A vicar in west London has blocked plans for an advertising board showing off new Gladiator Inferno outside his church.

The wrestler, whose real name is Jemma Palmer, is featured on the massive billboard on the A4 in west London wearing a revealing costume aimed at promoting the new series which starts on May 11.

According to reports, the local vicar objected strongly to the advertising hoarding outside his church and raised formal objections.

A Sky One spokesman told thelondonpaper: "We thought it was such a great image that it would be great for the campaign.

"But it seems the vicar just thought Jemma was too hot and that her boobs were just too big."
