Gladiators, ready! The stars of the hit TV show have reunited and we're freaking out a bit.
Do you feel the power of the Gladiators? 10 stars of the hit 90s show then and now
Host Ulrika Jonsson and legendary referee John Anderson met up with Gladiators Wolf, Lightning, Jet, Ace, Hunter and Saracen for ITV's new programme The Saturday Night Story.

And to tease us even more, ITV released then and now photographs of the Gladiator stars taking part in the programme. Some of them have barely aged - the wonders of the travelator.
