As an enthusiastic Piers did some arm stretches, an impressed Flex felt his upper arms and said 'mate you have got big arms to which Piers responded 'Mate you don't want to mess with these guns. I'm serious'.
As the pair duelled, it looked as if they were on level pegging with Susanna shouting out: 'Come on Flex, don't let him win.'

In September James followed in the footsteps of Arnold Schwarzenegger by taking a sixth consecutive title at Mr Olympia in Las Vegas.
Speaking of the Terminator star who presented him with the award he said: 'He does this thing where he tries to one-up you, I knew so I had something ready so I could one-up him.
'I've done quite a lot of stuff in the US, he's the blueprint, he thought I'm going to make it in movies and nobody thought he would and he proved them all wrong.'
