Emma Willis became emotional during the Peugeot Attitude Pride Awards Europe event, where she spoke openly about her children and their future. The 50-year-old presenter, known for her role in Strictly Come Dancing, shared her concerns for her three children, Isabelle, Ace, and Trixie, who she shares with Matt Willis from Busted. Willis expressed her desire for her children to have the freedom to be themselves and to love without fear, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and acceptance in society.

Identifying herself as an LGBTQ+ ally, Emma encouraged attendees to reach out to her whenever needed, humorously suggesting they could signal her with a glitter ball. She also lightened the mood by mentioning Madonna’s latest album release, Confessions II, and the anticipation surrounding it.

In a separate event, Emma and her husband discussed their parenting approach in light of a social experiment they participated in regarding children and smartphone use. The couple highlighted the need for safeguards to protect children online, as seen in a documentary titled Swiped where they and a group of Year 8 pupils gave up smartphones for 21 days. The experiment revealed positive changes in behavior, sleep patterns, and alertness among the participants.
