Kelly Brook forgets which she Gladiator she dated as she's caught out live on air

Kelly Brook was caught in a hilarious on-air blunder as she forgets the name of which Gladiator she dated.

The model was standing in for Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on Heart Breakfast when she and JK mentioned that the TV show Gladiators is coming back.

However, it seems that Kelly can't be that much of a fan as she forgot the name of her ex-boyfriend who used to be on the show.

Despite becoming engaged to David McIntosh, who was named Tornado on the series, it seems that Kelly wasn't too fussed about his alter-ego.

The blunder occurred when JK and Kelly talked about Gladiators making a return and Kelly mentioned her romantic connection to the programme.

Kelly started singing the theme tune of the show which goes 'Can you feel the power of the Gladiators!' when she said: "I think I did at one point! What was the one I dated? What was his name?"

JK then said they should 'play a game' where Kelly tried to remember her ex's Gladiator identity.

He tried to hint to Kelly what his name was by making whooshing sounds into the microphone.

But this didn't seem to spark Kelly's memory as she guessed 'Hurricane…washing machine'.

JK jokingly replied: "Oh yeah you remember the Gladiator Washing Machine don’t you? Brilliant. Let me give you another verbal clue. The romance was a whirlwind romance, whirlwind!"

Kelly then guessed 'stormy' until she eventually managed to guess correctly.

She said: "Tornado! Oh my god I dated Tornado!"

Kelly and David dated for less than a year in 2014 before calling it quits the following year.

Their whirlwind romance saw them get engaged after just weeks together and moved to Los Angeles.

They split soon after but seemed to get back together on multiple occasions.

However, Kelly has moved on as she recently tied the knot with fiancé Jeremy Parisi after a seven year romance.

Before meeting Jeremy in 2015, Kelly had been unlucky in love going out with the likes of Thom Evans, Billy Zane, Jason Statham and Danny Cipriani.

Gladiators is set to return to our screens, 13 years after it last aired.

The original series was hosted by John Fashanu and Ulrika Jonsson and ran on ITV from 1992 to 2000 before it was bought back by Sky between 2008 and 2009.

There were various spin-offs of the competition series in countries such as Australia, the USA, Finland and South Africa.

The programme will return on BBC One with filming beginning at Utilita Arena in Sheffield in 2023.

The new Gladiators series will have 11 episodes.

It's not yet known who could be in the running to present the show.
