Vini Jr's Ballon d'Or soap opera & a Himalayan nightmare

  • Summary

  • As Rodri and Aitana Bonmati won the Ballon D'Or and the Real Madrid boycott turned it into a soap opera, Gabby & Mark get all the gossip and fall-out from Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague.

    And why is there no female category for three of the awards? We ask ex-England player Natasha Dowie if the ceremony needs a shake-up.

    Plus, imagine being stuck on an icy ledge 6,000 high in the Himalayas for three days with no food and water - that's what happened to British mountaineer Fay Manners who joined us to tell her story.
