Gladiators' Giant Leaves BBC Show After Saying the Exit Wasn't His Choice

Bigg links his exit to concerns over his partner's OnlyFans profile.

Overview

  • The BBC confirmed Giant, whose real name is Jamie Bigg, is leaving Gladiators after three series and thanked him for his contribution.
  • Bigg says he was faced with an ultimatum after planning to go public with his relationship with OnlyFans model Taylor Ryan and insists the departure was not his choice.
  • He alleges a senior producer labeled his girlfriend's work a child safeguarding risk, a claim the BBC and production have not verified publicly.
  • Bigg offered an olive branch to his estranged wife, Katie Christian, after her critical post about his new relationship, noting they separated in November after 13 years of marriage.
  • He says he wants to keep working in television and teased that he has “lots of things in the pipeline,” including the chance to speak about taboo subjects.
