Gladiators star Giant has made headlines after publicly revealing his relationship with his new girlfriend on OnlyFans, following his sudden departure from the popular BBC show.
The 40-year-old star, whose real name is Jamie Bigg, took to social media to express that his exit from the show was not a decision he made willingly. Instead, he claimed that the BBC producers “did not approve” of his relationship with his girlfriend, Taylor Ryan, who is an OnlyFans content creator. The revelation comes just a day after Jamie announced he would no longer be part of the fourth season of Gladiators.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Jamie said, “Being a Gladiator has been one of the greatest honours of my life. But I want to make it clear this wasn’t my choice to leave. I was faced with a choice that didn’t align with my values, and if you know me, you know this… I stand by my people and what I believe in. That’s what being a role model means to me.”
Jamie further elaborated that after informing the producers about his intention to publicly share his relationship with Taylor, he was “suddenly axed” from the show. He made it clear that he had no intentions of hiding any part of his life, including his relationship with Taylor, who is 28 years old.
The star also emphasized that he was grateful for the opportunity and the experiences he had on the show. “I’m proud of everything I’ve given to the show and thankful for all the support I’ve received. This isn’t the end, it’s just the beginning. Stay strong, stand tall.”
Previously, it was believed that Jamie had voluntarily left the Gladiators series, but his recent statement has cast a different light on the situation, suggesting backstage tensions and a clash of values between him and the producers.
“I didn’t expect this, especially considering the commitment I put into this role,” Jamie continued. “I’ve always valued being in the public eye, and I believe that being a role model requires honesty and professionalism. For me, that means not hiding any part of who I am or the people I love.”
Taylor, who is known for her seductive content on social media, shared a sweet video with Jamie, where the couple is seen dancing to “Circle of Life” from The Lion King. Their public display of affection follows Jamie’s departure, and the two seem to be enjoying their personal lives after his exit from the show.
Meanwhile, a Gladiators spokesperson issued a statement confirming Jamie’s departure, saying, “After three impressive seasons, Giant is leaving Gladiators. We thank him for all his contributions and wish him the best for the future.”
Jamie, whose towering 6’5″ frame earned him his Gladiator persona, has also alluded to a backstage argument that may have led to his unexpected exit. “This was not my decision to leave the show,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “I faced a choice that did not align with my values.”
Despite the controversy, Jamie remains hopeful about the future. “I’m excited for what’s to come, both personally and professionally.”
Stay tuned for more updates on Jamie’s exit from Gladiators and his new journey with Taylor.
