JENNI MURRAY: I never thought I'd say it, but there are too many women presenting sport on TV

I’m now going to write something I never imagined I’d ever think, let alone express in public: too many women are being hired to present iconic sports programmes on the BBC. Gabby Logan, Alex Scott and Clare Balding presented this week's Sports Personality of the Year, which was won by athlete Keely Hodgkinson, the fourth woman in a row to lift the award Kelly Cates - the daughter of Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish - and Gabby Logan will be joined by Mark Chapman as the new hosts of Match Of The Day in place of Gary Lineker I was so determined to get in, I managed to apply to BBC Radio Bristol and get a job. Instead, on Tuesday night, I found myself thinking: ‘That’s not right.’ Three women - Gabby Logan, Clare Balding and Alex Scott – presented Sports Personality Of The Year. Yes, Kelly Cates, the daughter of legendary Liverpool striker Sir Kenny Dalglish, and Gabby Logan, whose father is former Leeds United player Terry Yorath, know as much about football as any man, but I suspect the sole male co-presenter Mark Chapman may be made to feel the odd man out, working alongside two such powerful women. I fear for the response among male football fans to the ‘two women, one man’ line-up for Match Of The Day.
