It's hard to believe that it's been over two decades since Gladiators, the muscle-filled 90s TV show bursting with competitive challenges and skin-tight Lycra, first graced our screens. Now, the glittering primetime spectacle has us on the edge of our seats once again thanks to the BBC's epic reboot, with hosts Bradley and Barney Walsh presiding over the epic battles every Saturday night. And while new Gladiators taking on the contestants include Viper, Legend and Fury, many of the original Gladiator's off-screen lives are now very different, leading them down challenging paths involving drug problems and time behind bars.
Fan favourites like Wolf and Jet turned into household names during their time on the show, however once the cameras stopped rolling they've all had to hang up their Gladiatorial mantles and head in different direction career-wise. So, where are they now? Let's catch up with where life after Gladiators took them... Amazon AKA Sharron Davies You might know Sharron Davies from somewhere else, not just as a Gladiator.
In fact the 54 year old was really good at swimming before she became Amazon and she won a silver medal at the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and swam for Great Britain in other big competitions. After she stopped swimming, she joined the Gladiators in the '90s. But she had to leave after a year because of a knee injury.
Sharron then went on to have a successful career in TV and spent some time as the host of The Big Breakfast and became a familiar face on the BBC's sports coverage. She was also competed on Dancing on Ice in 2010. However, in 2019 Sharron found herself in hot water after she called for transgender athletes who biologically male at birth to be kept out of women's sport.
