While most Lego Masters contestants see the little plastic bricks as a form of creative expression, Gabby sees them as the tool that got her family through the toughest of times.

BRAVE LITTLE BOY

During her first stint on the show in 2021, Gabby's son Alex was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

"Alex's diagnosis came in Covid so life was already upside down, and then our family found ourselves in a whole new world of long, boring days in hospitals and nasty chemo treatments," says Gabby, 43, who is returning for a second time for Lego Masters: Grand Masters Of The Galaxy.
