Emma Willis has shared an update after undergoing heart surgery in a new interview with husband Matt.
Back in April Emma told fans she discovered she has had a hole in her heart since she was born and so had surgery at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
Keyhole heart surgery involves making small incisions in the chest as opposed to the breastbone as in traditional open heart surgery. This meant she avoided an open-heart recovery and instead had a ‘smooth’ recovery, but has had to learn to adjust.
In a new interview with the Mirror, Matt explained that he tried to take the lead in their household while Emma recovered, but he said: ‘She’s not very good at sitting still.’
Emma added: ‘I’m all good now. I had a bit of time off.’
The couple, who met in 2004 and share three children, went on to share their secrets to a happy marriage as they prepare to host Love Is Blind UK for the second year.

‘Love, time, commitment, compromise, f**k knows,’ Emma says. ‘I mean, hopefully we’ll still be going in another 20 years or 30 years or 40 years and then we’ll be in a box together!’
She went on to say: ‘We like to keep our eye across everything. So we don’t drop the ball, we make sure we have time for each other and prioritise that.’
Matt added: ‘Having children for us was such a massive thing. It changed everything. It takes it to a whole new level. It’s bonkers but I love it.’
Emma and Matt Willis have reportedly quit Love Is Blind UK’s spin-off show and a replacement host has been drafted in.
The hit dating show, hosted by married couple Matt and Emma, sees singles hoping to bag themselves a partner in a non-conventional way.
However, according to The Sun, the pair have taken a step back for the upcoming podcast set to air alongside the show next month.
TikToker Sarel, who posts regularly on the social media platform, will be stepping in instead.
An insider told the publication: ‘Matt and Emma loved doing it but they’re so, so busy – they couldn’t make their schedules work. Sarel is huge on TikTok and will be really popular with listeners.’

Daily Mail has approached Netflix and representatives for Matt and Emma for comment.
It comes after a return date for Love Is Blind UK was revealed by Netflix last week with a first look at series two.
During the social experiment style programme, singletons interact with one another only through their voices in special Pods, before choosing someone to move in with and eventually marry.
The couples will then find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the Pods.
Netflix has now confirmed that season two of Love Is Blind UK will launch on August 13, with ten episodes released over three weeks.
The streaming platform has shared a teaser trailer for the new instalment, giving fans a sneak peak of what’s in store.
It looks as though there’s plenty of drama coming up, with one man saying, ‘I don’t find it difficult to date multiple women. That’s just a part of the game’.
A woman can also be heard commenting, ‘That’s really disrespectful, I’m not your plan B’.
Photographs from the new season has also been released and one features what appears to be an engagement ring.
Another shows a man with his hand against a wall, looking down, in one of the Pods.
