Overview
- Bigg went public about his relationship in April and was shortly after told he would not return for Gladiators' fourth series.
- He has publicly alleged producers raised 'child safeguarding' concerns about his partner's OnlyFans work and named Hungry Bear boss Dan Baldwin in that claim, which the BBC and producers have not independently confirmed.
- A Gladiators spokesperson released a short statement saying 'Giant is leaving Gladiators' and thanked him for his contribution to the show.
- Multiple outlets report the pair have split, Bigg posted a reflective Instagram message on Tuesday and has travelled to Spain for time alone, with a source saying he intends to 'work on himself.'
- The case underscores how broadcasters weigh safeguarding standards against accusations of discrimination toward sex‑work adjacent careers and leaves open questions about transparency in talent decisions.
