No stone is left unturned in this interview with three-time Olympic medallist Kelly Sotherton. For many years she carried the flag for British heptathletes, winning Olympic and World bronze and Commonwealth gold. With typical honesty she talks about her relationship with Jessica Ennis and her feelings of jealousy during London 2012. She also opens up about her relationship with coach Charles van Commenee and training partner Denise Lewis and some hilarious behind the scenes anecdotes. She tells us how she regards the drugs cheats who denied her glory in the past, today. She also reveals how she tried out track cycling and kayaking when injuries wrecked her heptathlon career. She also discusses mental health and wellbeing and the issues around transgender athletes in the sport.
