While Emma has a big presence in the public eye, her personal life is far more private. The doting mum rarely shares photos of her three children on social media, but over the weekend she delighted her fans after posting a candid picture of her youngest daughter Trixie, during their family weekend break in the country. The little girl was pictured helping to feed a baby lamb on a farm in an adorable snapshot. Emma is also mum to ten-year-old Isabelle and seven-year-old Ace.

And while there is no doubt that they are doting parents, Emma and Matt also make sure to spend quality time together just the two of them. Matt told HELLO! that he even managed to make Emma cry following his sweet romantic gesture on her birthday. The Busted singer said: "I flew back from tour to surprise my wife! I had one day off in Hamburg. We were in Germany somewhere and we were travelling. We were on tour… but I finished the gig and flew home because it was her birthday, so I surprised her on her birthday and took her out for dinner." Matt then joked: "I was a superstar, I tell you! She was crying, she was a mess!"
