of a certain age will remember Eunice.

I didn't realise Giant had a login here

Why do men never fail to disappoint? Bit of fame and he drops his wife and his career for a younger ‘only fans’ worker 🙄

Cyclone is such a good addition to the show. She's an absolute beast - cocky and can back it up with the results. Her and Fury are brilliant.

He could also have just kept his private life private. Not posted about her or tagged her page. I couldn’t identify Sabre’s partner in a line up, nor Electro’s, Phantom’s, Bionic’s (if they have one). It screams of wanting to show off his new young thing who is a porn star.

Some of my favourite contenders through, yay. Pity about Zavia though.

Steel has posted that his son was born at the end of March prematurely, he was only 23 weeks. He's put a picture of him on his wife's chest in a woolly hat and he's absolutely tiny 🙁 it must be so stressful. I hope they're all doing well, he seems like such a good guy with the work he does in schools. And I like that he's speaking as a former overweight kid, not someone who was sporty their whole lives. He's in my holy trinity with Phantom and Nitro.

When we went to watch Gladiators being filmed, Cyclone was lovely with the kids and she did a lot of stuff between setting up games interacting with the crowd. She was an absolute sweetheart. Her and Fury are definitely two of the best all rounders in Gladiators.

I saw she said a comment like "I go in my car and play with my boobs" 🤮🤮 what bloody men are getting off on that? Meh, maybe I am more of a prude than I thought, but the BBC made the right choice, he was tagging her in posts and you dont have to look far to see her pictures. I dont want to explain that to my child (although they only have supervised access to the internet).

I think Giant will live to regret this. He may get a few reality shows off the back of all of this, but in 5 years time, I think he will be another Z lister and probably on only fans as well.

If he had played it right, he could have had a good few years (barring injury on Glads) and then retired gracefully and a hero to kids.

I also hate this bullshit that he is loyal to his people. Nope, not buying it, you thought you were bigger than the show and have FAFO.

Giant...what a GIANT tool he's turned out to be. He's been tagging his OF GF in his stories, you'd have to be daft if you thought that people won't click through and look at her profile. I agree with the decision - presumably he could have kept her quiet and carried on with Gladiators...there's just no need to be so public about your private life.

I agree that SW/OF has become prolific, and I don't agree with it. Agree with what previous posters have said. It's not empowering, it's not some great feat of feminism.

Nitro has posted a video of him in the gym with viper. Viper off duty is actually a really good looking guy with a lovely smile. I dont know how he doesn't crack up on set having to play the bad guy.
Hammers one shouldered leotard is still giving me the ick

I don’t understand why Giant doesn’t understand that being on a family show with a partner who does porn is a problem.

Totally agree - in years to come, he will recognise what a total mess he made of his life - sacrificing a marriage and successful career - once the novelty of being with a porn star wears off! Such a cliche of a middle aged man who finds a bit of fame 🙄 wonder what his son thinks about it all!

OF has been drip fed into social media more than traditional porn ever was (it's trying to catch up though!) And a huge bugbear of mine is the onslaught of clickbait tabloid articles that are written purely to go viral as thinly veiled OF adverts. They try and normalise it all, usually omitting facts regarding earnings or the particular circumstances of that 'hard luck done good story'.

Really annoying with the Online Safety Act as it is useless against this and how accessible it all is to children. I am no Mary Whitehouse by any stretch and think porn has it's place but it's bleeding into the mainstream and easier than ever entry point is going to cause massive societal problems down the line.
