Has anybody ever actually made it past Mount Midoriyama and won Ninja Warrior UK?

If youre tuning into the new series of Ninja Warror UK you may wonder: has anyone actually managed to overcome the seemingly impossible obstacles and won the show?

Because lets face it – a game show isnt a game show if there arent any winners, right?

Its a little complicated. We break it down.

Has anyone ever won Ninja Warrior UK?

While people have won the show, no-one has actually completed the course so far.

Instead, contestants who get to the furthest point of the course have been crowned winner.

This means no-one has taken the official title of Ninja Warrior UK.

Last years winner, Tim Shieff, came painstakingly close to completing it before falling on its penultimate challenge – the flying bars.

Tim hit the news earlier ths year after famously quitting a vegan company he founded after it emerged he had eaten eggs and salmon.
