Gladiator Fox, alias Tam Baker, couldn't resist getting on her bike at Sunday's Oxford Mail Motorshow.

Fox opened the event and then toured the stands with editor Pat Fleming.

And Tam, who has just passed her motorbike test in Oxford, took a special interest in the bike section at the show.

The 28-year-old, who runs her own personal training company in Kensington, London, said: "I've always been interested in motorbikes and wanted to do my test so that I could ride motorbikes both for pleasure and to further my career.

"I want to get into action movies and stunt work as well as modelling for bike magazines."

Motorcycle dealers taking part in the event included Zoom Motorcycles, Premier Bikes, Kings Two Wheels and Crowmarsh Classics.

Visitors also had the chance to see the Medibike, paid for thanks to 17,000 donated by readers of the Oxford Mail, and supplied by Abingdon Motorcycles, of Marcham Road, Abingdon.

Paramedic Eddie Webb said: "There was a lot of interest in the Medibike. People said it was pleasing to see the end result of the Oxford Mail's fundraising campaign."
