Matt Willis made a shock confession about his marriage to Cooking With the Stars presenter Emma.
The Busted star claimed a controversial religious organisation tried to split them up.
What exactly did Matt Willis say about his marriage to Emma?
Back in 2021 bassist Matt revealed to The Sun how he’d joined the Church of Scientology while in recovery for drug and alcohol addiction. He says he became ‘fully invested’ in the so-called ‘star-studded sect’ and visited its London branch every day.
I think they’re trying to split my marriage up now.
High-profile scientologists include Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
Matt, 40, said: “I was fresh out of rehab, a bit lost in the world. I was walking down Tottenham Court Road and I got approached by a guy who asked me a few simple questions.
“Before I knew it, the next week I arrived at the doors to the Scientology building. And I went there every single day. I bought different books and did different courses. I was in. They were like, ‘there’s someone in your life who’s actually draining you, who’s a negative force, and it’s normally the person closest to you’. And it’s like, ‘I think they’re trying to split my marriage up now’.
“Then you’re fully in because you’ve got no family or friends and your family and friends are the Church of Scientology. It took me a while to go: ‘Wait a sec, what is this?’
Three months in, Matt tried to leave, but they wanted to speak about what concerns he had. Eventually he just didn’t go back.
How long have Matt and Emma Willis been married?
I’m A Celebrity winner Matt and presenter Emma, 46, married in July 2008 at Ruston Hill in Northhampton. A decade later they renewed their vows at the same venue.
