    Gabby Logan: My biggest mistakes and why I’m owning up to them
    May 18 2026
    In an intimate conversation that spans the highs of a 30-year broadcasting career to the deeply personal depths of family grief, Gabby Logan opens up about the moments that truly define her. The trailblazing presenter reflects on her 'soulful' journey – one marked by the early loss of her brother and a career that she was once told would expire before she hit 30. Gabby shares the touching story of the 'sliding doors' night she met her husband of 25 years, Kenny Logan, and the secret to their enduring support for one another. In a particularly moving segment, she recalls the "privileged" final hours spent with her father, Terry Yorath.
