STRICTLY Come Dancing host Emma Willis may have been married to Busted favourite Matt for almost two decades, but she’s said to have had another very famous romance before their union.
The 50-year-old reportedly enjoyed a ‘rendezvous’ with Take That legend Robbie Williams while the pair were both early on in their careers.
According to the Daily Mail, Robbie and Emma crossed paths in Lisbon back in 2005.
Robbie, who is now married to Ayda Field, is said to have thought the later-to-be Big Brother presenter was ‘incredible’.
Described by the publication as a ‘romantic rendezvous’, a source said: “Robbie thought she was incredible.
“Emma seemed to love it, too.”
However, it appears the alleged crossover didn’t last too long, as Emma began dating now-husband Matt later that year.
Emma and Matt now share three children together and are one of showbiz’s most well known pairings.
Robbie married actress Ayda in 2010 and they are parents to four children.
Emma returned to the small screen last week with her new Strictly Come Dancing hosting gig, where she joined co-presenters Johannes Radebe and Josh Widdicombe.
The trio will host their first live edition of the competition show tonight.
And while Emma appeared cool as a cucumber during the pre-recorded launch, her co-host Josh hasn’t quite been as relaxed.
Admitting he was ‘terrified’, Josh said ahead of tonight’s show: “It’s going to feel utterly surreal, just as terrifying as the first one.”
