Emma Willis has spoken about how becoming a mother has changed her body image. The Voice UK presenter, who has three children with her husband Matt Willis, opened up about confidence and body shaming in the new issue of Cosmopolitan, admitting she no longer lets other people's opinion affect her as much.
"There was a point when I was younger when I would let it affect me. Nobody wants to hear horrible things about themselves. But, for me, the minute I had children, everything changed because I had to stop thinking about me," Emma said. "So am I going to worry about someone saying I've got fat legs or not liking my dress? Yes, it will bother me, but I'm not going to let it ruin my day. That's the way I deal with it."

It is an attitude Emma also adopted when she was told she was "too fat" to be a teenage model. "When I was 18 I went to Australia for work and I remember an agent telling me I was too fat. I wasn't fat, or heavy – or even skinny, I was just normal with a round face," she said. "People go to extremes, but I was never prepared to make myself ill to achieve that."

Her longtime makeup artist Amanda Bowen also takes to social media to share the wisdom behind the star's flawless looks, and recently revealed that the secret to Emma's immaculate skin is a moisturising concealer by specialist brand AmazingCosmetics. The Hydrate Concealer, which retails for £26.99 from the cult US makeup line, is reportedly also loved by the likes of Nicole Kidman and Blake Lively - and gives a full coverage finish without enhancing lines or dry patches. The secret is the nourishing formula which contains vitamins A and E, allowing the creamy concealer to melt into the skin, whilst plumping and hydrating at the same time.
