ICONIC telly hit Gladiators is being lined up for a major comeback by the BBC. The show was a Saturday night titan for most of the 1990s - with super-fit members of the public battling a team of 'Gladiators'.

It made stars of the likes of 'Jet' aka Diane Youdale and 'Wolf' - bodybuilder Michael Van Wijk, with more than 14 million viewers tuning in each week.
