Gladiators star strikes a pose in exact same costume she wore 30 years ago

GLADIATORS star Lightning shows she can strike twice – as she poses in the exact same costume she wore on the show 30 years ago.

The bodybuilder, 50, aka Kim Betts, was the longest-serving female Gladiator on the cult ITV show, set to re-launch on the BBC — with Alex Scott in talks to host.

The former Lioness met with Beeb execs yesterday. A source said: “Alex would be a perfect fit.”

In a video on Instagram, where she donned several revealing leotards from her days on the show, she said: “This is a bit like trying on a wedding dress 30 years later. 

“These haven’t touched my skin since I wore them.

“This is the one I disliked the most. It was really uncomfortable.”
