From an early age Sam Hughes has been surrounded by music, with her father’s talents as a musician and her mother’s as a ballerina, you could say that music was in her blood, and you would not be wrong. Sam Hughes loves music that evokes emotion and appreciates a piece that can bring you to tears, so it will come as no surprise that Romeo & Juliet is her favourite ballet performance. That’s not all there is to Sam, you can also hear her rocking out on the Planet Rock breakfast show every Saturday and Sunday. Sam is now hanging up her red shoes to join Scala having been a proud member of the Virgin Atlantic cabin crew for a number of years, and for that, Sam – we salute you.

Favourite classical composer: This is hard to answer but probably Ravel

Desert island classical piece: Bizet’s Carmen

Absolutely essential film score: The beautiful score to Lawrence of Arabia is pretty special

Classical tune most likely to sing in the shower: I would never do this!!! Would much rather listen to a beautiful piece than ruin it with my own singing!!!!

LEEDS TV presenter Emma Louise Jones sent fans wild after the loss to Liverpool by inviting fans to “check her heart.” Emma Louise Jones’ popularity with the Whites fanbase has continued to soar since making her debut on the channel in 2017.

Emma Louise Jones is tasked with conducting post and pre-match interviews for LUTV – while also working for BBC Radio 5 Live and the Netball Nation podcast. And like many Leeds fans, she was left on the edge of her seat during the dramatic 4-3 defeat against the Premier League champions.

On their return to the big time after 16 years, Leeds pegged Liverpool back three times before Mo Salah bagged the winning goal. Just after the full-time whistle, she teased her 208,000 followers with the message: “Anyone available to check my heart?”

Leeds favourite Jermain Beckford was wise to the question and joked in response: “How many inappropriate messages are you expecting to get on the back of that tweet?!”

Emma Louise Jones never used to be a football fan but is now tasked with following Leeds’ first season back in the Premier League. 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.

“Whilst in Hull, I managed to get a job on Leeds United TV, presenting their matchday shows.
