Fuelling Around - Stars Talking Cars!

Show Notes

At the age of just 45 and suffering from flu at the time, Jennie Gow had a stroke that was to change her life beyond all recognition, in an instance. An incredibly scary situation for Jennie, her husband and her young daughter, it was unlikely she'd ever return to broadcasting again, but with an unwavering sense of fight and determination, coupled with the support of some incredible medical staff and therapists, Jennie's back on the BBC and doing what she does best, getting the biggest stories first, from the greatest stars in Formula One! The support she received from the world of motor racing and its fans has been a huge part of Jennie's recovery over the past two years, as she describes honestly and openly to Jason and Dave.
