Gladiators star ties the knot in stunning ceremony with body-builder fiancée
GLADIATORS star Zack ‘Steel’ George has tied the knot with his fiancée in a stunning ceremony.
Zack, 34, married body-builder Samantha Brown, 30, today – as seen by The Sun in snaps shared by weightlifter Ryan Lucas-Lowther, 33.
While the newleyweds, who share a daughter named Ivy, haven’t made an official announcement yet, one of their guests posted all about it on Instagram earlier on.
In shots shared by Ryan, each of the happy couple are seen beaming from ear-to-ear while posing for photos with him at a breathtaking stately home.
Zack put on a suave display in a burgundy three-piece suit while his bride looked beautiful in a traditional white gown.
In his caption, the sportsperson wrote: “Wedding of the year.”
It certainly has been a big year for Zack.
Back in January, he swapped his usual CrossFit to take part in the BBC reboot of Gladiators.
Having already won the UK’s Fittest Man title in 2020, he joined the all-new cast and took on the alter ego of Steel.
Zack was first motivated to help people with their fitness after undertaking his own personal fitness journey as a teenager.
At the time, he shared his hopes to inspire a new, young generation of fans to get into fitness as well.
Talking about his role, Zack said: “I was inspired by the Gladiators as a child, but never imagined I’d be physically fit enough to be considered a ‘superhuman’!
“I hope a new generation of fans will look up to me as their new strong, unbreakable hero, Steel.”
But Zack hasn’t always been so body confident and he has talked about struggling with confidence when he was a child, and his past addiction to fast food.
He previously said: “My dad could tell I was quite unhappy, I used to try and skip swimming lessons because I was so self-conscious of how I looked and didn’t take my top off.”
Zack added to Metro.co.uk: “I used to have McDonald’s and KFC three or four times a week, it was a really unhealthy lifestyle.”
He said he was just 12 when he made the decision to get fitter and, with the support of his parents, sparked the journey that led to him becoming one of the new Gladiators.
The TV personality continued: “Without saying it, they came on the journey with me, we all cleaned up our diet, we didn’t have chocolate or sweets in the house.
“It’s crazy looking back because when I was younger and overweight, I used to watch Gladiators and draw a pretend six pack on my stomach, because I could never think about ever having abs.”
The Sun has contacted Zack for comment, via the BBC.
