Emma Willis

“I always like to have a few wardrobe options to try to see what I feel best in on the day and so preparation is key - it could be trousers, a dress, or I do love a skirt and top, so I have to be prepared.”

“I eat a healthy diet and try to be gluten-free - my body functions better without it.”

“I enjoy getting older, because people take you more seriously.”

“Seeing what midwives do on a day-to-day basis - you really have this renewed respect for them.”

“I think there are moments when everyone feels a bit low or goes through tough times.”

“I like to wear jeans, Converse and a sweater, so from the back I can sometimes look like a boy!”

“Having the chance to model was completely unexpected. I wasn't very girly, but it was an adventure and it changed my life for ever.”

“I'm just not a glamourpuss dollybird.”

“I am a mum - I want to give my kids confidence, but limit it because no one wants arrogance.”

“For me, I have to have a genuine love for something, or I feel like I look like a fraud or a fake.”

“Midwives absolutely do not get paid enough. When you think about what they are doing - you can't put a price on that.”

“I see my parents getting older and I think 'How can I prevent what is going to happen to me?'”

“I tell my children they're beautiful, but that's more about their character as the way they look. We never talk about size or what's 'normal,' as everyone is unique. And I definitely don't mention things that might worry me about my own body in front of them.”

“In a parallel universe I am delivering babies or working on a children's ward. TV was my plan B really - plan A was always medicine.”

“Sometimes our date nights are just spontaneous.”

“It's lovely I have 'Big Brother' and 'The Voice,' so that's two regular jobs I love. But even before then, when I wasn't working and I couldn't find work, if something was offered to me and it didn't feel right, I wouldn't take it.”

“I am very lucky to do the things I do like - do a clothing line for Next and go live out a life I always thought I would have.”

“Growing up, I was always quite shy and I was quite scared of having an opinion on things, so I just wouldn't say anything.”

“The main thing going through my head when I step out onto any show is: 'Don't mess it up, Emma, don't mess it up.'”
