The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan

In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down fellow broadcaster Sophie Raworth. Sophie is one of Britain's most recognisable faces on the BBC news for over thirty years, and someone who has covered some of the most significant moments in modern history and interviewed some of the most important figures of our time. But this conversation tis around a different subject. Away from the newsroom, Sophi...

Sunetra Sarker has been a familiar face on British television for decades — from Brookside and No Angels to nearly a decade in Casualty, and more recently Ackley Bridge. But it's what she has done since leaving the security of that long-running role that makes her such a good MidPoint guest. Sunetra talks openly about hitting the MidPoint as a real turning point — the moment she stopped playing it...

Weight and weight loss is something that we have struggled to understand properly for decades. Whether its a fad diet, a new theory or an alternative approach, it's something we have been discussing and often misunderstanding, for many years. With the introduction of GLP1s, this has only increased. GLP-1 medications have changed the conversation around weight, appetite and health in a way few of u...

Although we speak a lot about women's health on The Midpoint, it's also important to look at men's health and what we should take notice of. Kenny's diagnosis changed a lot of things with regards to our awareness of health and proved that we should always get ahead of what can go wrong or actually look for the signs before something really does become an issue. Today's guest is someone who is at t...

My guest today is someone whose life reads like a series of things most of us would consider utterly impossible. Vicki Anstey is a world record holder, a human performance coach, an entrepreneur and an adventurer — and that only scratches the surface. She was one of the first women to reach the final stages of SAS Who Dares Wins, rowed the mid-Pacific unaided, and in 2024 cycled 3,000 miles across...

Gabby' s guest today is one of Britain's greatest ever Olympians. Victoria Pendleton is a nine-times world champion cyclist who won gold at two Olympic Games — and then, just to keep things interesting, retrained as a jockey, attempted Everest and walked a high wire over the Olympic Stadium. Victoria has never been someone who stands still. She has a new book out called The Fear Opportunity, and a...

But as many of you will know, Fern's li...

Sam McAllister spent years working behind the scenes as one of the BBC's most tenacious and determined producers — pitching, pushing and refusing to give up until she got the story. And it was that relentless determination that led to her securing one of the most explosive television interviews in recent memory — Prince Andrew's Newsnight interview that shocked the world. In this episode of Midpoi...

My guest this week is someone whose words have stopped people in their tracks all over the world. Donna Ashworth is a poet whose work has taken social media by storm — honest, warm and deeply human poems that somehow manage to say exactly what so many of us are feeling but can't quite find the words for ourselves. What I love about Donna's story is that it didn't happen overnight — she came to poe...

She's just been named Journalist of the Year and Interviewer of t...

WE MISSED YOU, REUBEN! This week I'm doing something a little different — I'm joined by my husband Kenny and our daughter Lois. Yes, I'm interviewing my own family. Kenny is someone who has never been short of an opinion, and has had quite a journey both on and off the pitch that he talks about with real openness. Lois is twenty, at university, and absolutely not afraid to say what she thinks — es...

Hilary Whitehall is warm, funny, razor sharp and utterly brilliant company — someone who has lived a life full of joy, laughter and love. And right now life is particularly sweet — she's embracing the wonderful chaos of being a grandmother, and with Jack's wedding to Roxy on the horizon, the Whitehall family is about to have even more to celebrate. Hilary has played hockey all her life and that co...

David Gray is one of those artists whose music has genuinely soundtracked people's lives. Babylon, Please Forgive Me, This Year's Love — songs that felt deeply personal to millions of people all over the world. But what really sits at the heart of David's story is something so pure and so human — a love of music so deep and so consuming that it has driven everything he has ever done. And then ther...

This week’s episode of the MidPoint is a little different. It’s brought to us in collaboration with our friends at One Day Tests. I was drawn to working with One Day Tests as a lot of the information I have around my health is based on instinct or long-term changes, but I wanted to see if the nuances of what my blood could tell me would make a difference to my habits. We are fed a lot of info...
