Eunice Huthart - Gladiators

Eunice Huthart made her first appearance on Gladiators in 1994, and went on to become the female series champion that year. In the Grand Final, she and Kerryn Sampey had an exciting Eliminator where Eunice fell down the Travelator twice, and Kerryn was able to pass her, but she fell down it too. Eunice was able to reach to top of the Travelator and swing to victory.

Following her triumph in the domestic series, Eunice advanced forward to the international series. While running the Gauntlet in the international series final, Eunice got into a spot of bother with American Gladiator, Ice, who was the first Gladiator she had to get past. As Eunice ran towards her, Ice raised her Ramrod and struck Eunice in the face. Eunice got to the end in just over 20 seconds which earned her five points. However, Eunice lost her cool and went back after Ice which earned her a telling off from referee, John Anderson. Eunice went on the win the international series.

After doing International Gladiators, Eunice was invited back to the show to become a Gladiator for the 1995 Sheffield Live Shows, and was given the name "Blaze". Eunice's time as a Gladiator was brief, however, as she wanted to represent her country in the Ashes series in Australia where she lost to her opponent from the domestic series final, Kerryn Sampey in the final. However, Eunice returned to win the 1995 Battle of the Champions, beating Australia's Bernie Withers in an exciting Eliminator which was almost a repeat of the domestic series final against Kerryn Sampey; Eunice fell down the Travelator the first time she ran up it, allowing Bernie to pass her, but she slipped down it as well, and Eunice was able to reach the top and earn the victory. Afterwards, Eunice decided to retire from competing in Gladiators, realising she was at the top of her game, and the time was right for her to bow out.

She did however return to the show in a coaching capacity for Season 5 of Gladiators. The series was billed as "The Challenge" with contenders from the North facing contenders from the South. Eunice's role was as Northern team coach and her duties were to advise and support her contenders throughout the series. However in the grand final, both her male and female contenders lost to their southern counterparts, coached by Male Season 2 champion Phil Norman.
