Earlier this year, Emma and husband Matt Willis were applauded for sharing a photo of their son Ace wearing a pink T-shirt and sporting longer hair.
Speaking with The Sun, the presenter insisted that it is important to let children "explore" with their style. "I think it's a really individual, personal thing," she explained. "You know, my son likes what he likes, and far be it for me to stop him expressing himself or experimenting however he likes with clothes.

"I see it as hair is hair, clothes are clothes and colour is colour. And, you know, if my son wants to wear a pink top, I'm certainly not going to stop him."

The couple are now doting parents to three children, Isabelle, 12, Ace, and Trixie, five.
