Gladiators star Falcon died after cancer battle
Bernadette, who was best known to TV fans as Falcon from Gladiators, passed away at the age of 59 last spring.
In a Facebook post, Rick Jango – her brother-in-law – revealed: “It is with great sadness that I have to tell you of the death of my partner’s younger sister Bernadette Hunt. Most people will remember her as Falcon from the hit TV Show Gladiators.”
She was one of the most lovely people I have ever met.
He added: “I had the privilege to be in her company a few times and I have to say she was one of the most lovely people I have ever met. She never had a bad word to say about anyone. Indeed she was always known as the nicest Gladiator, always stopping to speak and sign autographs for anyone.”
He then revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer a “number of years” ago. Sadly, he concluded the post: “She had been battling cancer for a number of years until sadly she lost her fight. RIP Bernie.”
