In For A Penny and Catchphrase favourite Stephen Mulhern previously shared how it felt to marry his pals Emma and Matt Willis.
Showbiz couple Emma – who hosts Cooking With The Stars – and Matt tied the knot back in 2008 and share three children – Isabelle, Ace and Trixie. The pair, who started dating in 2005, then went on to renew their vows 10 years later at a star-studded ceremony.
And it turns out they recruited none other than Stephen Mulhern to help out – and according to the TV fave, he was rather nervous.
Stephen at Emma and Matt Willis renewal ceremony
In an interview from 2019, Stephen recalled Emma and Matt’s special day. When asked by The Sun who his fave co-presenter over the years was, he replied: “Holly [Willoughby] is just perfect, she’s very kind. And Emma [Willis] is so honest. She’s the ideal friend,” he added.
Stephen then went on to discuss when he got ordained for Emma and Matt to renew their vows. And it turns out he soon ripped into Matt during his speech.
He shared: “My opening line was: ‘I was nervous when I put this speech together, but like most of Matt’s songs, someone wrote it for me’.”
Stephen ‘took mickey’ out Matt Willis
In 2018, Matt appeared on Lorraine where he opened up about the renewal ceremony. He revealed: “It was really fun.”
“Stephen Mulhern did the ceremony. It felt like a roasting. I stood there and had the mickey taken out of me for 20 minutes,” Matt said.

Behind Emma and Matt’s smiles the couple have weathered many storms due to Matt’s well-publicised battle with drink and drug addiction.
It’s something he has been very open about, with Emma joining him to make his 2023 documentary Matt Willis: Fighting Addiction. In the film, Matt spoke about relapsing five years previously.
Emma and Matt’s new TV show

The format of the show, which first launched in the U.S, sees couples meet and fall in love, without ever seeing each other.
