GLADIATORS' stars Fire and Steel flexed their muscles in the BBC Breakfast studio this morning and swept a presenter of their feet.
The two athletes appeared in their iconic Lycra outfits and showed off their strength when they hoisted weatherman Simon King up and carried him out of shot.
Out of shot, Charlie Stayt could be heard saying: "Simon has been struggling with the logistics of how to get on and off the studio floor today. Can you help him out?"
They then each took an arm and a leg and scooped him up as the smiling star waved to his colleagues.
The Gladiators then joined Charlie and Naga Munchetty on the sofa, with the latter joking it had made Simon's year.

Charlie asked: "What have you done with Simon? Is he OK?"
Steel said: "We just left him in the corner, if that's all right?"
Naga chipped in and said: "Crying..."
She then added: "Do you know what? That will be the highlight of his year?"
Earlier this week Gladiators fans were gutted to learn the show has been pulled from next weekend's BBC One schedule in a big shake-up.
The rebooted show has been airing every Saturday and fans are eagerly awaiting the first semi-final tonight.
But while this weekend's episode will air as normal, the second semi-final won't be on March 16.
Instead it will be replaced by FA Cup coverage of Manchester City's game against Newcastle.
The competition has been impacting a number of shows across the last few weeks.
