Original Gladiators stars reunite for a picture but can you spot your favourite?

The group got together on Sunday – 26 years after the show first aired – and revealed what great shape they are still in.

Cobra (Michael Wilson) even slipped into some Lycra to prove he still has the sporting prowess at their reunion on Sunday, which took place at a TV, Film, Comic and Memorabilia Convention called Stoke CON Trent.

Hunter, real name James Crossley, shared a beaming photo in the September sunshine and captioned it on Facebook: "Great to catch up with this bunch 26 years on!"

Hunter was just 19 when he was recruited to appear on the show – making him the youngest ever Gladiator.

Speaking about his rise to fame, he said on This Morning last year: “I started when I was 19. I was plucked from a body building stage. I had to fight John Anderson in my trial!”

And explaining why he is in such great shape still, he said: “I work in fitness and try and train people against sedentary living.”

Jet, aka Diane 'Jet' Youdale, trained as a psychotherapist and pilates instructor.

Whilst Warren 'Ace' Furman, who tackled the travelator for a total of four series, became a devoted Christian and evangelist.

Helen Panther O’ Reilly continued to pursue her passion for fitness, setting up Panther’s Gym in Uxbridge with her husband.



Meanwhile, ex-boxer Michael 'Cobra' Wilson, currently lives in the West Midlands and has used his fame for good.

He regularly visits schools across the country to promote fitness.

Jet opened up about being a Gladiator, saying about the experience on This Morning: “Injuries aside it was amazing."

And Panther added: “It was great to inspire so many people to be able to be strong and feminine at the same time.”
