The BBC favourite was convinced Reuben would never reach 16 because her brother Daniel, a budding footballer, had collapsed and died at 15.

Gabby, 49, also revealed her anxiety led to her obsessing over young footballers’ dates of birth when she started her TV work – to find out if their age matched Daniel’s.

The presenter, mum to twins Reuben and Lois, now 17, broke down as she spilled out her anguish in a podcast.

She told how Daniel, four years younger than her, collapsed and died playing football in the garden with his dad, former 70s Leeds United star Terry Yorath in 1992.

Daniel, who was found to have heart disease, had just signed as a youth player with his father’s old club.
