The GladPod is back for Series Two! 

We're kicking off the series by getting to know one of our hosts even better, the Gladiators legend... Jet (Diane Youdale). In this episode of Jet Revisited, Producer Paul and Dave take Di all the way back to discuss her childhood experiences as a professional gymnast and dancer, including what triggered her bulimia and body issues and how she overcame them. 

Di also discusses how she was encouraged to enter her first bodybuilding competition, which ended up with her being featured in Bodybuilding Monthly magazine and subsequently spotted by the Gladiators producers. Going on to become a true 90s icon, we chat about the effect her fame had on Di's family, how she coped with having a high-profile romance with fellow Gladiator Hunter (James Crossley), as well as how it felt seeing herself on so many pieces of Jet merchandise! 

Taking a trip back to 1991, Di speaks about her break into showbiz on the television series She-Wolf of London, in which she had auditioned against Gladiator Scorpio (Nikki Diamond) for the role of the She-Wolf. We talk about how long it took to transform into a wolf and how the series helped her put a deposit down on her first home. 

Covering her post-Gladiators career as a television presenter on the likes of You Bet, Finders Keepers, we obviously also had to talk about her time as the iconic and seductive GamesMistress!
