Diane Youdale
Biography
Former gymnast who was apparently in something called She-Wolf Of London around , but really shot to fame as Jet in Gladiators.
She was known as Diane Youdale Mayhew for a while, but apparently is back to just being plain old Diane Youdale. But it's probably best just to call her Jet instead. She'll love that.
After Gladiators she did a bit of presenting work, including a mid-morning show for BBC Tees in her home city of Middlesbrough. She's now a practicing Psychotherapist and Counsellor, but still occasionally pops up as a celebrity guest on things.
Trivia
She appeared on Russell Howard's Good News in as a mystery guest, because Russell was a big fan of Gladiators when he was younger. They even had a "Duel" fight!
