This Morning viewers couldn’t believe their eyes as former Gladiators stars Hunter, Lightning and Saracen joined the sofa.
The trio looked unrecognisable as they joined hosts Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle on the show to discuss their time as part of the hit 90s primetime Saturday evening show.
Lightning reminisced about their time on the show as she admitted only recently realising just how huge it was.

She said: “It’s only now as well that I realise, and I still get lots of stories being sent to me saying, ‘you inspired me so much, you changed my life, you motivated me,’ and you think, ‘wow’, it really was quite powerful.
The message that it out across and how it did inspire and change people’s lives.”
The trio also discussed the possibility of a reboot – and didn’t rule out a return to sparring on screen if they were asked by the BBC who now own the rights to the programme.
Fans watching then took to Twitter to discuss their appearance on the show and the possibility of a reboot.
One wrote: “If they’re really bringing Gladiators back, for the actual Gladiators themselves they should strike up a deal with #WWE. Both the US and UK rosters are so full, they could absolutely spare some talent to take part.”
Another added: “The big problem of bringing back 90s game shows is that they’re all too polished! Just look at the new Crystal Maze and the last time they tried to bring back Gladiators. I want that 90s look too.”
A third joked: “Seeing some of the former Gladiators on #ThisMorning reminds me of the joke that went around at the time: ‘If I was a Gladiator, my name would be Harrier. So I could jump Jet!'”
A fourth social media user posted: “Bloody hell Lightning, Saracen and Hunter have barely aged a day and look amazing. #Gladiators #ThisMorning.”
A fifth noted : “Bloomin loved #Gladiators and how fab do they look still #ThisMorning.”
Another fan agreed: “Saracen still got it going on! Wowoweewah! #thismorning.”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10 am on ITV and ITV Hub.
