BBC presenter Gabby Logan has opened up about the emotional side of her job, admitting that after 30 years in television, she is still moved to tears by sporting performances. The 52-year-old broadcaster, who recently won the Sports Presenter, Commentator or Pundit award at the Royal Television Society Awards, said telling the stories of athletes continues to inspire her.
Speaking exclusively to the Express, Logan said: 'I've been doing this for 30 years, and I still get brought to tears by performances and hope that the audience at home is as touched as I feel about the people that we're talking about.' She highlighted the progress in women's sport, calling it 'beautiful' to see women achieve in events like the Euros and World Cup.
Logan also addressed the challenges of working in the public eye. She noted that while she has been in the industry long enough to simply get on with her job, she remains aware of her actions. 'Working for the BBC is a very important institution, but I don't think I change my behaviour massively. I just try and be as authentic as possible,' she said.
The former gymnast and mother of twins Lois and Reuben, 20, recently took over Match of the Day duties alongside Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates. She attended the Royal Television Society Awards in a green Victoria Beckham dress, which she had previously worn to Holly Ramsay's wedding. Logan praised the designer, saying her dresses 'always seem to work well' for her.
