Under fire: Logan joked about Murray, Radcliffe and Lineker while talking to students
Gabby Logan may come under fire after calling tennis star Andy Murray "the moodiest most miserable b****** I've ever met."
The BBC Sport presenter
was speaking to students at Leeds Trinity University when she took a
swipe at the 2013 Wimbledon winner, as well as her current BBC
colleague Gary Lineker.
Talking about the Men's Olympic tennis champion, Logan said: "I was a big fan.
"Then at the Olympics, he had just won a silver [medal] with Laura Robson. And he was the moodiest most miserable b****** I've ever met in my life because he only won a silver.
"If I wasn't on live telly I'd have gone 'cheer up'."

According to the Sun, the 40-year-old TV star is also reported to
have remarked about Lineker - a BBC colleague - that people now think
of the ex-England striker more as a crisp salesman than a former footballer, adding "sorry, they see him as a broadcaster."
Additionally,
she also joked about friend Paula Radcliffe, who famously urinated in
the street during the 205 London Marathon: "One guy tweeted and said my
wife thinks Paula's dress is nicer than yours. So I showed Paula and
she p***ed herself. Again."
A spokesman for Mrs Logan told The
Sun: 'These people are friends and acquaintances of Gabby's who she
has the utmost admiration for and the quotes clearly formed part of a
humorous speech.'
