Hobbies & interests - Playing tennis and running half marathons are two of Gabby’s favourite hobbies. She also has a keen interest in travelling. Gabby's favourite football team are Newcastle United (from her days as a student at Durham University

Her other interests include Yoga and alternative health issues. Gabby is much in demand for award ceremonies, motivational speaking and personal appearances. She had the distinction of being the first ever host of the televised BAFTA Craft Awards for the Millennium. She also was the first woman to present a live terrestrial football match when covering Chelsea vs. Spurs in January 2002.…

We all know and love Gabby most famously as the daughter of ex-Wales manager Terry Yorath, and for presenting ITV Sport's "On the Ball". Another, less publicised side of Gabby is her charity involvement. She has been a keen supporter of efforts to help the homeless, and has spent previous Christmas Times on the streets of London with her husband Kenny giving up some of her own time in the homeless shelters run by Crisis and generally raising awareness.

Gabby has yet another hidden talent - she has also appeared on ITV's "Stars in their eyes" programme as Sharleen Spiteri from Scottish band Texas, singing "Say what you want" - visit the "Video & audio" page to hear this. A fine performance it was too, and I reckon she was robbed of winning - losing out to Debra Stephenson doing a very bad Kylie Minougue, but showing a lot more leg than Gabby. Now if Gabby had decided to do Britney Spears "Hit me Baby one more time" instead, I'm sure there'd have been a very different result...!
