Gladiators star punches Bradley Walsh's microphone and storms off after loss

Gladiators star Viper ended up punching Bradley Walsh's microphone and stormed off set after he lost out to one contender during one round on Saturday night.

As contender Jake took on one challenge, he had to try and get past the Gladiators who were trying to stop him from passing and getting to the end of the course. However, it seems Jake had no trouble in getting past Viper - and he didn't react it every well.

The commentator can be heard saying: "Jake charges in and he slithered past Viper easily as well. He is having a shocker is Viper.

"Phantom nor Steel can stop him, Jake gets through, he has got 10 points. He throws the helmet away in celebration."

"He's got a message for Viper as well," he continued as Jake took a bow.

As Bradley went to chat to the Gladiator, he said: "If you'd like to come down and have a chat please.

"I have got to say, Viper..."

As the crowd started to boo, Bradley held up his hand and said: "Yeah, yeah, you're obviously not a big favourite.

"I mean Jake got through you very quickly and quite easily and John did the same.

"Pretty easy as far as I can see, what do you think being the first in line?"

As Bradley put the microphone in front of Viper's face, the Gladiator began to angrily punch it before walking off.

Viewers were left divided by Vper's outburst and many took to social media to share their thoughts.

@day_1980 tweeted: "Love #viper and his tantrums on the #Gladiators."

@Garethlanks commented: "Gladiators, show 2, another good show. Viper was not a good sport breaking your microphone, thank goodness you had a spare @BradleyWalsh."

@MillieSansoye added: "I can’t take Viper seriously, his hissy fits are hilarious #Gladiators."

@GaryPanton agreed: "Enjoying how much Viper wants to be Wolf. More of that please. #Gladiators."

Gladiators returns on Saturday at 5.50pm on BBC One.
