News about Ben Hamer

The heartbreak of not getting a job when a lot of time and effort into the application has been made worse by the revelation that the position may not even have existed in the first place.

After a dramatic final showdown on Saturday, Marie-Louise Nicholson (left) and Finlay Anderson (right) were crowned Gladiators champions. Marie-Louise triumphed over Bronte Jones, while Finlay defeated fellow finalist Wesley Male after 11 weeks of grueling challenges on the BBC One show. Marie-Louise, the personal trainer, got off to a two-second head start on firefighter Bronte before emerging triumphant to applause from the audience.

Marie-Louise, 28, told last week how she had been devastated by a recent break when she signed up for the BBC series. The glamorous fitness instructor revealed that she had found a new love after the TV show helped her to start dating again. MailOnline is now reveals that Ben Hamer, a 28-year-old sports fan who has expressed her enthusiasm for staying fit, is her new boyfriend. He expressed his sympathy for her appearance in the Gladiators final tonight by posting a snapshot of BBC MediaCityUK at Salford Quays on Instagram.

On Saturday, Watford stopper Ben Hamer did not cover himself in the best light, and viewers were quick to condemn his attempts to save Bristol City's equalizer. After 13 minutes, the Robins were 1-0 down, but they were able to pounce on a revival when Scott Twine was quickest to recover. While the midfielder did well to nod home, fans couldn't help but note Hamer's attempts to deny him.
