A Manx calligrapher has had her handiwork highlighted in a high-profile video posted by Manchester City.

The Premier League side recently signed a contract with Norwegian Striker Erling Halaand, keeping him at the club until 2034.

In the video announcement the 24-year-old can be seen writing a letter confirming that, as he says, he's "here to stay".

But the words written on the page, in reality, were penned by the Isle of Man's own Emma Wilson, who now lives in Manchester.

In this edition of Newscast, Emma tells Lewis Foster how she got into calligraphy, how the job came her way ... and how it wasn't entirely smooth sailing!
