Having met purely by chance, Gabby has previously recalled how she met Kenny while drinking in a bar in Chelsea, London, with friends. After Kenny finally plucked up the courage to go over and speak to the sports presenter, Gabby told the Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast that her husband got her name wrong when later speaking to his friends—saying he referred to her as another famous presenter, Gabby Roslin.

Looking back on one particular occasion when their competitive spirit was on full display, she recalled how a game of family rounders didn't exactly go according to plan, saying there was confusion over the number of balls they were using. She shared how tempers flared during a game of rounders (Image: Visionhaus/Getty Images ) Recalling the moment she "lost it," she said: "I said third ball, and Kenny went, 'No, playing two balls, there's too many people to go.' And I absolutely lost it." She added: "And my niece and nephew, who were about eight and nine at the time, were watching their aunty go, 'No, no, no, when did we change the rules?'" Away from her home life, Gabby's career has gone from strength to strength in recent months, after she was announced as one-third of a new presenting trio set to replace Gary Lineker on Match of the Day.
