The First Half

Product Information

Whether it's presenting the Olympics, dancing on Strictly or chatting to guests on her hugely popular podcast, Gabby Logan has been a much-loved broadcaster and a fixture in our lives for over 25 years. BBC presenter Logan claims the duo "laughed their heads off at their little 'comedy' routine", which left her "embarrassed" and she regarded as "cruel, bearing in mind they both had children and wives of their own". Anyone who has watched Logan host live sport with its unpredictabilites will know she’s good under pressure and as a former athlete, in good physical shape, so a reality TV show like BBC’s Freeze the Fear with ‘The Iceman’ Wim Hof would seem a good fit, but she could never have predicted how it would put her in touch with her more vulnerable side.

Not that I’m going to go around getting myself into a deep transcendental state giving people messages from the other side, but I feel like we could all be a bit more connected.A smitten Logan excitedly approached the then 20-year-old in Browns nightclub until a bouncer appeared at their side, relaying the simple but unrelenting message from her prophetic father: "No footballers. In June 2012, Logan was named by The Times newspaper as one of several people to have put money into a film and tax avoidance scheme.

Being ‘middle aged and beige’ is something Logan addressed in her podcast Midlife and it’s not something she’s ever likely to be accused of being in ‘The Second Half’. Meeting famous faces has become second nature for Gabby, who anchored the Women's Euro's earlier this summer and will be a key part of the BBC's coverage of the Qatar World Cup next month. In August 2014, Logan was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian expressing their hope that Scotland would vote to remain part of the United Kingdom in September's referendum on that issue.Her successful career has come through so much hard work and determination and her love for her friends and family shines through. On what she infers about others, rather than being specific, let’s just throw a load of mud - mixed with fanciful stories - and see what sticks. The 49-year-old opens up on "family, love, loss, determination, devastating lows and the highest of highs" in her first book released this week.
