Born in Middlesbrough , where she studied at the Billingham Campus School.

Youdale competed in gymnast events and was North of England Junior Gymnastics Champion for four years. One of her first television appearances was in the 1983 Thames Television show Junior Gymnast of the Year, where she finished in fifth place with 32.70 points.

She acted with the National Youth Theatre. She studied dance at London Contemporary School for Dance and was a member of the National Youth Dance Company. She also worked at Farnham Sports Centre before getting her big television break. Gladiators

She appeared on Gladiators from 1992 to 1996 - her last domestic series was series 4 in 1995. She left the show after hurting her back in a fall on an unaired show in which she fell awkwardly as she tackled a contender while competing on the pyramid - trapping nerves in her neck. She later stated:

“I was beginning to see more spinal injuries. You can damage your ankle or your knee and it will recover, but breaking your neck – that’s a different story. After my accident, I decided to quit while I could. I decided it wasn’t worth it any more. I wanted to leave while I could still walk out of the studio. I love hiking and I didn’t want that to be taken from me for the sake of someone’s entertainment.” [2]

As a consequence of her injury, the pyramid was suspended for one series and a change in the rules was necessitated[citation needed] (which was later adopted for the 2008 revival of the American series). Later career

Youdale developed her young fan base, becoming a children's television presenter as "The Games Mistress" on the video game show series Games World

In the year 2000 Diane worked for a short period as a sports teaching assistant at the Royal School Haslemere specialising in dance and athletics.

A bulimic in her teenage years, Youdale trained as a psychotherapist and Pilates instructor. In April 2007 she appeared on the Trisha Goddard show on Five and in September 2007 she was correctly identified as a Gladiator on the BBC2 quiz show Identity.

On 2 July 2008 it was announced that Sky have plans to do several years of the revival of hit show Gladiators. Diane Youdale, following an interview with Loaded magazine quotes that "Sky reckon they're going to run it for three to four years so I've said to them why not wait until the last ever episode and then I make my comeback then?" she commented. However that will all depend on how well the show does in the ratings.[3]

She has a long association with the Middlesbrough-based station, her dad Jack Youdale having been the 'in-house' astronomer for its two previous incarnations, BBC Radio Teesside and BBC Radio Cleveland from the start of transmissions the same year Diane was born (31 December 1970).

Youdale appeared on Russell Howard's Good News in December 2010 as a mystery guest.

She appeared on 19 April 2012 episode of Celebrity Juice. She also appeared on The Big Fat Quiz of the '90s in 2013.

She has appeared on the spin-off series Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side and also Big Brother's Bit on the Side since 2013, analysing the housemate's behaviour within the Big Brother House. Personal life

Youdale married and resided for a period in the London area as she trained in psychotherapy.[4] After separation and divorce, Diane spends her time between North East England and Surrey where she works as a psychotherapist and is launching her own EQ company Soul Dynamics. She enjoys long walks, exercising and is a keen surfer. It says on the front page of wiki that Diane’s partner is Andy Mcglynn it is confirmed he is not[5]
