Emma Willis leaves husband Matt wincing with brutal swipe on Cooking with the Stars premiere

TV presenter Emma Willis left her husband Matt cringing as she dealt him a brutal blow on the series opener of the latest edition of Cooking with the Stars.

Emma, 47, has co-hosted the popular ITV show alongside comedian Tom Allen since the start but as the third series got underway, she was joined by someone very familiar.

Her husband, Busted star Matt Willis, 40, was one of the contestants on the third series.

It allowed fans a peek into what like at Emma and Matt’s home kitchen was like with the pair even dabbling in a few back and forth swipes to one another.

On the opening episode, Matt was pitted against Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon to see which of the two could come out on top.

As Tom went to chat to Matt as he prepared his Italian dish, he asked him: “When you are at home cooking with the family, whose food do the kids prefer? Yours or Emma’s?”

The singer answered back: “Well, they eat more of mine…”

Hearing the quip, Emma shouted “oi” across the studio floor as he added: “I am a bit more of a pushover than Emma, I just give them what they want.”

Teasing her even further, he said: “Emma’s the bad cop.”

Firing shots back, the former Big Brother host snapped: “I am, it’s because I have four children, not three.”

Emma laughed at her own joke as Tom moved on after the jokey exchange as Matt pretended to be ‘wounded’ by the claims.

The star was making reference to Matt being one of her ‘four’ children.

The showbiz couple share three children together – Isabelle, 13, Ace, 11, and Trixie, seven.

It marks the second TV project the pair have completed together after Matt’s powerful BBC documentary that chronicled his issues with drug addiction and the lasting effect it had on his and Emma’s marriage.

Despite insisting the children loved his cooking, the same could not be said for the show’s judges and mentors.

Matt was forced in to the dreaded cook-off after Samia’s dish came out on top.

He then had to do battle with Peter Andre with the mentors choosing for Peter to remain in the contest and therefore giving Matt the boot.

Also starring on the show are actress Joanna Page, Love Island star turned podcaster and presenter Indiyah Polack and actor Jason Watkins.
