If you've been watching the Olympics, you'll have caught Olympic champion Dame Jess Ennis Hill smashing the BBC live coverage. A two-time Olympic medalist specialising in the heptathlon and 100 metres hurdles, she won gold at the London Olympic games in 2012 and has forged a career for herself as a presenter since her athletic retirement in 2016.

Below, she shares her biggest life lessons and career highlights, as well as reflecting on there being more mums on Team GB than ever before and the measures the Olympic Committee has taken to make sure said athletes are supported more than ever before, including dedicated breastfeeding areas. She also discusses her own experience of starting a family mid-career when it wasn't the "done thing" with Health Writer Kimberley Dadds.
