Most recently, the mum of two, who is married to former Scotland rugby union player Kenny Logan, has turned author to pen her autobiography, The First Half.

Logan was one of a small number of female sports presenters to have made the transition to terrestrial television. I think I’ve been lucky enough to be part of an incredible turning of the tanker and whoever was doing my job was going to be lucky enough to see that.So to get through those things - it’s not that I want to become somebody that regularly jumps off a 500 foot bridge - but knowing you can get rid of those blockages, no matter how old you are or what you’re doing in life, that it’s possible to change your mindset, that was a really brilliant thing to come home with. Hachette Australia acknowledges and pays our respects to the past, present and future Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. But looking back over my life I realise we are all a product of the things that happen to us along the way, even the most fleeting of conversations with a stranger, and by gathering my turning points and life-changing moments together, I have found a way of telling the story of my life - a story of family, love, loss, determination, devastating lows and the highest of highs. The former is when she’s recounting how she and husband Kenny met the Oasis singer at a bar in Barbados on holiday, an evening which saw the rugby player demonstrating a friendly but firm head lock on the Gallagher in a discussion over the merits of football versus rugby and the singer deciding that Gabby was the reincarnation of John Lennon.

It took me a long time to work that out and it was very freeing when I decided I couldn’t do anything any more. But the book was only 99p and I quite enjoy behind the scenes TV and film stories so I coughed up and thought I'd read just the first chapter. 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.Got my records in two separate shipments but seller explained items may come from different warehouse locations. Whether it's the heart-breaking early death of her brother, her father's alcoholism, navigating sexism at work or the time she almost became the Rose of Tralee by accident, The First Half is an entertaining, absorbing, inspirational memoir which will make you laugh and cry.

But I felt it was important to own your bad behaviour - we don't make the right decisions all the time and for some reason I wasn't making the right decisions then. According to Logan, seemingly everyone from a Sky Sports intern to Starbucks barista has somehow insulted her. How sad that somebody I haven’t seen for 30 years - and for whom I went out of my way to help start their career - feels the need to take the cheap and inaccurate option by smearing me – together with virtually everyone in the industry (including, it seems, the entire Sky business) – in her upcoming autobiography.Former international rhythmic gymnast turned television host Gabby Logan is a regular on our television screens, thanks to her duties presenting everything from the Commonwealth Games to the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022. She made her debut TV appearance was when she was chosen as the Leeds Rose of Tralee competition in 1991. On Saturday night, Keys wrote on Twitter: "With reference to an article published by The Mail on Sunday written by Ms Gabby Logan. Sunglasses, reading glasses, a very small purse, usually a small make-up bag, AirPods, a hairbrush, sometimes my iPad, sometimes a reading book, and a bottle of water. Which is that she tried a bit too hard, was a bit pushy, and that I probably wouldn't like her much in real life (her loss, of course, as I am totally great and flawless).

I know she has an axe to grind because Sky terminated her first deal, but I knew most of the people she goes after at SSN and my experience of them was totally the opposition to Logan’s. In last week’s Mail on Sunday serialisation of Gabby Logan’s autobiography, The First Half, she revealed in candid detail the boorish sexism she was forced to endure as she climbed her way to the top of TV sport. When you look at it now it feels insane even saying it, but it was so powerful and real, there was no doubt in my mind what was happening and of course Tamsin and I had a real bond from then. Yet rather than self-destruct at the death of her brother seven years later, she suppressed her grief.By completing your purchase, you agree to Audible's Conditions of Use and authorise Audible to charge your designated card or any other card on file.
