Gabby Logan got so emotional talking about her husband's 'horrible' battle with cancer that she broke down in tears.
Former Scots rugby star Kenny Logan, 50, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February this year after Gabby, 49, urged him to go to the doctors. Opening up about the moment they were given the worrying news, the mum-of-two told Steven Bartlett's The Diary of a CEO podcast: "He [Kenny] was really upset as you can imagine and I just thought, 'Right no, this is going to be absolutely fine, what are we going to do? What are the answers here?'
"His neurologist was brilliant, he's a brilliant communicator and told us what the options were and I was like, (to Kenny) 'We've just to get a plan together, you need to know what you're doing and then we will keep being positive about it.' That's what we did really, once we got over the initial shock, we just really kind of focused on it as a project we had to deal with and it's a b****y awful operation."
Despite the devastating diagnosis, Gabby said she knew deep-down she "wasn't going to lose" her husband, with whom she shares two children. As she went on to say how his cancer battle had made them stronger, the BBC Sports presenter struggled to hold back the tears.
Revealing Kenny had to have six stab wounds in his torso, which were "really invasive", Gaby said: "It's horrible to see him in the pain he was afterwards, it's a horrible thing to go through but he's doing really really well now." As she let the tears flow, before composing herself, the BBC Sports presenter concluded: "He's just great, I'm very lucky. "He's a great man and I couldn't ever wish for anybody to have shared my life with, who is better."
Gabby and Kenny got married in 2001 two years after meeting. The couple have twins, Reuben and Lois, 16, who were conceived after IVF treatment.
Gabby recently spoke about her IVF journey, telling fertility podcast Making Babies: "It was probably three years from trying naturally to having IVF. The whole process of the IVF was stressful, we treated it like a sports schedule. I was trying to see it as a treatment almost.”
The presenter was full of praise for Kenny for being so supportive throughout the process, saying the couple were initially told by medics neither of them had any problems and that the Scottish rugby star had all the checks before he proposed.
