GLADIATORS star Falcon left a huge sum in her will following her death aged 59 last year.
Bernadette Hunt became a favourite on the obstacle course game show after training as a ballerina and an aerobics teacher.
The all-round gladiator sadly passed away after a long cancer battle in March last year.
She left nearly £300,000 to her family in her will, probate documents have revealed.
She left £444,000 in her estate, reduced to £293,000 once debts and costs were removed.
The huge sum, and the star’s property and possessions, were split between her son Adam and young daughter Angel.
Hunt, of Ely, Cambs, asked to be cremated at a private family service.
Family members said that she had been battling cancer for years before she died.
The ex-champion bodybuilder fell into TV by mistake after an injury stopped her from taking a place at the London Contemporary Ballet School.
She won Miss Natural Health and Miss London before telly execs signed her up for Gladiators in 1993.
Given the stage name Falcon, Hunt became one of the most feared opponents for contestants trying to win the £10k top prize.
Hunt starred in the ITV hit – drawing in millions of viewers a week – until 1999.
After quitting the show she became a personal trainer, holding classes at a gym in her hometown of Basingstoke, Hants.
The aerobics expert turned down the chance to appear in Sky’s 2008 Gladiators series reboot, deciding to “keep a low profile” instead.
The legend married and became a mother-of-two while continuing to keep active.
She was also a top fundraiser for charity groups Help the Aged and Children with Leukaemia.
The show led tributes after her death, writing: “Many fans will remember Falcon as the most lovely, warm, generous person with a beaming smile.”
