Gabby Logan and husband sue accountant for £100k over accusation which left them ‘distressed and embarrassed’
TV’S Gabby Logan and hubby Kenny are suing an accountant for £100,000 after he accused them of tax avoidance.
The couple say they have been the victim of an abusive online hate campaign since Gwilym Jones’s “highly damaging and false” statement.
In February he claimed Gabby falsely represented her income as loans.
In their High Court claim, the Logans say the allegations seriously distressed and embarrassed them, while exposing them to public ridicule and contempt.
Gabby, 50, states “her credibility and effectiveness” in her job as a presenter is “dependent on her perceived integrity”.
Ex-Scotland rugby star Kenny, 51, says his work with children’s charities and businesses has been affected.

They want damages and an injunction banning Mr Jones from repeating the claims.
The couple, of Beaconsfield, Bucks, also say Mr Jones never believed his own statement but was intending to put pressure on them in a different court action.
In 2020 his company sued businesses that Kenny was involved in, the claim alleges.
