Jamie, 40, who joined the rebooted Gladiators series in 2024, reveals how he was told that his new relationship with Taylor—an OnlyFans model—was a “danger to kids,” leading to his axing from the show. He was told that, due to Taylor’s adult content career, he could no longer work as a Gladiator, and his contract was not being renewed. 💔

“They tried to ruin my relationship for the sake of the show,” Jamie said, devastated by the decision. “I had to choose between Taylor and keeping my job. It’s ridiculous. There’s nothing in the contract about dating someone who works with OnlyFans.”

The couple, who started dating after meeting at a Gladiators Live event, are now speaking out about the situation. Taylor, 28, feels “dehumanized” by the BBC’s decision, saying they’re reducing her to her OnlyFans job rather than seeing her as a person. “I’m a nice, normal person,” she said. “I love dogs, but they’re triggered by my job.”

Jamie, who has been a role model for kids as a Gladiator, expressed his frustration at being dismissed after giving so much to the show. “It’s a 24/7 job, and I’ve always taken it seriously,” he explained. “This has brought me closer to Taylor. I stood by the person I love, and I did the right thing.”

This shocking turn of events comes after the couple shared their romantic journey on social media and Jamie has received a flood of support from fans and fellow Gladiators. 👏

Is the BBC right to act on this issue, or have they gone too far? And what’s next for Jamie and Taylor’s future together?
