Speaking:

How did Gabby make the transition from a Commonwealth Games Rhythmic Gymnast to ITV’s and BBC Principal Football Presenter? Just how difficult was it making her way up the broadcast ladder as a woman in a man’s world?

Gabby talks of her experiences from a lifetime spent in a male-dominated sporting arena to the motivation needed to reach the top of her chosen profession and then to stay there, the teamwork required to be able to present a programme such as the Champions League Final and the leadership skills she uses to make everything run smoothly in front of the cameras.
