  • Emma Jones, is a Welsh newspaper and television journalist. Educated at Mold Alun School. She joined the Evening Leader newspaper in her home town of Mold, Flintshire. Asked to cover the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, she met violinist Nigel Kennedy. She worked for Kennedy before starting a Fleet Street career. Jones worked on a variety of stories, from hard news to showbiz at the Sunday Mirror, then The Mail On Sunday and The Sun. She worked as editor of Smash Hits magazine in 2001, but returned to The Sun in 2002 to become its youngest columnist. Jones was twice nominated for the UK Press Gazette Young Journalist of the Year Award, and the then editor of The Sun David Yelland described her as "the brightest young female voice in Britain". After returning to The Sun, she also became a regular contributor to Radio and TV, co-presenting the National TV Awards for ITV2 with Tess Daly. She was the youngest woman ever to appear on BBC One’s Question Time, but was widely acknowledged to be out of her depth discussing current affairs. She was axed from The Sun when Rebekah Wade replaced Yelland as its editor in 2003.
