Gavin Rodenhurst (Arborist and tree surgeon from Crawley, West Sussex) versus Freddie McGovern (Fitness instructor and personal trainer from South London)

Notes: This is the first heat of the second compass point series: South

The first contender to win the show will earn a place in the Southern Semi Finals, and the Final, plus a chance of winning and going through to the series final, North vs. South Final to become the Southern champion.

The Wall and Hang Tough are not in the first Southern heat of Gladiators, same as the first Northern heat, but as part of a base of appearances, they are supposed to be played in the first heat in an event line-up as the main events in every series of Gladiators from the first show. Pendulum and Swingshot are in the first Southern heat in an event line-up, instead.

It features a brand new event, Sumo Ball in the first Southern heat.

Gauntlet appears in the first Southern heat as a core event in an event line-up for odd numbered heats.

The events are listed the same in an event line-up since North Heat 3.

New Gladiator cast member: Team coach of the South: Phil Norman (1993 domestic champion)

Absent: Laser and Zodiac.
