Inside MOTD host Emma Louise Jones’ glamorous life from hanging out with Jack Grealish to being a regular at Elland Road
STUNNING presenter Emma Louise Jones has quickly become a fans’ favourite on MOTDx.
With her lust for life and fun charms, the 30-year-old has won a score of admirers alongside Jermaine Jenas on hosting duties.
She was already well-known to Leeds fans – first appearing on LUTV in 2017.
Since then, her career has skyrocketed enabling her to live a glam life – interviewing the likes of Jack Grealish, while enjoying fancy stays at five-star hotels.
Gorgeous Emma also fronts coverage of LaLiga on Premier Sports, when she isn’t taking time off to cheer on the Whites at Elland Road.
The beautiful game
Down-to-earth and relatable, Emma has interviewed a number of famous footballers and managers and turned standard interviews into fun skits.

She has a particularly good rapport with Jack Grealish, who she has chatted to on England duty numerous times.
In one hilarious clip, she asked the Man City man to show her where he is from on a map. Amusingly, his reply when he saw the map of Great Britain was to ask: “Is that England?”
Another time, Jack was interviewed alongside former team-mate John McGinn ahead of the England vs Scotland game at the Euro 2020. Again, he felt at ease in her company as she rattled off the questions.
Patrick Bamford has also been interviewed by Emma for MOTDx, Leeds United TV, and on her Leeds United podcast various times on the Whites’ plight.

While before the Women’s Euro 2022 tournament, her bubbly personality lent well in a conversation with Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman.
Her TV credits also include working with Irish pay channel Premier Sports, on which she hosts their LaLiga coverage.
Football pals include pundit Alan McInally and Leeds legend Eddie Gray.
And even the air waves are dominated by Emma – featuring on BBC Radio Five Live’s 606 football phone-in show with Robbie Savage.
Her love for all things Leeds doesn’t end with hosting their TV channel, or a podcast.
She’s a regular at Elland Road – cheering the team on even when she’s having a day off.
DRESSING UP
When she’s not working in football, Emma loves to glam it up for a night out on the town.
On social media, she recently shared a pic wearing a figure-hugging black dress at five-star Rudding Park hotel in Harrogate on a dinner date.
She captioned the snap: “What lasted longer…the shoes or dessert?”
And in another snap, wearing an amazing white gown for another engagement, she hilariously wrote: “This dress sat through a 3 course meal and came away unscathed. I don’t even know who I am anymore.”
While at exclusive London hotel The Savoy last year she was an attendee at Dennis Wise in the Community’s Annual Fundraising Ball.
Her blue dress stole the show. She shared the image on her Instagram, joking: “Sorry for more blue dress spam, but I don’t get out a lot so.”
Social media queen
But it’s on social media where she appears to be having the most fun.
Emma has amassed 366,000 followers on Instagram, and is insanely popular on TikTok with 217,000 followers and over two million likes.
That platform allows her to show off her dance moves and zany sense of humour.
Adorably, she roped in her grandad to one routine as they shuffled alongside one another.
However, being on social media has had its drawbacks for Emma.
Back in 2021, she took to Twitter revealing she fears a ‘long six weeks’ after she was sent a penis picture just three hours into the most recent coronavirus lockdown.
“Managed to get 3 hours in to lockdown before being sent an unsolicited picture of a penis on social media. This is gonna be a long 6 weeks…” she wrote.
Sadly, she’s also been the subject of vicious trolls online.
She told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “It is a real shame because social media is good for so many things and connects so many people. The overwhelming majority of people are nice, fair, kind people but a handful ruin it.
“My view is if you wouldn’t say it in the street, don’t type it out on a keyboard. People feel online, there is a level of protection when they give this abuse and that they won’t be pulled up on it.”
