Steve Gallant was serving a life sentence for murder when he made headlines for tackling a terrorist on London Bridge. In part one of their conversation with Steve, Zak and Jules hear all about the events that happened on that dramatic day on London Bridge in 2019, and how it led to Steve receiving the Queen’s gallantry medal for bravery. They also ask Steve how he dealt with receiving a life sentence, and what he learnt from doing such a long stretch in prison.
