Glamorous presenter Emma Louise Jones says emotional farewell to fans during final TV appearance hosting popular show
PRESENTER Emma Louise Jones bid an emotional farewell to fans during her final TV appearance hosting Championship Rugby League.
Jones spent the last two years hosting the rugby show for Viaplay Sports UK but the show has now ended.
She posted on Instagram: “I’ve enjoyed every Monday night game for the last 2 years – even when it’s been snowing or I’ve been getting blown around everywhere.
“Thank you to the special friends I’ve made whilst presenting alongside them, and thank you to every Rugby League fan for welcoming me with open arms and allowing me to have the best job in the world.
“P.s I made the lads try snails because the Championship Grand Final was in France but we were broadcasting from Dublin, so I felt they should try some French cuisine to feel a little closer to the action.”
Jones – who also presents football for the BBC – will clearly be a miss amongst rugby league fans.
One said: “Genuinely loved the coverage and all the team. I hope the band is able to get back together sometime in the future.”
Another added: “We will miss you and the whole team Emma, you’ve all been such good fun to watch.”
One agreed: “Provided great coverage, and you all so enthusiastically brought it to us sad to see it end.”
Another commented: “Gonna miss it.. you did an amazing job as always.”
The farewell comes after Viaplay Group announced they have pulled out of all UK markets.
Viaplay Group suffered a huge loss of £24.1 million with a new CEO – and other board members – being brought in.
It lead to the decision to withdraw from various markets, including the UK.
