Jamie Bigg, known as 'Giant' on the rebooted Gladiators, alleges he was dropped from the show after informing the BBC about his relationship with OnlyFans creator Taylor Ryan, citing concerns over 'child safeguarding'.
Former Gladiators star Jamie Bigg , known as ' Giant ' on the show, has publicly stated he was removed from the rebooted series by the BBC due to their disapproval of his relationship with Taylor Ryan , an OnlyFans model and aspiring comedian.
Bigg, 40, revealed he informed show bosses of his intention to publicly acknowledge his romance with Ryan, 28, shortly before being informed his contract would not be renewed for the fourth series. He expressed surprise at the decision, emphasizing his commitment to the role and his belief in honesty and transparency as a public figure. Bigg praised Ryan as an 'incredible person' and affirmed his unwavering support for her, highlighting their shared values and mutual respect.
The couple, who had been contemplating starting a family, are reportedly 'shocked and saddened' by the BBC's decision. In a detailed statement, Bigg explained he was told the decision stemmed from 'child safeguarding' concerns, though the BBC has not directly commented on these claims. He emphasized his commitment to being a role model, stating it involves being truthful about all aspects of his life, including his relationships.
He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to participate in Gladiators and indicated his focus is now on future endeavors, both personally and professionally. The BBC released a statement acknowledging Bigg's departure, praising his strength, kindness, and inspirational qualities as 'Giant.
' The news follows reports that Bigg was preparing to discuss his relationship with Ryan on a podcast, potentially accelerating the BBC's decision. Taylor Ryan, who previously worked as a barista before transitioning to full-time modeling and content creation, earns up to £25,000 per month through her OnlyFans platform. She openly discusses her experiences with ADHD and autism on social media, alongside her passion for sports and her dog.
Bigg, a former professional bodybuilder and firefighter, shared a cryptic message on Instagram following his axing, stating he was 'faced with a choice that didn't align with my values,' clarifying that his departure was not voluntary. He reiterated his pride in representing strength, resilience, and positive role modeling through his participation in Gladiators, and expressed optimism for the future.
