Emma Willis reveals why she decided to have third baby at 40

The Voice presenter had a "now or never" moment

She’s a proud mum to three children but Emma Willis has admitted she could have just had two babies.

However The Voice presenter, who is married to Buster star Matt Willis, has revealed hitting the milestone of her 40th birthday made her realise she wanted a bigger family.

“I was copying my mum. She had my sister at 40 and it was her third. I always thought if I had a third, maybe I’d do it when I was 40,” she told Red magazine.

“Then I got to 40 and felt like I had a little bit of time to myself again, we were sleeping, I’d got my body back to normal for the first time in years… but then I thought it’s now or never.

“I didn’t want to look back and regret it.”

Now the Big Brother host has no regrets as she’s mum to Isabelle, nine, Ace, six, and two-year-old daughter Trixie.

The family live in Hertfordshire but in a touching tribute to her husband of ten-years, Emma said she doesn’t mind where they are, as long as they are together.

“When I’m with him I feel like I’m home, wherever we are.”

Asked if her forthcoming show, Emma Willis: Delivering Babies, had made her feel broody again, she replied: “No! Are you joking? Have you ever seen a birth? That doesn’t make you want any more.”

She added: “That’s why I’m doing it: so I don’t have any more!”

Emma trained to be a maternity care assistant for the new documentary, which will be broadcast on W later this year. First look pictures of the show have been released, showing the star cradling a newborn and checking the health of one baby in an incubator.

Emma is hands-on in the series, doing jobs such as taking the blood pressure of labouring mums and working day and night shifts.

She said she enjoyed being on the delivery ward, as she always fancied a medical career.

“If I wasn’t doing my current job I know for a fact that I would have loved to work in a hospital. Blood, guts and the workings of the human body have always fascinated me,” she said.

“Both my parents worked in hospitals and so it’s literally in my blood. I can’t wait to dive right in and fully immerse myself in a busy maternity ward alongside the truly incredible midwives and nurses who work there day in day out.”
