Gabby Logan, whose real name is Gabrielle, is currently in Paris for the 2024 Olympics where she is presenting for the BBC - but her childhood was not without its hardships
Welsh TV presenter Gabby Logan may be living a happy and successful life now, but her past is marked by a heartbreaking tragedy.
When she was just 19 years old, her younger brother Daniel tragically passed away. He collapsed while playing football in their back garden with their dad and died from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition that causes the heart muscle cells to enlarge and the walls of the heart chambers to thicken, making it difficult for the heart to hold and pump blood. Daniel was only 15-years-old at the time.
She admitted that it took time, therapy, and growing older and wiser to realise that those things are important, but in a different way. The 51 year old confessed that she probably wasn't the most supportive friend during that period, as she found it hard to relate to the 'trivial' problems her friends often complained about - she was too consumed by grief to care.
"I'd met him at Durham, you know, so he didn't know me before . He didn't know the before-me. He only knew the after-me."
