Zoe Williams Facts
- She was brought up in the north of England, in Lancashire.
- Williams developed a passion for competitive sport from her childhood. While she was at school, she used to play hockey and netball at the county level. Her love of team sports continued when she attended Newcastle University, and she joined a rugby team. She has been an ardent fan of the sport and has represented Northumberland at rugby union.
- In 2009, she founded the organization named Sportsgirls, which has aimed to increase the physical activity of teenage girls by educating and encouraging them to be healthier and more active. In 2013, workshops were developed for boys as well and the group got renamed as Fit4Life.
- Williams has remembered that as a kid growing up in the 1990s, she used to watch the original Gladiators, and getting the opportunity to be one was one of the most incredible feeling she has ever had. Zoe has recalled that she was an F2 doctor when she had applied to be a contestant on Gladiators, which had led to the invitation to join the cast of the program. She was the “green Gladiator” and became the face of Sky’s green campaign along with being an ambassador for environmentally friendly lifestyle choices.
- Her one-year break from medicine was like a whirlwind, but she had the most fun with the camera, lights, and costumes when shooting for Gladiators. Zoe has added that spending the months with the team of the show, and getting to know them as well as their stories had taught her about the huge impact physical activity can have on the life of a person, that included the emotional and psychological benefits too.
