Gladiator star, Jet, was hugely well known in the 90s for her appearance on the popular gameshow – but she later vanished from our screens. However, Jet, who's real name is Diane Youdale, made a recent TV comeback – and was even reunited with her former flame. In the nineties, Diane achieved fame for her role as Jet in ITV's biggest gameshow. She continued to feature in headlines for her two-year relationship with co-star Hunter (James Crossley) however admitted to never being able to move past their age gap.
Diane had previously shared how she had felt like a "cougar at 21" when Hunter was 19 at the time of them dating. Remaining friends despite their split, the pair recently reunited on our screens – a far cry away from the fun and sporty TV show based on ancient Rome's colosseums. Jet and Hunter began the new year on an episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, joining hosts Margie Cooper and Ishy Khan in Lancashire in search of quirky antique bargains.
The hour-long wholesome and fun episode saw the exes travel to Eccleston, St Helens, where Diane discovered a rare sculptural piece. The group later ventured to Longridge, outside of Preston, where James made a purchase of an item that reminded him of his beloved dog. The four also visited Darwen, Blackburn to learn about a local-legend strongman – which the former Gladiators could not resist joining in on.
Career. Diane's success as a Gladiator met a sudden end as she cracked her neck in 1996 in a near-fatal accident involving a pyramid formation - which was immediately banned after. Diane has spoken about the shocked-silent audience, how she knew what "that snap" meant and thinking "have I broken my neck?" after landing "pencil-point down".
