Gladiator stars Fire and Steel left a BBC Breakfast presenter in shock on Saturday after they swept him up and carried him across the studio.
The stars, whose real names are Montell Douglas (Fire) and Zack George (Steel), flaunted their bulging biceps and rock-hard abs as they stepped out on the show.
Showcasing their impressive strength, the two athletes hoisted weatherman Simon King up by his two legs and carried him out of shot.
Presenting the morning show, Charlie Stayt, 61, said: ‘Simon has been struggling with the logistics of how to get on and off the studio floor today. Can you help him out?’
Springing into true gladiator action, the pair each scooped up an arm and a leg and whisked him away.

The weatherman could be seen grinning from ear to ear as he waved goodbye to his colleagues.
Steel and Fire then strutted over to join Charlie and co-host Naga Munchetty, 49, on the sofa.
Naga, clearly impressed with the gladiators’ performance, beamed as she joked that 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 quipped: ‘Crying…’
She then added: ‘Do you know what? That will be the highlight of his year?’
It comes after the show’s semi-final has been pulled from screens in a last-minute BBC One show shake-up.

The second semi-final has disappeared from schedules on March 16 to make way for the FA Cup.
Eager fans can still expect to tune in this Saturday to watch the first anticipated semi-finals as normal.
And one particular thing viewers are looking to see in the semi-final is whether hosts Bradley and Barney Walsh have finally changed their suits yet.
The 1990s favourite returned to screens in January but the father-and-son presenting duo have consistently been wearing the same suits throughout the run and viewers took to social media during Saturday’s quarter-final to beg for a change.

Bradley returned to the series wearing his mauve suit and Barney in his navy blue suit, but fans were quick to point out they know the pre-recorded show wasn’t all filmed on the same day.
One person wrote on X: ‘We know they’re not all filmed on the same day. Please let Bradley and Barney wear different suits’.
Another said: ‘So will Brad & Barney return for 2nd series of #gladiators & will they still have the same suits on’.
‘It’s 7 weeks since this show has returned. Yet the presenters Bradley Walsh and his son Barney are still wearing their same suits’.
‘So, do Bradley and Barney always wear the same suit on purpose or is it a weekly accident? #Gladiators.’
