The husband of broadcasting powerhouse Gabby Logan revealed his wife was left 'fuming' on their wedding day - after a first dance disaster he had no clue about.
Kenny Logan, 53, is a former Rugby player who represented Scotland 70 times. His last cap for his country came in 2003 but two years before that he had a wedding with Gabby, 52, where one thing did not go to plan.
They had met in 1999 at a bar in Fulham, London, and Kenny recognised the former international gymnast from the TV.
And conversing with Vernon Kay on BBC's Tracks Of My Years, he spoke about the song Lovely Day by Bill Withers. He said it was a 'very nice track' but added: 'It wasn't meant to be our wedding song.'

Their first dance was supposed to be a George Michael hit and the night before the wedding, Kenny and Gabby practised dancing to it in their bedroom.

He joked that he was not yet a "Strictly star' and needed a move to sway to.
However, as for the big moment the following day, he recalled: 'I am tone deaf on the music front and this is going to show you why. Next day, the first dance, what comes up, Lovely Day, Bill Withers, played the wrong track…
'Gabby's went, 'It is the wrong track.' She is in my ear going, 'It is the wrong track, it is the wrong track.' We had such a lovely day and we are just dancing and I had no clue. Gabby was fuming.'

Laughing, Vernon replied: 'I bet she was.'
Continuing, Kenny said: 'And everyone is going, 'that is a lovely song', but it was the wrong song!'
New Match of the Day presenter Gabby was 25 when she met Kenny and she once said she told herself 'not to screw this up' after falling for him right away. Four years after their wedding, they became parents to twins, Reuben and Lois, after IVF treatment.
Reuben, inspired by his dad's career, now plays for Northampton Saints while Lois is a showjumper who is about to study at Loughborough University.
The family went through a turbulent time in 2022 when Kenny was diagnosed with prostate cancer after a routine wellness check.

He got checked after listening to his wife's Mid•Point podcast and he eventually underwent successful surgery to remove his prostate.
The former sportsman now raises awareness about what he calls a 'silent cancer' and encourages men to have PSA tests.
