TV host and former athlete Gabby Logan is lighting up our screens tonight as host of the Sports Personality of the Year awards, adding to her already busy schedule, including Match of the Day, which she took over hosting from Gary Lineker this summer.

When she's not working hard, the 52-year-old relaxes at her sprawling mansion in Buckinghamshire – but it's not quite as busy in her and her husband Kenny's country pad as it once was, since their twins Lois and Reuben both left home.

Now with an empty nest, Gabby's mind wanders to where she might move, telling us: "Whenever I look at property porn, I always put Edinburgh in," before adding: "But it's totally impractical, I’d spend my whole life on a plane, coming south or going to Manchester."

Although she toys with the idea of selling up, she's aware the kids might not be ready for that just yet, explaining: "I feel as we're close enough to London that if Lois did get a job in London, she'd want to be living back at home. And there's a period where I think you've got to take their emotions into consideration if you can, not just wrenching things away. It's not up to them, but you can consider them for a while."

With such a gorgeous house at home, we can see why Lois might like to return…

Gabby and Kenny's country kitchen

Gabby's kitchen space has cream walls and black marble worktops, including a waterfall island in the middle of the space.

Glass lampshades and a grey metal style with a chunky chain fitting make for a rustic aesthetic, alongside a wooden surround on the cooker hood. There is also a large square-shaped wooden dining table, lined with stools with grey rattan seats.

Another shot of Gabby in the kitchen showed that the couple have a traditional black AGA oven.
