“She changed our lives as every first child does, but she also made our lives… this is her now, channelling her inner ‘dark side…’ fingers crossed, it leaves her by her teens. Love you Wiz… ❤️

Can we get an ‘Awwww’? And how cute is her nickname ‘Wiz’?

Emma has been quite open about her family and relationship recently.

She and Busted star Matt Willis are celebrating their ten year wedding anniversary soon, and the 41-year-old revealed what she most loves about him.

When asked in an interview with MailOnline how the showbiz couple have lasted so long, she said: “We are just two people who still love each other very much. That’s it really.

“He’s still my absolute favourite person to be around and hang out with.”

Emma and Matt, 34, tied the knot in July 2008, and have two other children together; Son Ace, five, and toddler Trixie, 13 months.

It was recently revealed that Emma had a life-threatening illness when she had bad stomach aches, only to find out it was appendicitis.

She told This Morning hosts Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: “I was about to get on a plane and take my husband away for his birthday and I had a tummy ache.

“I thought ‘I don’t know what’s going on. I’d better get myself checked out’. So I went into A&E and they said: ‘You need surgery’.”

How does she juggle parenting, being a wife, working constantly, AND recovering from her illness?

Well, she works out.

Emma revealed that to keep her energy up, she exercises three times a week with a personal trainer.

“I’m really enjoying boxing at the moment, but really it’s not about losing weight – it’s about strengthening and getting fit so I can run around after three kids. I want to make the best of myself as I am now,” she said.
