BBC sports presenter Emma Louise Jones announced she’s stepping away from the small screen due to her health.
Jones concluded her update by promising fans, “I’ll be back soon 💪🏻😄.” The TV personality also shared her statement via her Instagram Story, but did not reveal specifics of her condition. One fan replied to Jones’ tweet by opening up about their own health struggles. “I am having chemo right now so I know what it’s like not to be well or feel well,” the X user wrote. “Take as much time as you need Emma, your career will be awaiting your return xxx sending prayers and lots of love 🥰.”Jones has worked with the BBC for several years and frequently appears on shows such as Match of the Day X and Football Focus.
Outside of the TV world, Jones frequently posts on TikTok, recapping the week’s positive news stories in her “weekly roundup of good news” series. She also calls out inappropriate social media comments she receives from people online in her “DM Helpline” Instagram videos. Back in January, she announced that she would be turning her series into a handful of specials for BBC Radio 4.
