This week's episode of Things I Told My Daughter, I sit down with Kirsty and Lesley Gallacher.

 In this latest episode of Things I Told My Daughter, I find myself strolling through Windsor Great Park, on my way to speak with a guest who grew up a stone's throw away.    Kirsty Gallacher is one of sports most loved personalities and recently left Sky Sports after 20 years on the channel.   Kirsty's mum Lesley is also no stranger to the public eye, having raised three kids with Kirsty’s dad, the golfing legend Bernard Gallacher.   I could not wait to share this lovely conversation between myself and two women who have so much love and pride for one another.
