Gladiators’ Jet star Diane Youdale marries fiancée she met in a supermarket – and reveals wedding details
GLADIATORS legend Diane Youdale has married her fiancée Zoe Gilbert in a secret ceremony.
The TV icon, who was known as Jet on the popular 90s show, has told how she and her new wife Zoe, 48, wed last week after a year-and-a-half of dating.
Diane, 53, told magazine: "We're married! We kept it very, very quiet.
"Literally nine people on the planet knew.
"When you're in the public eye - whether it was like me and it was literally last millennium, or in this day and age on social media - things just run away with you.
"I'm in my 50s now and we're both very private people and we thought, 'You know, let's just keep this thing quiet.'

"We've not let even our nearest and dearest know because we wanted to keep it really tiny."
Diane "cried a lot" during the ceremony, and she praised her "ever so smart" bride, who she met in her local Tesco.
She said: "It was casual, I didn't wear a dress.
"I wore a nice boho-type top, trousers and a beautiful pair of sandals.

"Zoe wore her chinos, brogues, and a nice shirt with a waistcoat. She looked ever so smart. I cried a lot."
Diane recently told how she had got engaged to her lover, Zoe, after they first met when she was approached in her local supermarket.
Speaking to Lori Fetrick - who was Ice on the US version of Gladiators- on her 'Chillin’ with Ice' podcast, Diane said: "Just over a year ago, a gorgeous lady approached me in my local supermarket.
"Over a year later, we’re going to get married. We are what we are.
"It doesn’t matter. And I don’t give a damn.
"I’m safe and I’m loved and there’s no threat to me anymore and that’s what means the world to me."
Hit 90s show Gladiators is being rebooted by the BBC.
The show originally ran on ITV for eight seasons from 1992 until 2000.
The OG cast included famous Gladiators like Jet, Wolf and Cobra.
