Paton will share presenting roles with another host PAT ON THE BACK Darts presenter Emma Paton lands new job as Sky Sports announce plans for exciting show DARTS presenter Emma Paton has landed a new job at Sky Sports. The host is part of a new show being introduced by the broadcaster. 3 Emma Paton has landed a new role with Sky Sports Credit: PA 3 She will feature on a new Sky Sports News show Credit: PA 3 Paton is the face of darts on Sky Sports Credit: INSTAGRAM Sky Sports News have launched a new weekday magazine programme next week, The Premier League Show, which will air on Monday to Thursday from 5pm to 7pm. Presenting duties will be shared and rotated between Paton and Julian Warren. And each episode will also feature a reporter and pundit to discuss the day's biggest Premier League stories. Paton, 30, is the face of darts on Sky Sports and has been labelled the queen of Alexandra Palace. She has also covered tennis' US Open and WWE — and is the host for Sky Sports News' transfer deadline day coverage. Paton is a regular on Sky Sports and originally joined the TV station back in 2012 as a journalist — before making the jump to presenting in 2019. SunSport has learned Roman Kemp has been signed up by Sky Sports to present a new Premier League preview show. The One Show host will front a new show, Premier League Friday, to be broadcast on 5pm on Sky Sports News. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS The first programme will air next Friday before the opening Premier League game of the season, Liverpool's visit to Bournemouth, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Kemp is a big Arsenal fan and has played in the celebrity charity match Soccer Aid, but has not worked in football broadcasting before. Luke Littler takes part in annual fishing competition The former Capital One DJ, son of Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp, will be joined on the Sky Sports News show by rotating panel of pundits and reporters to discuss the top talking points in football and preview the weekend's games. Sky's move to hire Kemp is their latest attempt to attract younger viewers to their programmes. The broadcaster have had a turbulent summer, with seven senior staff made redundant in June including presenters Melissa Reddy and Rob Wooton. 'And to be honest with you and at that time when I finished, there weren't that many courses around that I would go onto after. 'There weren't many postgraduate courses, there weren't many that did NCTJ [National Council for the Training of Journalists] qualifications, I was lucky to find the one that I did.'

Strictly star finds love with boxer after being linked to dance pro
A STRICTLY Come Dancing star has found love with a boxer after being linked with a BBC show pro. The Paralympian, 32, has showcased her new romance in a cute video posted to her Instagram grid. 6 A Strictly Come Dancing star has found love with a boxer after being linked with a BBC One show pro Credit: Instagram/laurensteadmann 6 Paralympian Lauren Steadman was paired with AJ Pritchard in 2018 Credit: . 6 Yet she's now found love with boxer Bradley Credit: Instagram/laurensteadmann It showed her stripped to a blue bikini holding her man's hand as they strolled into the crystal-clear sea in Sardinia. Back in 2019, Lauren Steadman, 32, was linked to her Strictly partner AJ Pritchard after their "romantic" routines on-stage. Yet now Lauren, who reached the semi-final of the 2018 series with AJ, has found love with a boxer known as Bradley. He appears to keep a low profile not being tagged on her account, yet he appears in both their sweet holiday clip and a post showing them boxing together. Lauren wrote in her holiday caption: "Pausing to make time. "It actually looks like Bradley is just entertaining my morning waffle. "Between my training and his boxing coaching time has been limited but 20mins every morning at the beach has been well worth it." Her followers were quick to react to the post, which showed the pair loved up and holding hands. One wrote: " Awwwwwww my sweeetiee piessss." Lauren Steadman and DJ Locksmith are crowned as co-winner of Channel 4's Celebrity SAS- Who Dares Wins A second put: "This makes me happy. Just saying." A third then gushed: "Great news!!!!!" MOVING ON Since Strictly, Lauren went on to be crowned a co-winner of gritty reality series Celeb SAS. Yet prior to this, she and AJ had been wowing audiences around the country for the last few weeks with their routines as part of the Strictly live tour. After Lauren and AJ performed their touching Viennese Waltz to You Are The Reason by Calum Scott, judge at the time Darcey Bussell praised Lauren on how much her dancing had improved. She then added they had brought "plenty of romance" to their performance, which appeared to make the pair blush and squirm a little. Host Ore Oduba then added fuel to the fire, saying Darcey was "reading between the dance lines", causing the audience to 'ooh', 'ahh' and whistle their approval. It wasn't the first time AJ and Lauren had been romantically linked, as during their series, AJ hinted there could be more than friendship between them. He told The Mirror at the time: "I am very protective of her because we have worked so closely together. 'There are different things that she will talk about in training that she would never talk about on camera." Yet the world champion Paralympic athlete had her eyes on the prize as she celebrated "normalising disabilities" on the prime time BBC show. She and dance partner AJ often had to find new ways to do routines because Lauren was born missing her lower right arm. Alongside this, Lauren had to compete against celebrities like Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer who were already professionally-trained dancers. 6 The pair captured their romantic getaway to Sardinia on Instagram Credit: Instagram/laurensteadmann 6 Lauren and AJ were praised for their 'romantic' routines
