Sports presenter Emma Louise Jones has issued a brutal response to a fan after posing in her new Leeds shirt.

The Elland Road club have released a vibrant third kit which takes inspiration from their historic Peacocks nickname. The shirt features a colourful peacock print on the front and peacock crest detail on the back of the neck.

The design is accompanied by a rose, orange and navy colour scheme, which the club says celebrates the "history of Leeds United and Yorkshire", according to the club.

Leeds fan Jones is certainly a fan of the shirt and took to Twitter to post a shot of her wearing it. Alluding to its loud colour scheme, she joked: “I like it! (Also good for covering food and drink spillages) @LUFC.”

The post was met with a creepy reply from one follower, calling themselves Joker, who said: “Can u pls turn on dm [direct messages] so that I can compliment you about how nice it looks on you.”

However, Jones shot back, saying: “No. That’s why I turned them off.”

Another follower quipped: “You would think they would know this considering they can't dm you [laughing face emoji].”

Jones is no stranger to bizarre requests while fake Instagram accounts have also popped up in her name. The latest bogus profile on the social media site has taken things to an entirely new level of strange.

The Leeds United TV host and BBC favourite reposted yet another fake profile on her Instagram stories last month. The fake carried a similar moniker to her own username and used exactly the same picture of her holding a microphone.

The real Emma Louise Jones took a screenshot of a bizarre post from the fake profile, which read: "DM me, I will reply as if I'm Emma [love heart emoji]. Role play/fantasy account only."

Jones then wrote a caption over the top of the screenshot. It said: "Please report this account if they message you. They are replying to people pretending to be me. The internet is a strange place."
