Emma Willis and husband Matt Willis confirmed to host Love Is Blind UK
The duo have been announced as the hosts for the UK version of the Netflix dating show.
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Love is Blind would be coming to the UK, and now the show has lined up their hosts in the form of husband and wife duo Matt and Emma Willis.
On Thursday 24th August, Netflix revealed the news, sharing a video of the duo on set with the caption: "Introducing your hosts of Love Is Blind: UK… Welcome to the pods, Emma and Matt Willis!! Coming 2024."
The announcement arrives after reports that the couple - who have been married since 2008 and have three children together - were in talks to front the dating show, which sees contestants getting engaged to someone they've never seen before.
"Emma and Matt caught the attention of show bosses following their documentary about Matt’s addiction battle – this was later boosted by Cooking With The Stars," a source told The Sun.
"They were perfect for Love Is Blind UK, but still had competition from famous couples, including Marvin and Rochelle Humes."
