Kelly Cates is back alongside Gabby and the pair are joined by former Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe. He moved to Anfield aged 14, had Eddie Howe pay a club record fee for him, and made over 100 Premier League appearances. But after a tough conversation with Jurgen Klopp and being robbed at gunpoint, his mental health spiralled, he now finds himself in the 7th tier, trying to rekindle his love of football. (10:32)
Later, Angel Cabrera is competing at The Masters after 30 months in jail for assault, theft and illegal intimidation against former girlfriends. Former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley, takes us behind the curtain and discusses whether a convicted criminal should have lost his green jacket? (33:30)
Plus, Gabby and Kelly react to Declan Rice's jaw dropping free kicks in the Champions League, Gabby letting slip a secret about her son's next career move and Prince William impressing as a football pundit.
