A former British wheelchair tennis player from Wroughton said she is "very excited" as she prepares to commentate at this year's Paralympic Games.

Louise Hunt-Skelley is set to bring her experience to the commentary booth at the Games taking place in Paris.

She is one of Wiltshire’s most accomplished athletes, having represented Great Britain at the London and Rio Paralympics.

During her career, she made 13 World Team Cups appearances, won 13 senior singles titles, 41 senior doubles titles, and reached a peak world ranking of 10th.

Mrs Hunt-Skelley will be a member of Channel 4's coverage of the Games.

For the first few days, she will be taking the lead commentary position, guiding guest pundit Jayant Mistry before continuing as a pundit for the remainder of the competition.

Jayant Mistry, a retired wheelchair tennis player, took part in four Paralympic Games and was the first British player to win the wheelchair men's doubles title at the Wimbledon Championships in 2005.

He is a former British number one in singles and world number two in men’s doubles.

Mrs Hunt-Skelley said: "I’m very excited to be part of the wheelchair tennis commentary team in Paris.

"I’m especially thrilled to be working with Jayant Mistry, who I have known for most of my life.

"As a junior player, he was one of my idols. He was who I aspired to be like, and it's an incredible honour to now work alongside him.”

The Paralympics will begin on August 28 with the opening ceremony, ending with the closing ceremony on September 8.

Broadcasts will feature subtitles, closed audio description on live peak-time sport, and BSL live signing during weekday afternoon sports on More4 and Channel 4 Streaming.

Mrs Hunt-Skelley continued: "I am immensely proud to be working alongside such an elite team of presenters, pundits, reporters, and commentators for this historic event, and I cannot wait to get started."

Her husband, Chris Hunt-Skelley, is a medal hopeful in judo, and is competing in a new weight category after his gold medal victory in Tokyo 2020.

Mrs Hunt-Skelley said: “I’m always more nervous for Chris than I am for myself.

"I know I’ll be a bundle of nerves on the day he competes, but I also know how incredibly hard he’s worked and how dedicated he is.

"I have no doubt that he’ll give it his all and make us proud.”
