Emma Willis reveals her and husband Matt’s romantic holiday rule – no phones!

These two are actually the cutest

Presenter Emma Willis has revealed she and her husband of ten years, Matt, have a holiday rule to ensure they spend quality time together; no phones or kid talk!

Emma, 41, and Busted singer, Matt, 34, have been married since July 2008, and have three children, Isabelle, eight, Ace, six, and Trixie, who turns two in May.

The Celebrity Big Brother and The Voice star told Fabulous magazine: “Sometimes you just think: ‘Oh my god, the only thing we talk about is the kids!’

“At the end of last year we booked a couple of days away at this little spa in the Cotswolds. It was nice to just concentrate on each other and have a conversation.

“We said we couldn’t talk about the kids or use our phones. Argh! It’s a real test. But seriously, it was brilliant, and so we’ve said every few months we’ll try and get a night or two away.”

The pair recently put their new holiday rule to the test with a skiing trip in Meribel, France for Valentine’s Day.

Matt also posted some snow-y pics, writing on one photo: “Awesome time boarding! Haven’t been able to go for 5 years due to tour insurance! Had the best time being back in a board!

“Was a bit rusty at first but it all came back! Goodbye Meribel.”

The pair have broken all celebrity rules by still being happy together, ten years on.

Emma said the secret to their relationship is simple, telling  Cosmopolitan magazine that she and Matt work because they have “similar mindsets”.

“Our priorities are each other now, rather than ourselves,” she added.

Earlier this month, the TV star said she and her husband are so close, they even end up dressing the same.

Speaking to OK! magazine, the mum said: “I live in suits and people always say: ‘Why don’t you wear a dress on telly?’ Because I don’t [bleeping] want to!

“[Matt and I] have quite similar styles. Occasionally we’ll walk downstairs and we’re like: ‘Oh, I’ll go and get changed then, shall I?’ Then you look at your kids and you’re like, [bleep], they’re wearing the same as well!”

She also said: “I ask for his opinion on everything! The thing is, people say that it’s quite a big deal in showbiz [to stay together], but the same happens in non-showbiz and people get divorced all the time.

“I don’t think it’s a big deal in showbiz, I think it’s a big deal in life. If you can make it work, then good!”
