An original Crystal Maze contestant from 1992 is returning to the rebooted series

As we’ve mentioned before, Channel 4’s rebooted Crystal Maze has a lot in common with the 90s original – same humour, same format, same zones, and even some of the same behind-the-scenes team – but this week will see its first direct onscreen crossover.

You see, Friday’s episode will include a contestant who actually appeared on the series in its original guise waaaaaay back in 1992, with Heather Grimes (then Heather Wilson) winning her team two crystals (in the Aztec and Medieval Zones) but sadly departing with just a commemorative crystal.
