The BBC presenter took to Twitter to recount her story.

She hosts MOTDx

And also works on Viaplay

On what should have been routine dog walks, she revealed how a man repeatedly stopped her to ask to take pictures of her - as well as making requests the presenter chose not to go into.

Emma said the repeated harassment left her feeling "uncomfortable" and urged people witnessing similar events to help those in "uncomfortable interactions."

On Twitter the football presenter wrote: "I've taken my puppy on the same walk near my house the last few days & the same man has repeatedly stopped me to tell me he wants to take photos of me (along with other stuff that I won't mention here).

"This makes women/girls feel uncomfortable & 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."

Emma, 33, joined the BBC in 2021.

She works as the presenter on MOTDx and on ViaPlay

The popular presenter, who has amassed a following of nearly 337,000 on Twitter, made her name on Leeds TV.

However, she has unfortunately had to deal with a number of hideous online trolls.

In one instance she brilliantly shut down one vile comment by posting a screenshot of the tweet alongside the caption: "Alexa, what does a virgin look like?"
