How does Gabby Logan handle online trolls?
In this episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show, award-winning broadcaster Gabby Logan joins Romesh to discuss life presenting Match of the Day, handling criticism online and the pressure of live television.
Gabby opens up about balancing family life with her long-standing broadcasting career, why she stopped paying attention to online comments and what it really takes to deliver a great live interview. She also speaks candidly about her husband Kenny's prostate cancer diagnosis and why sharing his story has helped break the stigma around men's health.
From sport to Strictly Come Dancing to her comedy debut Gabby covers it all. Plus, as always, we have a question from Shanthi, a game of Misquoted and Gabby reveals to us an exclusive, or does she?
