Mo Farah joins Gabby and Mark on The Sports Agents today.

The four-time Olympic gold medallist and national treasure who lit up London 2012, talks to us about everything from running with Arsene Wenger, to what he learnt from his traumatic childhood, and his reaction to Gabby calling him Mo Salah on air.

How a prodigious talent 'flipped the switch' to win multiple golds and if he would he swap any of his medals to play in the Premier League?

Plus, as a video of Emily Maitlis doing a cartwheel on The News Agents goes viral, Gabby gives her expert opinion of her gymnastics.
