Gladiators' Jet comes out and reveals she is marrying lady she met at supermarket

Gladiators star Jet has come out and has revealed she is marrying a lady she met at the supermarket.

The TV star – who was a favourite on the 90s sports entertainment show – said she met the woman, Zoe, while she was out shopping.

Opening on the Chillin’ With Ice podcast, she said she had previously experienced domestic abuse, saying it was “really horrendous” and that “it just put me off relationships and everything for life”.

But just over a year ago she met Zoe.

“A gorgeous lady approached me in my local supermarket,” said the star, whose real name is Diane Youdale.

“And over a year later, we are going to get married.”

The star told host Lori Fetrick: “We are what we are and it doesn’t matter. And I don’t give a damn.”

“I’m safe and I’m loved and there is no threat to me any more and that’s what means the world to me,” she went on.

Youdale, who is now a trained psychotherapist, also asked the podcast host if she wanted to meet her fiancée, with Zoe then joining her on screen for the Zoom chat.

The 53-year-old had an army of fans during her time on Gladiators, which she starred on from 1992 until 1996.

She stepped away from the programme after four years, after falling from a giant pyramid and injuring her neck.

Gladiators is being rebooted

Gladiators originally aired from 1992 to 2000.

Then last year it was confirmed that it was being brought back with a new series to air this year.

The show used to be hosted by Ulrika Jonsson and John Fashanu, but the new run will be presented by Bradley Walsh and his son Barney.
