BBC Sport host Emma Louise Jones ‘not in an important place’ has to ‘take time away’
BBC Sports presenter Emma Louise Jones has declared that she is stepping away from hosting duties for a while for health reasons.
Jones is one of the BBC’s top sports presenters – sorry, Gary – and has garnered more than 345k social media followers due to her banter and self-awareness of certain . . . assets. But now the 34-year-old is taking a step to “focus” on her health.
Posting on social media site Twitter/X, she said: “My health hasn’t been in a great place for quite some time now and I’ve spent more time in hospital than my own home. I’m taking time away from work/life to focus on getting back to full strength. I’ll be back soon.”

She ended her post with the flexing and smiling face emojis. The post was liked more than 7k times, and viewed nearly one million – but no details on exactly what her health issues are were given.
Leeds-born Emma’s success in her broadcasting career, which has seen her host MOTDx, having previously worked on radio, has earned her a large social media following.
Her announcement was met with well wishes from fans and other sports presenting acolytes, such as Jeff Stelling who wrote: “Sorry to hear that. Hope things improve soon.” And Anna Geary commented: “Sending hugs. Hope you feel well again very soon lovely lady.”
Fan Jamie Griffiths added: “Get well soon EJ, health is the most important thing. Wishing you a speedy recovery so we can enjoy your punditry again.”

It makes another interesting turn for Emma, who had previously wished for a “less horny” 2024 from her army of followers. Jones often mocks her randy followers, who are brazen enough to message her with thoughts surely better left inside their heads.
Despite the lewd advances she receives, she’s not been shy to joke about her ample assets, previously revealing her boobs are that big she sometimes honks her car horn with them.
Speaking on her mishap on the Crunch and Roll podcast, the Leeds United fan admitted: “So, when I drove my little BMW 1 series, I am one of those people who like, kisses the steering wheel when they drive.
“But that meant when I got out, you know, everything was towards the steering wheel, so I would accidentally knock the horn with my, erm, breasts. And it used to scare the s**t out of me!”
