Gabby Logan forced to leave Match of the Day mid-show due to ‘family emergency’
Much-loved BBC presenter Gabby Logan had to leave her presenting duties midway through tonight’s Match of the Day to attend to a ‘family emergency’.
Logan started the show as was scheduled after a busy night of midweek action in the Premier League, involving eight matches – in which a total of 26 goals were scored – up and down the country.
The 52-year-old appeared in fine form as she oversaw analysis of Tottenham’s 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth in the Match of the Day studio, alongside regular pundits Danny Murphy and Stephen Warnock.
She then introduced viewers to highlights of Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Brighton, in which Kaoru Mitoma struck in the second half to silence a sparse Etihad crowd.
But when the programme returned to the studio, Logan had been been replaced in the host’s chair by BBC colleague Mark Chapman.

‘We’ll talk about the game in just a moment,’ Chapman explained.
‘Sadly, Gabby has a family emergency that she’s had to rush off and deal with so she’s gone to do that and I’ve come from the rodeo to finish the show.
‘We will look at what happened in that Man City game right now.’
