Gabby, 49, from Leeds, has remained relatively quiet on social media since the World Cup started on 20 November.
However, yesterday the former rhythmic gymnast took to her Instagram account to post a number of behind-the-scenes snaps, as she “Thought a World Cup dump was due.”
She is one of the many sports presenters who are taking on the BBC coverage of the Men’s 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The first photo shows Gabby posing alongside Welsh former footballer Danny Gabbidon on a balcony, as they prepare for filming. She wrote: “Two Gabs on two boxes.”
Gabby is seen wearing a floral print shirt and lilac trousers, which is perfectly suited to the skyscrapers lit up in purple in the background. In the caption, she wrote: “Top TV tip for the kids out there, always match your trousers to the building behind you.”
Gabby also mentioned her make-up artist, Melissa Bourne, who is shown in multiple snaps and joked that she must have gone through a lot of make-up in the past nine days.

Hide AdPrior to Qatar 2022, when asked who would win the tournament, Gabby confidently declared, “I think Brazil could win the World Cup.”
When a team like Brazil consists of the likes of Neymar, who is considered one of the best football players in the world, it’s safe to say they will be ones to beat.
Gabby added: “I think a South American team will win the World Cup, but I think the team will be wearing yellow.”
To date, South American countries have managed to win eight World Cup tournaments, Argentina won the cup twice and Brazil won it five times.
