Emma Willis

Available for 27 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. On Mis-Match of the Day, Emma’s weekly dating slot with a twist, she chats to listeners about their worst first dates. Today, Cheryl shares the story of a cinema date that didn’t stop at one film, with non-stop talking and an unexpected sequel she definitely didn’t sign up for. Got a worst first date 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 is joined by comedian, broadcaster and author John Robins to chat about his new book, running the London Marathon and his journey since becoming sober, as he embraces his inner ‘show-off’. Ask your smart speaker to 'Play Radio 2'. Produced by Biscuit Jim Ltd for BBC Radio 2.
