Her father, Terry Yorath, died on 8 January 2026 after a short illness. On 7 January, Logan stepped away from presenting Match of the Day to be with her dad, and his death was announced the next day.

“We knew he had limited time, but it is still a shock,” Gabby wrote. “Yesterday afternoon I sat by his bed in St James Hospital, Leeds and we had a debate about whether roast potatoes were better with calves liver than mash potatoes. That was the meal he’d decided he wanted when he went home, tomorrow. I left and went to work, he was looking forward to watching Newcastle v his beloved Leeds. He won’t go home tomorrow. But he is reunited with Daniel and that will feel like home.”

She added: “I am sorry he had to deal with so much pain, the tragedy of the Bradford Fire was forever in his heart and losing Daniel defined the second half of his life.”
