Q&A with Amy Lewis ahead of the launch of Sky Sports News HQ

Last Updated: 03/08/14 10:03am

Ahead of the launch of Sky Sports News HQ on August 12 we ask some of our presenters and reporters to share their memories. Today it's Amy Lewis.

What are your first memories of SSN (as a viewer)?

My first memories of Sky Sports News are watching Jeff Stelling on a Saturday afternoon at my brother Ollie's cafe. Ollie would get hardly any work done and spend most of the afternoon shouting at the television.

What was the first story you covered on SSN?

In 2011, in my first week working at Sky Sports News I got an exclusive interview with West Ham co-owner David Gold the day after West Ham were relegated. Other media outlets used quotes from the interview which is one of the reasons I'm probably still working at SSN!

What's the biggest story you've broken on the yellow ticker?

Yaya Toure agreed to give me a phone interview a few weeks ago. He committed his future to Manchester City. Also, Southampton Chairman Nicola Cortese resigning.

What are you most looking forward to within the new HQ studio?

It's exciting that we'll be on channel 401 and I love the fact there's an area dedicated to investigating and breaking news stories. The new set looks amazing.

Do you have a Twitter account and how many followers do you have?

My Twitter account is SkySportsAmy and I have 24,000 followers. I'm relatively new to Twitter but now can't live without it!

I love Sky Sports News because...

Everyone is passionate about sport and breaking news.
