Gladiators' Comet star Ella-Mae Rayner ties the knot with her husband James Exton for a second time in lavish Greek ceremony as she shares stunning snaps

Gladiators' Comet star Ella-Mae Rayner has tied the knot for a second time with her husband James Exton as the pair jetted off to Greece for the lavish nuptials. 

The gymnast revealed she'd married her partner James last month in a chic celebration in St Albans. 

And on Friday the pair headed to Greece to do it all over again as she took to Instagram to share an array of stunning snaps by Melina Foteinou Photography on Sunday. 

Ella-Mae looked sensational in a fishtail white bridal gown from Emma Beaumont which featured a long train and elegant lacy veil. 

The star made sure to show off her impressive physique in the gown which was also backless and embroidered with button-up detailing.  

Meanwhile James kept it simple in a black suit and open-collared white shirt. 

Arriving on a speedboat, the pair looked lovingly into each other's eyes as they soaked up their special day. 

Ella-Mae captioned the snaps: 'Mr & Mrs Exton 04.09.26.' 

Taking to the comments their friends rushed to send their congratulations as they penned: 'Absolutely breathtaking!!! Congratulations to the mosttttt beautiful couple so much love xxxx.'

'Stunning!! Congratulations'; 'Huge congratulations to you both!!'

The couple officially tied the knot in the UK last month and Ella-Mae swapped her metallic leotard for an elegant wedding suit that consisted of a chic white fitted blazer over a silk skirt, with a mini train.

She teamed the outfit with an oversized white hat and veil, while James matched his wife with a sharp white suit.

Ella-Mae shared photos from her picturesque wedding, which were taken by @yourdayunscripted, on Instagram, including one of herself and her new husband posing in front of St Albans' famous cathedral.

The couple got engaged in May 2025 in Corfu, with Ella-Mae sharing snaps that showed James getting down on one knee on a boat.

She captioned the post: 'Yes in every single lifetime. I love you forever!'

Ella-Mae joined the Gladiators lineup when it was revived by the BBC in 2024, and performs under her alter-ego Comet.

She had previously been an elite gymnast before landing the TV gig, and told the BBC at the time: 'Previously, women have been told that being muscular just makes you look like a man, but that's absolutely not the case.' 

'I have muscles but I'm a proper girly girl. I love shopping, I love beauty, I love fashion and getting all dressed up – but I also love being powerful, being strong, muscular.'

Ella-Mae added: 'I've been told that I've got one of the strongest hits on Duel [one of the show's main events], and you might think that's a game for someone who is more bulky, who looks physically stronger – but you can't judge a book by its cover.'

Comet was forced to take a break from Gladiators in 2024 when she suffered a nasty injury, falling 30ft from The Wall in an accident that nearly left her unable to walk.

While the accident wasn't broadcast, Ella-Mae went on to speak about her lengthy recovery in an interview with The Sun On Sunday.

She said: 'It just goes to show that we aren’t acting. This isn’t WWE, this is one of the toughest shows on TV.

'The injury was really, really tough but I had the team around me and everyone was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better medical team.'

Filming for the fourth series of Gladiators kicked off late last month, and it's emerged that several stars have been dropped from the lineup.

It was reported that both Bionic and Athena had been dropped from series four, having missed out on the previous series due to injury.

Four new stars have been announced to join the cast, including Olympic gold medal-winning skeleton racer Tabby Stoecker.

Fitness influencer and weightlifting champ Florence Wong will be taking on the alter-ego of Huntress, while World's Strongest Man champion Tom Stoltman is also joining the show.

Bosses have also lined up rugby star Joe Marler to appear in the new series as a Celebrity Gladiator.
