Known for breaking ground as one of the few women in sports broadcasting at Sky Sports News, Kirsty opens up about resilience, allegations of nepotism, equal pay battles, and the pressure of proving herself in a male-dominated world.
She shares why she chose to leave Sky Sports, how Covid cemented her love of radio as a companion medium, and what it means to reinvent herself as host of Drive on Gold Radio.Kirsty also speaks candidly about sleepless nights with anxiety, battling an eating disorder, and navigating the pain of a public divorce – all while raising her sons and working tirelessly to provide for them.
