ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

My ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Somerset experience started back in February 2003 when I was invited onto The Morning Show to talk about my work as a larger-size fitness instructor in Somerset. After the interview, they asked me two questions:

Can you come back every week?

Do you mind if we call you Extra-Large Emma?

I was happy on both counts and that started a four-year weekly stint as the station's resident fitness instructor with a difference - Extra-Large Emma! I loved being called Extra-Large Emma as it was exactly what I was, and the name has stuck ever since.

I was a regular contributor at the station and developed an interest in working on the radio. Now that that has turned into a full-time job, I have a rival for my passion for exercise - my passion for radio.

So I work full-time at the station now presenting The Morning Show, and in the evenings I am still Extra-Large Emma and teach exercise classes in the community for all shapes and sizes - the best of both worlds.

The Morning Show is all about the interesting people and places of Somerset and I especially love it when we take the programme out on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Somerset Bus! So make sure if you see the bus out and about around the county that you come onboard and say hello!

Finally a few interesting(?) facts about me:
- I love chocolate
- I live in Bridgwater with my partner John
- I am passionate about Carnival
- I am what many people describe as "bubbly" which generally translates as fat and happy!
- Oh - and did I mention I LOVE chocolate???
