West Midlands Ambulance paramedic takes on the Gladiators
Zoe Mcintosh, who started her career in Staffordshire, is on tonight's show.
A West Midlands Ambulance paramedic is swapping her uniform for lycra and a helmet, as she takes on the Gladiators tonight (20 January).
Zoe Mcintosh is one of the contenders appearing on the TV show, after beating thousands of other applicants to take on the challenge.
Zoe, who has worked for the West Midlands Ambulance Trust since 2018, said: “I wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps as he applied to take part in the original Gladiators in 1998, and the whole experience was amazing.
“The filming took place in front of thousands. Fortunately, my family, friends and work colleagues were there to cheer me on.
“I took part in several games during filming and my strength and speed was truly tested against the Gladiators.
"It was so much fun and a great experience. I hope everyone enjoys watching the show and I make all of WMAS proud.”
Zoe started her career as a paramedic in Staffordshire, before moving to one of WMAS’s Emergency Operations Centres, in the Black Country, to work in the Clinical Validation Team.
