Everyone can remember watching the London olympics on Saturday 4 august 2012 as Jessica Ennis triumphantly took the fourth gold medal of the day for Team GB in the heptathlon, alongside fellow gold medal lists Greg Rutherford and mo Farah.
For Jess, only the birth of her son Reggie in July 2014 topped that amazing moment. after winning the silver in Rio last year, the 31-year-old has now retired and is expecting her second baby with husband Andy Hill…
‘It still feels quite strange being a Dame. The day itself was really nerve-racking, but it was so lovely to go down to London with my family. I got my CBE a few years ago, and I thought that was going to be the last time I’d ever go to Buckingham Palace, so to go back a few years later and get a damehood was really special. Am I going to make people call me Dame Jessica now? Not at all!’
