Life Before Loose: Dame Kelly Holmes on her early years, her Olympic success and finally finding herself

Kelly shares what it was like growing up in the care system and the subsequent abandonment issues she suffered ever since. She also recalls the first time she realised she felt and looked different from her adoptive family, how her PE teacher changed the course of her life, and how she found a sense of purpose in the British army. Prepare for some heartfelt surprises and teary reunions too!

20 years ago Kelly made history following her Olympic gold medal wins for 1500 metres and 800 metres at the 2004 Athens Olympics, making her the first British woman to win two gold medals at the same games. Plus, Kelly shares unspoken truths from her most vulnerable years.
