BBC Sport presenter Emma Louise Jones has announced she is taking a break from TV due to her suffering from long-term health problems.
The football pundit, 33, who can be seen regularly on MOTDx, said she had been forced to step back from work after ‘spending more time in hospital than at home’.
Emma, who did not give details of her illness, took to X, formerly Twitter, writing: ‘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’.

MailOnline have contacted Emma’s reps for further comment.
In September Emma moved house just months after claiming she was repeatedly ‘harassed’ by a man who stopped her on dog walks and asked to take pictures of her.
She shared videos of herself on TikTok renovating her new home and filmed a tour for fans a around her Grade II listed property.
Emma showed off her four bedroom home, while another showed her pulling up the old carpet and lino of the house as her dog watched her.
The TV host said that while she knows she could have ‘got the professionals in’ she wants ‘to do as much as [she] can’ on her own.
In the second video, Emma called the sprawling home a ‘project’ adding ‘I’m enjoying the journey and I’m hoping it’ll be as beautiful as I imagine it to be’.
In July last year, the BBC star said she had began to feel ‘uncomfortable’ when the same man approached her on numerous days while she was out walking her Maltipoo puppy Teddy.
He asked to take photos with her and also made requests that were too vile to post online. As a result the presenter was left shaken.

She decided to share the story on social media to raise awareness of this type of behaviour that ‘makes women/girls feel uncomfortable’.
She told her 350,000 Twitter followers: ‘I would urge anyone who sees what looks like an uncomfortable interaction to not just ignore it and walk past.
‘You don’t always have to intervene, but even just having the presence of someone else nearby can be reassuring.’
It was not the first time that she had been harassed. In January, the pundit found out that she had been impersonated on an X-rated dating site and her pictures were being used on someone else’s profile.

She took to Instagram to shutdown any speculation that she was on the dating site Uberf***y.
Emma said on her stories: ‘I am also on Uberf***y’, adding two crying emojis to share her feelings on the matter.
Emma added: ‘What is an uberf***y? I don’t want to Google it.’
The Leeds FC Fan began her career with Leeds TV in 2017 before moving on to work at BBC Radio 5 Live, the Netball Nation Podcast and worked with the BBC at the 2018 World Cup.
Her Instagram profile, which has attracted more than 400,000 followers, shows off her glamorous life as a football presenter.
On it she shares photos of her working at live sports events and reporting from the pundit’s chair.
She is usually seen shutting down horrid trolls who target her online. In March, when asked an inappropriate X-rated question on Twitter, Emma responded: ‘Alexa, what does a virgin look like?’
