Gabby Logan has revealed she is enjoying an afternoon delight with her husband Kenny after getting their sex life back on track.
The TV presenter, 52, candidly opened up about her bedroom antics with Kenny, 53, after they struggled with incompatible sex drives in recent years.
Her latest admission comes after her rugby star son Reuben, 20, begged her to stop discussing her ‘daily romps’ with his father because they are being played in his gym.
But this didn’t stop Gabby, as she revealed that Kenny struggled with erectile dysfunction after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, while her libido dipped during the menopause.
The former international gymnast began the perimenopause in her mid 40s and she found that she no longer wanted to get intimate with her husband as much.
Gabby shared her fears that having sex would ‘become a duty’ rather than doing it because she enjoyed it, which was the case for so many years prior.

As well as waxing lyrical about the benefits of an orgsasm, Gabby told the Sun: ‘I’d had a very healthy relationship with Kenny. I loved him and fancied him as much as ever, and wasn’t able to understand why I no longer wanted to have sex as much as I had before.’
Gabby was advised by her pal Mariella Frostrup to begin a course of HRT and doctors told her that her hormone levels were ‘on the floor’.
She revealed that taking the hormone replacement all about increasing her libido, but admitted that it was a big factor behind the decision.
Gabby said she felt a ‘massive change’ within weeks, saying: ‘Once I was on HRT and my libido returned, our sex life was back on track – even to the extent of having daytime sex. There are plus points to becoming empty nesters!’
The couple’s happy, healthy sex life took another hit a few years later, however, when in 2022, Kenny was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had his prostate gland removed.
‘When that happens, erectile function can be massively affected and might not come back. Kenny was very lucky and eventually it did, but it took a while.
Kenny was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2022 and received treatment before he underwent a successful operation.
Last month, Reuben opened up on how his parents’ sex life revelations have impacted his job as a professional rugby player.

Reuben Logan, son of Match of the Day presenter Gabby, has opened up on how his parents’ sex life revelations have impacted his job as a professional rugby player
Reuben, who plays for Sale Sharks after joining from Northampton Saints ahead of this season, revealed how his parents’ public conversations resulted in him receiving stick in the changing room.
During his recovery, Kenny joined Gabby’s podcast The Mid Point for an episode where they discussed their sex life, with 76 per cent of men experiencing erectile dysfunction in the aftermath of treatment for prostate cancer, according to research.
There was therefore a wider positive to their discussions – which have also been had by both Kenny and Gabby elsewhere – but Reuben sadly borne the brunt of it.
‘I will openly say now that I said: “Can. You. Please. Stop”,’ Reuben told The Telegraph. ‘I remember being in the gym at Saints and the podcast was being played for half the gym session. It was only my second or third month there!
‘I did not know that that podcast had happened until I had heard it and I remember saying to her: “What have you been talking about online?”
‘”It’s good!” she said. I said: “I’m sure it is but you do have a late-teenage son in a rugby environment, so you have to think about that!” Maybe Lois [Reuben’s twin sister] was not affected at university with her friends but I might have been.’
Reuben’s comments were in good spirits and also came after Gabby accidentally revealed news of his move to Sale during a separate interview.
Gabby had spoken last year about how Reuben had found the podcast slightly difficult to deal with after she said that Kenny was ‘still fully functioning’ following his operation.
The discussions came when Kenny was recovering from prostate cancer and the associated impacts that it can have (pictured L-R the Logan family – Reuben, sister Lois, Gabby and Kenny)
Reuben revealed he received some stick from team-mates as a result of his parents’ chats
‘He’s like, “Mum, can you stop talking about your sex life, because now I go into work, they play clips in the dressing room. It would be helpful if you could just shut up for a while”,’ Gabby had said.
‘And I’m like, “Actually Reuben, next week’s episode — just on that”.
‘We don’t just talk about my sex life, can I just say,’ Gabby clarified.
Meanwhile, Kenny did reveal that his sex life had gone downhill while he recovered from cancer.
‘Six months on, I would say I’m physically 100 per cent, mentally 100 per cent, feel good,’ he said on the podcast in 2023.
‘From a sexual point of view, it’s not consistent. As the surgeon said to me, this could take 18 months.
‘Within a month, I was getting movement, where he says, “That’s amazing”. So it’s just not as consistent.’
Kenny also explained that lots of men need to use a penis pump to get their erectile function back to normal.
Gabby joked on her podcast back in 2022: ‘You’ve been getting to grips with your penis pump on your own!’
