Gabby Logan was playfully called "weird" by her hubby Kenny after she shared an emotional moment that brought her to tears.

The Sport presenter had previously become emotional on her podcast while talking about experiencing an "empty nest" when her 19-year-old daughter Lois went off to university. With her son Reuben, also 19 and a pro rugby player for Northampton Saints, frequently away, Gabby recently found herself tearing up as she drove past a school.

During a festive edition of her Mid Point podcast, which featured her family, she recounted: "I was driving up the area we live in and there's a grammar school near us and they obviously finished with a half day and the bus unloaded and all these boys with their black puffer jackets all got off, about 14, 15, and I found myself filling up a bit."

Kenny's reaction was: "That's . You were driving along and a whole lot of boys got off a bus and you started crying," reports .

He elaborated on his view that kids should be encouraged to "able to fly" and "leave the nest with enthusiasm", rather than feeling their absence is a cause of sadness for their parents. Gabby clarified that her tears were sparked by memories of Lois and Reuben finishing school for the term.

She reflected nostalgically: "I was remembering you guys being at school, having the end of term feeling and that lovely feeling when you're a teenager and you finish school and having you to ourselves for a few weeks and not having the routine of school. When you're a parent and you have kids at school you are then in a routine that you did necessarily choose.

"You are in a routine that the state has decided they want you to be in. in particular, the kids are absolutely shattered and you have time to smother them. And I kind of took myself back to that period."

Kenny confessed he too felt a pang of longing for the days when the children were young, now relegated to sharing "funky pictures" on the family chat. Lois, on the other hand, expressed her worries for her father after growing closer during her gap year at home.

Echoing her concerns, she stated: "I was worried about you dad; a little bit. You were emotional when Reuben went off and he was coming home every weekend and we spent a lot of time together on my gap year because you were carting me all over the country with the horses and I was worried you were going to feel a little bit lost.

"And though a lot of that year we were doing stuff, it was comforting to know that you guys were still married."
