Today, the four stars will film the episode — a spin-off of the original Gladiators contest — with the finished show set to air later this year.
A TV insider said: 'Last year, producers of the debut celebrity version played it for laughs with three comedians taking part — with hilarious results for viewers.
'But this year they've assembled four celebrities who can give the Gladiators a serious run for their money, and serve up a clash to savour.'
In the previous BBC One special, comedians Rob Beckett, 39, Joel Dommett, 40, and Ellie Taylor, 41, and news host Louise Minchin, 56, competed against the elite athletes.
Now Vogue, who won the first series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive, will be among those to face the Gladiators.
She has three children with her husband, reality star Spencer Matthews, who broke the record for completing 30 marathons in 30 days last year.
Meanwhile Body Coach Joe Wicks, who is married to former Page Three model Rosie Jones, will be cheered on by their three children.
During the Covid pandemic, he led online fitness classes.
Strictly star Nicola, who won gold at the London and Rio Olympics before retiring, promises to pack a punch.
And Sam, crowned King of the Jungle in 2023, has been throwing himself into his fitness regime since his split with ex-girlfriend, former Love Islander Zara McDermott.

He has previously run the London Marathon.
Filming of the regular Gladiators, now on its third series since its reboot on BBC One, takes place over the next week at Sheffield Arena.
It will be out early next year with Bradley Walsh and son Barney returning to host.
The second edition of Celebrity Gladiators will air just before.
