The iconic game show is back after 16 years off air, with father and son duo Bradley and Barney Walsh helming presenting duties.<\/p>\n
Amongst the group of athletes is Montell Douglas, who previously said she couldn\u2019t wait to \u201cembark on the biggest journey of my life\u201d.<\/p>\n
As Gladiators airs on BBC One, here\u2019s everything you need to know about Fire, including which fellow Gladiator<\/a> she would least like to go up against.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Age:\u00a0<\/strong>37<\/p>\n From:\u00a0<\/strong>London<\/p>\n Height:\u00a0<\/strong>5ft 10in<\/p>\n Bicep:\u00a0<\/strong>64cm<\/p>\n Fact:\u00a0<\/strong>Fire is one fast Gladiator! She can run 100m in 11.05 seconds.<\/p>\n Instagram:\u00a0<\/strong>@montytrackstar<\/a><\/p>\n Fire, whose real name is Montell Douglas, is a multi-sports Olympian. She was originally a sprinter and the former British record holder for the 100 metres at 11.05 seconds.<\/p>\n Over the course of her career, Douglas competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics and in 2017 became part of the Team GB two-woman bobsleigh team.<\/p>\n Describing Fire as a \u201cfirecracker\u201d, the Olympian said: \u201cShe is a bundle of laughs and fierceness. She\u2019s playful, fun but does not hold back or take any prisoners in gameplay. She will not go easy on you, but has lots of compassion.<\/p>\n \u201cShe has a heart of fire, and that burns strong, and that comes out in her personality but also in her gameplay, sportsmanship, and compassion for contenders. She is a crowd pleaser and loves the interaction with the audience and experience of Gladiators. She is a weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n Of your fellow Gladiators, who would you least like to go up against and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s hard to say because it depends on what event it is, but I would probably say Fury. She\u2019s used to contact sports and if she went through Gauntlet or Powerball, I\u2019d be scared about holding her back.<\/p>\n \u201cI could take on any of the guy Gladiators, especially Legend, I could take him down easily!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div> Gladiators starts on BBC One on Saturday 13th January at 5:50pm. <\/strong>Looking for something else to watch?
