We have to admit that we have a bit of a girl crush on Emma Willis. She just seems so nice! The TV presenter is the cover star of Cosmopolitan’s May issue and she looks as gorgeous as ever.
She’s stepped in as presenter of The Voice for the latest series, alongside Marvin Humes and the duo have been credited for making this series more popular. Though, like many of us, she feels like she fell into her career and wasn’t necessarily that confident in her ability. “I felt I’d got into TV by a fluke because I’d been a model: I looked alright and could string a sentence together. I never believed they were 100% behind me for my ability as a presenter,” she says. “I lacked self-belief until I started doing Big Brother’s Little Brother. I knew then it was something I could do for hours. I feel comfortable now and I’m glad it’s taken time. You want to be the slow-burner, not the firework that just explodes. I want this to be my job until I retire, because I don’t know what else I’d do.”
Willis is married to Matt Willis who rose to fame in Busted but has recently done stints in Birds of a Feather and Eastenders and from the outside they seem ridiculously cute. “I met Matt when he was in Busted,” she tells Cosmo. “I’d see him wearing baggy jeans, waddling around like a duck so they didn’t fall down. He used to wear makeup and have weird hairstyles. But I remember thinking underneath all that was a really cute guy. Nine years on, that fun has turned into a marriage and two kids, which is amazing because I never expected it for a second, and I don’t think he did.”
