GLADIATORS legends Lightning, Saracen and Hunter looked unrecognisable as they reunited on This Morning.

The 90s TV favourites joined Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle on the sofa of the ITV daytime show today amid rumours the smash hit series is being revived.



James Crossley, aka Hunter, Kim Betts, who was known as Lightning, and Michael Lewis, who transformed into Saracen, entered the studio by bursting through a piece of paper with their iconic pugil sticks.

While they all looked different from their 90s TV heyday, they are all still in incredible shape.

Saracen now sports longer hair, while Hunter's famous curls have gone but Lightning still has her famous long blonde mane.

Asked about the reboot rumours, Saracen said: "Yeah we have heard the rumours that it might be coming back but not on ITV, on BBC."

"I literally just heard it on the radio, I don’t know anything more than anybody else," Lightning added.

On the popularity of the show, Hunter reflected: "We were watched by 18 million people and there was only four channels at the time, you couldn’t really go anywhere without people shouting [your name]"

Meanwhile, Lightning discussed the lasting impact of the iconic Saturday teatime show.

"It is only now as well when I realise, I still get lots of stories saying you inspired me so much, you motivated me… it really was quite powerful, the message that it had," she explained.

Asked if they would want to be part of a future reboot, Hunter said: "Never say never…there is something left in the basement. I have still got the eye of the tiger."

Lightning, however, added that she felt the BBC would want to make a future version their own, without the original Gladiators.

"I am guessing they are going to want their own babies," she said, which led to Josie chipping in that she hoped the originals would be involved in some way.

The gang also brought their old costumes along, which Craig wasted no time slipping into.

Fans watching at home were thrilled by the nostalgic segment.

"Saracen still got it going on! Wowoweewah!" one wrote on twitter.

A second said: "Loved @GladiatorsTV part of my childhood."
