Second Act with Ateh Jewel

This week presenter Nicki Chapman opens up about her wild showbiz past, the terrifying brain surgery that made her face her own mortality, and why she is fiercely grateful to turn 60.

The Magic Radio host now has a renewed positivity for life after doctors warned she could have died during the operation to remove the benign tumour.

In an intimate conversation that spans the highs of a 30-year broadcasting career to the deeply personal depths of family grief, Gabby Logan opens up about the moments that truly define her.

The trailblazing presenter reflects on her 'soulful' journey – one marked by the early loss of her brother and a career that she was once told would expire before she hit 30.
