Emma Willis

Available for 26 days

There's no better feeling than a Saturday afternoon, right? Whether you’re out and about, or preparing for a glorious night in, Emma Willis is standing by to speak to you and hit shuffle on all your favourite music. We’re talking about the surprising things you’ve tried for the first time this year, after producer Geoff went to Latvia, tried an e-scooter for the first time, and loved it. On Match of the Day, Emma's weekly dating slot, she chats to listeners about their love lives; the good, the bad and the unforgettable! Today, Jason gets in touch after his now wife once tried to get a tattoo of her then-boyfriend, he talked her out of it and now they’re together. Going on a date or got a dating story you'd like to share? Email Emma@bbc.co.uk now After 2pm, it's the Saturday Matinee and you are the stars of the show! As theatres across the UK welcome their afternoon audiences, Emma checks in with all the performers out there. Today, Emma chats to Jane, who went from being an accountant to a film extra and has had 65 jobs in the last two years! Ask your smart speaker to 'Play Radio 2'. Produced by Biscuit Jim Ltd for BBC Radio 2.
