Gladiators star Jet has opened up on the 'endless' jealous rows that triggered her shock split from her wife. It was revealed by MailOnline this week that the Nineties pin-up, 54, real name Diane Youdale, broke up with her wife Zoe Gilbert after 18 months together and a year of marriage. The pair had tied the knot with during an intimate ceremony in July 2023, having met in a supermarket. And in a new interview, Diane detailed the events that led to the breakdown of her marriage as she told how she'd 'lost' herself amid the arguments, claiming her ex was 'insecure' about her previous partners.

She told The Sun: 'I became a bit of a passenger, I'm usually independent, proactive, and there's things I like to do like walking but I stopped doing all that. She would say "what about Sonia? What about Lisa?" These are exes, professionally and personally. 'I was like: "I don't go on at you about your past I'm not insecure about that." But it was endless. I lost ‘me’ really quickly. And that is possibly that something I've done in relationships in the past as well.

Gladiators star Jet has opened up on the 'endless' jealous rows that triggered her shock split from her wife (pictured in August 2023). 'What is the point in being with somebody in the now and having a future ahead of you if all you want to do is talk about that person's past?'. At the time of her marriage, the former TV star said she 'just knew' Zoe was the one for her after they spent all their time laughing together, admitting: 'I think you know if you want to be with somebody.'.

Jet's relationship with Zoe was her first public romance with a woman after she came out shortly before they committed to each other. She was the Gladiators' standout star during the programme's first four seasons from 1992-1995. A source close to the pair, said: 'Diane and Zoe just realised it wasn't to be. They didn't see any point carrying on so decided to end their relationship. 'It's sad, especially as they were only married for a year, but they just weren't getting on.

'On reflection, they may have rushed into making their commitment official but there's no regrets or hard feelings between them.'. A neighbour close to Zoe told MailOnline on Friday that Jet hasn't been at the property for months. They said: 'It's a shame that their relationship was so brief, Diane hasn't lived here for quite some time.'. Zoe, who works as an educator in the prison service, has also changed her relationship status on Facebook to 'single.'.

The pair, whose chance encounter happened at a supermarket when Zoe approached Jet, got hitched in front of just nine friends and family in the summer of 2023. And they intended to carry on their low-key nuptials enjoying a mini-moon in Northumbria as well as travelling the country to celebrate the happy news with friends, who were unable to attend their wedding. MailOnline approached Jet's representative for comment at the time.
