If you enjoyed this conversation, please do me a little favour and hit the subscribe button – we’ve got so many amazing conversations I’m looking forward to sharing with you ❤️ (thank you!) x Steven
Lung is the most common cancer death in men in the UK, not prostate. 18,000 rather than 12,000, but I’m glad she is raising awareness
I remember her wearing a completely see thru dress at Wimbledon back in the day, great bod, really attractive woman
Gabby is just so lovely!
First episode I came across was with Alex Scott now this one. I'm now backtracking to watch all of them. Brilliant episodes looking forward to watching the rest of them
Having endured the loss of my sister when she was 15 and two cousins in tragic accidents, listening to Gabby recount her grief and its impact was a stark reminder of my own grief and how I got through it. Very honest, very open and for those going through the grief process much needed. I really got the loss of empathy and patience. Great interview
I heard Steven mention talking to the CEO of Bumble? Have we had that episode or is it in the future?
Have learned so much from this amazing podcast. Great interviewer steve, keep up the good work!
Gabby is utterly fantastic. She is really adored by us all. I wept when I watched this interview and I have now subscribed as Steven requested. It's such an important and wonderful thing.
Respect ❤
Wow…I feel so elevated from listening to this epic dialogue. I love the depth of this topic. Thank you both <3
lovely lady ❤️
Love your ability to talk to people and cherish truth and simplicity , thank you . I subscribed today:)
Steven's podcasts are hands down the best podcasts out there, globally ! – Gaby was amazing, I really see here becoming the UK's version of Oprah!
Why do you hope no one is listening 😂
Loved this episode…Gabby is so eloquent and would be brilliant hosting a TV chat show. Hope it happens for her.
Shame about the ad 45 mins in which spoilt this episode but I suppose that's a Landan fing!! Could listen to Miss Logan talk all day!! 😎
Every conversation with your guests is like gold.. just superb!! I’ve learnt so much from you and your guests.. keep up fantastic work.. thank you SB
The time stamps are so useful, thank you. Gabby is fascinating and super smart, could listen to hear for hours. I can see how the profound sudden loss of her brother would have changed her and turned her entire family’s lives upside down.
Smart lady
I have always loved Gabby. She is very articulate and kind. You are so down to earth. All the best.
I can see it ‘ The Gabby Logan Show’ get it done please. What a talented superstar
Powerful. Well done Gabby.
I'm old enough to have been able to see Terry Yorath and Kenny Logan play, and Gabby begin her journey as a commentator – rugby and football being my passions, so I really enjoyed this episode. I was aware of the sad events of her brother passing away, and watched the horrific Bradford City fire unfold on the tv..😓😢
great great interview
I was captured from start to end. Gabby is wonderful and I can't wait for her own talk show..
Shes so inspiring
IF CARLSBERG DID PODCASTS. THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE…………..
My heart goes out to you, hearing your life story is just heartwarming, a special connection ❤️ so much respect ❣️
So smart on every level 💜
Iv'e always liked Gabby, I remenber her dad playing and managing, my estimation of her only increased when she did her stand up for sport relief, that takes guts, I find it so annoying to hear about sexism in the workplace, if I knew who they were, if they were front of camera, I would just outright refuse to watch them, there are 2 that were called out over a decade ago and I never watch them, she's smart, funny. beautiful, loyal, down to earth and i'll be honest, prefer her to Gary Lineker on MOTD
‘I hope nobody’s listening but if you are…’ what a stupid intro. STFU
I feel sorry for Gabby for being forced to work with the likes of Andy Gray who is a misogynist and a bigot, then there's his shadow aka Richard Keys.
Other football pundits I can imagine being difficult to work with would be Jamie Carragher, Ron Atkinson and Glenn Hoddle.
What an impressive lady. Huge respect, and a high-quality, fascinating interview.
You guys changed the thumbnail?

She looks AMAZING 🤩 during this menopause! Ageing gracefully! x
This is totally weird! While she was talking just before the end. I was thinking she should have her own talk show! I wonder why she hasn’t. Is there a market. Then Trisha’s show came to mind. I thought hmm does talk show do well in the U.K. etc. She really could!!! She would be really good! Literally thinking this not knowing that’s her dream.
It’s weird! Honestly but I am happy at the same time. My intuition is on point 👏🏾😊😊! I echo everything Steve Barlett said!!! She has the right attitude, charisma, empathy and support!
So happy she encouraged her partner to get the test done! Proud of her! Don’t know her deeply! I enjoyed hearing her story!
Thank you Steve
Heartbreaking. Beautifully crafted interview. Gabby must be a great mum.
Such a gorgeous clever woman, stay strong.
So humble ❤
I think women these days are often parachuted into covering sport on TV without the necessary talent or experience . Gabby on the other hand is a master of her craft. She is way under used. I'd watch her doing anything on TV cause she knows how to do TV.
Can someone please explain why he says I hope no one’s listening but if you are please keep this to yourself before every interview?
How devastating it must be for a child to die or take their own life !so sad for families .God give strength.
We don’t want bigger guests just interesting ones 🙂
Always been inspired by Gabby. The way she talks so openly about her childhood makes you realise that you're not alone. I'm going to buy her book now. She would be a great talk show host and I think you should have one too Steven. You are so thoughtful and appreciative of your guests, i'm sure they feel very special when they leave your studio.
Please would like to have candance owens on the show, as I think you would get a very different look on many things!
The best interview so honest and she's the best well done
what a,wonderful interview
She didn't give herself the credit she's due. She's such a strong, clever, intelligent person and I'm sure Kenny feels as lucky to have her in his life and she feels about him. I really enjoyed listening to this
