Emma Willis Opens Up About Therapy Journey

Emma Willis revealed she has 'started therapy' after failing to deal with her mental health problems for years. 

The TV star, 50, is reportedly set to be confirmed as one of the replacements for  and  on Strictly Come Dancing after emerging as the frontrunner during a cutthroat audition process. 

Emma has now opened up about taking the 'huge' step by starting therapy and admitted she is 'surprised' how quickly she has 'felt the benefits'. 

Speaking to husband on the street in London as he asked 'What action do you take for your mental health?' for his On The Mend podcast, Emma insisted she is 'on the mend'. 

She said: 'I don't really take any but I do now because I've started having therapy. It's huge. I wouldn't have done it on my own. 

'I wasn't surprised when I started therapy because we have done it before, so I knew what to expect. It is weird when it is just you and I can't blame anything on Matt. 

'What was most surprising was how quickly it works because it is a long process and you have to work at it but I felt benefits quite quickly.'

She added: 'I mean, I'm not cured but definite little tips that helped me straight away, I'm on the mend.'
