Saturday night in the 1990s was incomplete without switching on the TV to watch the incredible physical exploits of modern day Gladiators. Each of the regular stars had their own identity and following.
My fears started to ease when I realised that I could bring my own Gladiator identity to the show and have fun with the character of Jet. I knew that I would bring something different to the programme because I wasn’t a bodybuilder, my background was as a dancer and in athletics. I went to their offices, and they played a clip from the American show and asked me if I wanted to be part of the UK version. They put the potential gladiators and contenders through our paces; we did an army assault course at Woolwich Barracks and some gym tests, which I did very well in. I was like a little character from Mario, just zooming about. He then called me back and said would you like to be on the show as Jet! I think they went with that name because I was so quick during the trial.
Can you tell us anything that we might not know about some of the Gladiators? I can remember walking into the arena for one of the first or second shows and Wolf was sat on the sides of one of the huge Atlasphere event bases. He was tucking into a massive bowl of rice and chicken and he started to complain about being cast as the baddie on the show and that he didn’t want to be called Wolf.
