Moment Gladiators star storms off set after BITING shocked host Bradley Walsh’s mic after dramatic defeat

A FURIOUS Gladiator stormed off set after BITING Bradley Walsh's microphone.

Viper was left defeated and embarrassed after failing to win a challenge against a stand-in contender.

Bradley Walsh introduced contestant Wesley to viewers at the start of Saturday's show.

He took over from Finley who sustained a nasty knee injury during training for the BBC competition.

Wesley got off to a flying start and successfully beat Viper - aka Quang Luong on the wall challenge.

After the humiliating defeat, Bradley told the superhuman: "Obviously Wesley has never done the wall before.

"Yet he managed to escape you, you had him then you let him slip through your hands bad day for you."

Viper was visibly shaking with rage and as Brad placed his microphone to his mouth for a response, the hunk took a bite of it.

Seething with rage, he then storm off the show's set, leaving the Gladiators audience stunned.

Writing on social media, one viewer said: "For all Viper's tough act, that man has taken a lot of Ls."

A second wrote: "If you're going to be a bad boy #Gladiator, you at least have to have something beyond just looking and being angry to back it up."

"Both the kids are genuinely freaked out by Viper. When he did that comedy mic biting and throwing, my daughter was all, he's too scary," said a third.

While a fourth commented: "The microphone budget can't have been cheap with Viper around."

Gladiators continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
