The return of Gladiators after more than two decades away from the screen has captured the imagination of the British public.
Broadcast again on BBC One, the show was rebooted for a second time, after a series was made for Sky One in 2008, following the original 1992 ITV series, which ended in 2000.
One contestant who catches viewers’ attention in particular is Comet, whose real name is Ella Mae Rayner.
The 28-year-old, from Hertfordshire, is a former gymnast who also worked as a high board jumper and competed as a cheerleader at national level.
Outside of competition, the athlete appears to lead a lavish life full of glitz and glamour, including impressive vacations, an impressive fashion collection, and an entrepreneurial boyfriend.
