About Jacqui...

Jacqui returns to Late Kick Off, London and the south east, for a second season, having hosted last season鈥檚 show alongside pundit Mark Bright.

As well as having done many commentaries for Match of the Day, the Football League Show and 大象传媒 5 Live, for whom she covered the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, she has also presented several sport shows, mostly on her beloved football.

Jacqui鈥檚 anchor roles include the Football League Show, World Football Focus, Uefa Women鈥檚 Euro 2013, ITV FA Cup highlights and she presents weekly on the Premier League鈥檚 global TV network as well as spending Saturdays reporting/commentating live from matches.

A keen footballer herself, it took a serious knee injury in 2000 to see Jacqui change career from intellectual property rights management to sports broadcasting, securing a Postgraduate Diploma in Broadcast Journalism, having earlier attained a BA (Hons) degree in German.

Jacqui started reporting and commentating on non-league football for 大象传媒 local radio before her progression to 大象传媒 Radio 5 Live and television.

Jacqui and her family live in Surrey, have a daughter Phoebe and are expecting a second child in May.

She says: "It was an absolute privilege to present the London and South East version of Late Kick Off last season, and even more exciting to be invited back this year.

"We have such a vibrant football patch with so many stories to cover, there's never a dull moment or shortage of interesting guests.

"I can't wait to get started again with Mark Bright alongside me, and I'm relieved that we won't have to live through the dramas surrounding his beloved Crystal Palace and can focus calmly on our other clubs!"
