She has hosted live coverage of the World Athletics Championships in 2013, [13] and the European Athletics Championships and Commonwealth Games in 2014. If you've got certain people looking after you, that can fuel that behaviour and I can see that now. BBC presenter Logan claims the duo "laughed their heads off at their little 'comedy' routine", which left her "embarrassed" and she regarded as "cruel, bearing in mind they both had children and wives of their own". Richard Keys has referred an extract from Gabby Logan's memoir to his lawyers "with a view to proceeding with libel action" over what he describes as "wildly inaccurate allegations".
