BBC Sport presenter Emma Jones has found out she is being impersonated on an adult dating site with her glamorous pictures being used for an alternate identity.
The 32-year-old expert, who also works with ViaPlay Sports, has obtained screenshots of the fake catfish profiles used on the Uberf***y website.
She immediately shared the results with her 377,000 followers on Instagram to quell any speculation that she is on the dating site of her own accord.

Speaking to her this week, Emma captioned her stories, “I’m on Uberf***y too,” adding two crying emojis to share her feelings on the matter.
Emma added: “What’s a uberf***y? I don’t want to google it.’
The dating site is reportedly described as a platform where “users meet local singles”.
After seeing her reposts of the profiles, more fans came forward with their spots of Emma online – including another on Tinder.

The fake page on Tinder showed Emma with her real name but at 44 – 12 years older than she really is.
Emma featured one of Emma’s glamorous pictures as the front of the profile and also posted it on her Instagram Stories.
She wrote “name” with a big green checkmark over the screenshot, with the word “age” underneath it – and added a giant red cross and a laughing emoji.
Despite the frustration of having her profile spoofed online, Emma appeared to be taking the moment calmly and finding humor in the matter.

Captioning a picture of her in a spectacular dress, Emma wrote: “Thank you to the overwhelming majority of you who named the few misogynists and dinosaurs in your responses to this.
“Unfortunately, it’s usually the people who scream the loudest.
“I was hosting an awards ceremony and I felt wonderful in my new dress so I wanted to share it.”
Sports spokeswoman Laura Woods supported her in the comments: “What some people don’t understand is… you can be both!
“You’re smart and you’re beautiful. The one should not and does not cancel out the other.’
