How many children does The Circle presenter Emma Willis have and what are their names?

Emma Willis is back in action as the host of The Circle – starting with the Celebrity Circle that launches tonight.

The TV host has been hosting the show for the past two years, with the latest line-up sure to be absolute chaos as celebs try and win the popularity contest by any means necessary – even if it means playing catfish.

But when at home, she’s mum to three kids, and wife to Busted star Matt Willis.

So what else is there to know about the star?

Here’s the lowdown…

How long have Emma and Matt Willis been married?

Emma and Matt have been married for 13 years, tying the knot on July 5 2008 surrounded by family and friends.

They first met in 2004, when Emma was working as a presenter on MTV and Matt appeared on the show with Busted.

‘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…,’ Emma told Cosmopolitan of her first impression of her husband.

Matt proposed in 2007 in Venice, and they were married a year later in Ruston Hall, Northamptonshire.

What are the names of Matt and Emma Willis’s children?

Emma and Matt have three children together.

Isabelle was born June 20 2009, followed by Ace, born 26 November 2011.

Trixie is the youngest of their kids, born in May 2016.

In order to shield them from their fame, they choose not to show their children’s faces online, but often share photos of their life at home with the kids hiding their faces.

But even so, Ace has been widely praised – hailed as a ‘style icon’ and praised for breaking gender stereotypes by wearing pink and having long hair.

Emma previously admitted she was ‘overwhelmed’ with the support, and defended her child’s choice to wear what he wants.

‘Say what you want about me, I’m big enough to take it on the chin. But when you get comments like that regarding your children, it just makes the Hulk want to come out and scream at the world,’ Emma told The Sun’s Fabulous magazine. 

She continued: ‘I’m so protective of my kids and this was just a young boy expressing himself the way he wants to. I thought: ‘Did you not watch ’80s dance movies? All the boys wore crop tops and it was cool! 

‘He is very individual, he dresses the way he wants and he’s really happy doing that. Why would I try to suppress that?’ 

The Celebrity Circle airs tonight at 9.15pm on Channel 4.
