“It’s irrelevant how many children you’ve given birth to.. It really doesn’t matter how old you are… You can STILL look as good as you did in your 20’s! Or EVEN BETTER!’
Kim was inundated with comments with one user writing: ‘You look amazing,’ while another wrote: ‘You have been inspiring me with you extreme skills, strength and beauty since I was 8 years old.’
A third added: ‘Still my favourite Gladiator.’
Reminiscing about her time on the show, Kim previously said on This Morning: ‘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 much-loved Saturday night staple will be back with an eleven-episode series this Saturday – 30 years on from when it first aired.
The show saw members of the public battle it out against a cast of superhuman-like athletes known as gladiators.
Originally hosted by Ukrika Jonsson and John Fashanu, the contestants were trialled for speed, skill, stamina and strength.
The rebooted series, which will air on the BBC, is hosted by Bradley Walsh and his son Barney.

Earlier this week the BBC were also accused of nepotism after casting the father and son pair to present the reboot.
Fans of the show are furious that the BBC has cast Barney, 26, alongside Bradley, 63, without auditioning any other stars for the role.
Bosses were said to be ‘concerned’ at the signing of the pair, particularly because of the corporations’ strong policies about going through due process before hiring staff.
