BBC presenter Gabby Logan has opened up about her family life, revealing that her teenage children cringe at one of her habits. On her Mid Point podcast, she chatted with ex-Dragons' Den star Sara Davies about one difference they've noticed between the north and south of England.
Having grown up in Leeds and now living in Buckinghamshire, Gabby noted a stark contrast in social interactions, especially in London. She told Sara, "People don't even want to make eye contact."
‌
Gabby recounted her experiences on the Tube: "I go on the Tube quite a lot at the moment, and it just always amazes me how nobody looks at each other. I'll try and catch somebody's eye and just smile, and people don't even want to make eye contact. I know it's a cliché, but it's just so true."
‌
Despite sharing how she thinks there is one major cultural difference between the two halves of the country, Gabby tries to maintain her friendly demeanour by greeting passers-by—something her 19-year-old children find mortifying. She shared: "When I do try and practise that—my kids are 19 now, so they've grown up with it, they've grown up seeing me doing these kinds of things—they go 'eughh.' They get so embarrassed."

She added: "They'll say, 'I can't believe you just said that. You don't know that person—why did you say she looks nice? Why did you say her hair looks nice?' And then I'll say, 'You'd love it if someone paid you a compliment.'"

In addition, Gabby has opened up about another facet of her relationship with her two children, contemplating the adjustments she's made as they've left home: "I came back from work recently and I thought, 'This is the future—I don't know if I can live in a house this quiet.'"

She continued: "It's a big step change. (But) I've got to embrace it. When you have kids, you want them to fly, have their own lives, and be independent."
‌
Over time, Gabby has become one of the most esteemed figures in sports broadcasting, presenting coverage of a host of major sporting events, including the 2012 London Olympics, European Championships, World Cups, and Champions League finals.
