Gladiators star and former Olympian Montell Douglas – a self-proclaimed “queen of reinvention” – impressed us with her ballroom moves on the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing and believes that embracing new experiences is key to building both confidence and strength.“I’m the queen of reinvention, I love to try new things,” says the 39-year-old. “For me, I feel strong when I’ve just gone and tried something new for the first time. I think it gives you that vitality of life and helps keep my mind fresh.”
The athlete competed in the 100m at Beijing 2008 as well as part of the bobsleigh team at Beijing 2022 – making her the first British woman to compete in different sports at both the Olympic summer and winter games.
