Gabby Logan has said having a relationship with a married man in her teens has made her a better parent today. 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.
The presenter shares 17-year-old twins Reuben and Lois with her long-term husband Kenny.
Many years before meeting her spouse, Gabby was in a relationship with a married Olympian ten years her senior.
Reflecting on that period in her life, she said it’s helped understand her children’s love lives.
She explained: “When you have teenagers, it’s useful to remind yourself about your teenage years.
“My kids are going through their first relationships and falling in and out of love.
“When you’re an older person, it’s really easy to trivialise that. Then you remember how bereft [you were] and how it would literally immobilise you on your bed for a day,” she added to Radio Times Magazine.
Gabby embarked on the relationship a year after losing her brother Daniel.
In May 1992 Daniel, who was 15 at the time, died suddenly at home in Yorkshire during a kickabout in the garden.
After signing for Leeds United, he suffered hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, an inherited “sudden death” heart condition.
Gabby admitted sharing details about her heartbreaking loss in her book left her in tears prompting her to think if she could even share the details.
But not wanting to leave it out of her memoir, she acknowledged the writing process would include “sad” days.
The mother-of-two added: “I realised that [there would be] some days where I’d feel quite sad. My main thing was that I had to be honest.”

Gabby began writing her book at the start of lockdown when, like many, work had dried up due to rules.
It comes as she celebrates 30 years in broadcasting this year and will turn 50 next April.
Gabby first gained an interest in football through her dad, former Welsh international footballer and manager, Terry Logan.
She made her debut TV appearance was when she was chosen as the Leeds Rose for the Rose of Tralee competition in 1991.
Five years later, she was offered a job as a presenter on Sky Sports.
She has since gone on to present on many events, most recently the London Marathon for the BBC.
As well as presenting on television, she also hosts her podcast titled The Mid•Point.
