Nick Aldis

Biography

Nick Aldis appears in the revived series of Gladiators as the fearsome Oblivion. Before his big break on the Sky One programme, Nick was a wrestler under the name of Brutis Magnus.

Nick's father has vascular dementia and the Gladiator appeared on Sky One's 'Are You Smarter Than a Ten Year Old?', raising £100,000 for Alzheimer's Society.

'Despite having a physical job, I believe the most important tool to anybody is their brain. Dementia is a subject close to my heart, as my father has vascular dementia.

My father is an intelligent and independent man but there are times when you feel powerless to help. Dementia can take hold without being noticed and nobody is immune.

I want to help both people with dementia and their families who, thanks to Alzheimer's Society, benefit so much from simply knowing that there is support there for them at the time they need it most.'
