Gladiator Jet: We were ready..

1990s star says she & other originals should be back as TV pundits

-  MARK JEFFERIES

GLADIATORS legend Jet says the hit TV reboot has snubbed past stars by not inviting them back.

Despite loving the new show, she said: "It would have been nice for there to have been a nod to each and every one of the originals to be guests or do commentary or punditry.

"We all still have so much to give in our experiences. It's not bitter chips, but maybe it is!" The iconic game show, aired on ITV from 1992 to 2000, has returned to BBC1 with Saturday night viewing topping eight million.

Jet, real name Diane Youdale, earned a legion of fans thanks to her gymnastic skills and dominance of the ring game Hang Tough.
