Emma Willis opens up on husband Matt Willis’ stint in rehab

The Big Brother host stood by the Busted star during his addiction treatment

Emma Willis has opened up on her husband Matt Willis’ well-publicised stint in rehab and how it changed them.

The Big Brother host is married the Busted star in 2008 and stood by him while he was receiving treatment for addiction.

“[The worst bit was] the unknown. Not knowing whether he could do it. And not knowing if he’d come home,” she remembered.

The presenter revealed that the musician’s experience in rehab has taught him who’s boss.

“That was the worst thing.
 I always thought that there would 
be a pretty horrific phone call, but thankfully there wasn’t – it’s taught him who’s boss,” she told Cosmopolitan.

“It’s just another layer of something you go through. Lots of people don’t have that layer, but we do.

“The only thing I can compare it to is Matt saying that the minute he saw me give birth, it changed everything.

“It’s just a whole different level of respect.”

The mother-of-two gushed about Matt’s recovery and how he healed himself.

“It’s knowing how much strength they have to be able to do that. When
 you see somebody so sick and then curing themselves, it’s mind-blowing.

“If you can crack that, you can crack anything. Hopefully, we won’t
 have to face anything worse,” she added.
