She has worked as a host of BBC Radio Five Live presenting the drivetime show, plus a range of other programs.

But Louise not only reports on sport, she also competes in it. She completed her first triathlon in 2013 and then went on to qualify for the GB team, for her age group, and raced in the Chicago World Championships in 2015. Since then, she's raced in five World and European Championships and gone on to compete in extreme triathlons, including one of the toughest in the world, the Norseman in 2019. Louise has recently been absent from our TV screens recovering from a horrific foot injury, but thankfully she’s almost back to full fitness.

    Colin Jackson

    Graham Bell chats to Colin Jackson. Colin Jackson is one of the greatest athletes ever to come from the UK.  His 110 metre hurdles World Record of 12.91 seconds stood for 13 years, and his World Indoor Record for the 60 metres hurdles still stands today! His impressive medal haul is matched by his equally remarkable broadcasting career: he has covered every major athletics event for the BBC since 2004. He’s since become an important figurehead for diversity, inclusion and mental health. He recently discussed his battle with bulimia on BBC1’s Panorama programme, and he talks openly and honestly about the challenges he’s faced throughout his career: anxiety, race and sexuality. In this episode Colin talks about how he overcame great challenges to become the fastest hurdler in the world, how he maintains a high level of fitness, and shares his joy of a quiet night in, in front of the TV, with a cup of Horlicks.
