The first female gymnast to win medals for Team GB at the Olympics, World and European Championships, and now a BBC pundit for the Commonwealth Games, said: "They love it or they hate it, but unless they're given the opportunity to try it, they'll never find out.

"I want every child to experience gymnastics." Since retiring in 2013, she has launched Beth Tweddle Gymnastics, which has given thousands of youngsters the chance to try the sport.
