Kirsty Gallacher gets lawyers in over Tiger rumour
TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher has denied speculation that she had an affair with Tiger Woods, after rumours surfaced on the internet that she had a fling with the serial cheat. Kirsty admits she's friends with the golf champion and once described him in an interview as "incredibly handsome, kind and talented", according to The Mirror. But, hitting back at the internet claims, the former Sky Sports presenter, said: "It was all speculation and it was incorrect. "It was very upsetting. I knew I was being talked about and that's why lawyers were involved. "But what you do in this job is you get quite strong because you know things will come at you." Kirsty, the daughter of the Scottish former golf champion Bernie Gallacher, has two children with her fiance, rugby star Paul Sampson.
