The contestants had to complete the Gauntlet - where they had to successfully pass four zones which were protected by a Gladiator.

John and Jake had to get past Viper, Phantom, Steel and Giant.

Viper, who goes by the real name Quang Luong, has been dubbed "Mr Moody" - and he certainly lived up to his name tonight.

Jake managed to get past Viper first and host Bradley Walsh wanted to point it out to him.

"I've got to say Viper, obviously not a big favourite... I mean Jake got through you very, very quickly and quite easily.

"And John did the same... Pretty easy. As far as I can see.

"What do you think, being first in line?," he asked.

Viper grabbed the microphone off Bradley and aggressively smashed it onto his elbow pads and then chucked it on the floor.

To make things even more awkward, he stormed off set.

Many took to X to compare him to a former Gladiator.

They all thought that he is trying to be lie Michael van Wijk AKA Wolf - who starred on the show between 1992 and 2000.

One brutally wrote on the social media platform: "Viper is a Poundland Wolf #gladiators."

"Viper wants to be the Wolf so bad, it's embarrassing," another said.

A third chimed in: "Viper, your not Wolf and never will be."

A fourth tweeted: "Oh my GOD. Viper is at it again. Unacceptable. I’m disgusted."
