Gabby Logan on resilience, reinvention, and making TV history

Gabby Logan on resilience, reinvention, and making TV history

Author: Kate Thornton March 14, 2025 Duration: 1:04:52

Joining us today is a trailblazer in sports broadcasting, a former international gymnast turned award-winning presenter who’s become one of the most respected voices at the heart of some of the UK’s biggest sporting moments: it’s the brilliant Gabby Logan!


In this episode, Gabby reflects on her transition from athlete to broadcaster and the resilience that has defined her career since she faced the shock of being let go by ITV mid-World Cup while juggling life as a new mum to one-year-old twins. Now, she’s stepping into one of the most iconic roles in football as part of the Match of the Day presenting team — she shares what it means to her and how it feels to take on such a landmark role.


She also opens up about life beyond broadcasting, where she’s navigating the empty nest phase as her twins set off on their own big adventures, rediscovering life as a couple with her husband Kenny, and diving into her passion for health, longevity, and midlife reinvention.


If you can’t get enough of Gabby, tune into her hit podcast The Midpoint wherever you get your podcasts, and catch her making history on Match of the Day next season alongside Kelly Cates and Mark Chapman.

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens after a glass or two of wine, where guards come down and real stories emerge. That’s the atmosphere White Wine Question Time captures so perfectly. Hosted by Kate Thornton, each episode gathers well-known friends for a relaxed yet revealing chat, structured around three thoughtful questions and, of course, a shared bottle. What unfolds is less a formal interview and more a glimpse into the genuine friendships behind the public personas. You’ll hear laughter, unexpected confessions, and perspectives on culture, society, and current events that rarely make the headlines. This podcast thrives in the space between entertainment and intimate disclosure, often veering into comedy as these candid discussions unfold. With a vast back catalogue of over 450 episodes, each one feels like pulling up a chair to a fascinating table. Whether you start with the latest release or browse the extensive archive, you’re guaranteed a listen that’s as engaging and relevant as it is genuinely enjoyable.
