Photos on Emma’s social media through the years have shown her alongside Leeds legend Eddie Gray and a crop of stars including Stuart Dallas and ex-defender Pontus Jansson.

Her success in the role is all the more remarkable considering she never used to watch the beautiful game before getting the job.

Speaking to Ourtown magazine, Emma said: “I never used to be a football fan – but since doing Leeds I’ve become one!

“The atmosphere, passion and buzz rubbed off on me very quickly and now I’m the noisiest spectator watching from the gallery.”

Emma has a background in news but admits she found it hard asking people difficult questions.

She says she once ended up crying with an interviewee – but there have been no such problems with Leeds… especially as they won last season’s Championship crown.
