Gabby Logan is one of the main BBC presenters for the 2026 World Cup, joining Mark Chapman, Alex Scott, and Kelly Cates after Gary Lineker left the BBC last year. Express Sport delves into Logan's broadcasting career and personal life.
Net Worth and Earnings
With a reported net worth of approximately £4 million, Logan is the highest-earning woman in sports journalism. According to Sportcasting via SPORTbible, she earned £210,000 in 2024, ranking seventh among Britain's top-earning sports presenters and pundits.
Broadcasting Journey
The daughter of Welsh football legend Terry Yorath, who died earlier this year, Logan was a rhythmic gymnast for Wales at the 1990 Commonwealth Games. She began broadcasting in 1992, moved to Sky Sports in 1996, and fronted Sport Relief for the BBC in 2004 before joining the corporation in 2007. In 2008, she hosted a breakfast show on BBC Radio 5 Live. She has covered events including Final Score, Invictus Games, MOTD Six Nations, World Swimming Championships, the 2022 World Cup, and the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Personal Life
Gabby married former Scotland rugby star Kenny Logan in 2001, taking his surname. Kenny, a winger, won three Premiership titles with Wasps and one Scottish Premiership with Stirling County, earning 70 caps for Scotland. They have twins, Reuben and Lois, born in 2005. Both appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2007; Gabby finished 12th with James Jordan, while Kenny reached fifth place with Ola Jordan. Kenny was diagnosed with prostate cancer but was given the all-clear in 2022.
Stunning Home
Logan used her income to buy a beautiful Edwardian mansion in Buckinghamshire, where she lives with Kenny. She told The Metro: "It's an Edwardian house with a lot of character, but we have done loads of work to bring it right up to date. It is incredibly sunny and has loads of light, which I love." The property features an open-plan kitchen and dining area with cream walls, black marble worktops, and a waterfall island. During the pandemic, she turned her living room into a studio. The bedroom has light grey walls and cream furnishings, plus a private dressing room. She also has a home gym with a jump box, treadmill, spin bike, and cross trainer.
