Down on Avenue Q

Spend Saturday lunchtime with Emma. Whether you’re out and about or chilling at home; Emma is standing-by to speak to you and hit shuffle on all your favourite music.

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 Match of the Day, Emma's weekly dating slot, she chats to listeners about their love lives; the good, the bad and the unforgettable! Today, Lindsay shares her story after meeting her now husband Josh online in 2015, while she was living in Scotland and he was in Illinois, before years of long distance and marrying in 2021.

Going on a date or got a dating 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, director Jason Moore and two of the stars of Avenue Q, Kate Monster and Rod, join Emma in the studio as the iconic musical returns to the West End to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
