The latest series of returns to BBC One tonight, but a former show legend has since sparked a frenzy as she unveiled her jaw-dropping figure in a new photo.
Kim Betts, otherwise known as Lightning, shot to fame on the former ITV show over 30 years ago, but has since proved age is nothing but a number.
The 53-year-old previously trained as a gymnast and bodybuilder before becoming the only female Gladiator to appear throughout the initial run back in the 90s.
Kim looked incredible as she shared a side-by-side photo from 1994 to 2024.
She told her thousands of followers that achieving such a figure is “never about age” and is more about finding “balance” in life.

Kim penned: “It’s never been about age… Health is your wealth. Balance of life is key.”
The ex-Gladiators star wowed in a crop top as she put her rock-hard abs and toned arms on full display as she flaunted her six-pack and belly button piercing.
She paired her casual attire with a pair of grey jogging bottoms.
Lightning showcased her age-defying looks as her striking blonde hair flowed down her back.
Fans flocked to the comment section as one gushed: “Gorgeous as always.”
Another wrote: “Like a fine wine, just gets better and better with age.”
“Just beautiful then and now,” a third championed.
Meanwhile, Bradley Walsh and his son Barney are back to host the new series of Gladiators which returns tonight.
