6 Shows You'd Probably Forgotten Love Is Blind UK Host Emma Willis Once Fronted

Matt and Emma Willis on the set of Love Is Blind UKEmma Willis has now been a staple on British TV for more than 20 years.The Birmingham-born presenter was previously best known for hosting shows like Big Brother, The Voice and The Circle – until she and her husband Matt Willis began fronting Netflix’s UK iteration of Love Is Blind, that is.While you’ve probably watched her on some of the UK’s biggest reality shows over the years (not to mention This Morning, where she’s become a regular face), there are plenty of other presenting gigs throughout her extensive resume you might have completely forgotten about.Here are the ones we dug through the archives to find, in honour of Love Is Blind UK’s second season...The Hot Desk (2008-2014)Emma got her start on music TV in the early 2000s, presenting segments for MTV as well as the UK version of the iconic TRL.In, Emma joined another British music show called The Hot Desk, whose other hosts included the likes of All Saints’ Nicole Appleton and Melanie Blatt, Laura Whitmore, Sarah Jane Crawford and Alice Levine.At the end of each interview, they’d asked the featured celebrity to sign the “Hot Desk” with a pen (isn’t that just oh-so 2010s?).One of Emma’s biggest interviews was with a young and bright-eyed One Direction in 2011, a year after they came third on The X Factor.Live From Studio Five (2010)In the heyday of gossip mags and celebrity interview panels, there were plenty of shows out there like Live From Studio Five.Emma joined a line-up of co-presenters – including Brian Dowling and Ian Wright – who would conduct interviews and discuss topical issues, celebrity gossip and big news stories.However it didn’t do too well with ratings, and ultimately came off the air after around a year and a half.Girlfri3nds (2012)Even as far back as 2012, Emma was clearly discovering that she had a bit of a knack when it came to reality TV.She presented two seasons of this British show about single women looking for love. The format saw three single women search for their ideal guy out of 100 auditioning men. It sounds like this was good practice for when she’d get the call from Love Is Blind all these years later.Prize Island (2013)Emma co-presented this sunny series alongside Alexander Armstrong back in 2013.Prize Island placed four pairs on an Island (obv) off the coast of Mozambique, with each team participating in rounds of games to uncover prizes, ranging from a TV to a luxury holiday.At the time, there were reports that it might not air at all,after it looked set to rival (ironically) The Voice. The show ultimately only last six episodes across one season.The Brit Awards (2017)Do you remember that time Emma hosted a whole Brit Awards? Honestly, we’d kind of forgotten too.Back in 2017 she took to the stage for the UK’s biggest night in music alongside co-host Dermot O’Leary.Dermot and Emma were brought in as somewhat last-minute replacements when the night’s original host, Michael Bublé, was forced to back out due to his son’s illness.That year’s Brits saw One Direction, Little Mix, The 1975 and more take home awards.Emma Willis: Delivering Babies (2019)This one marked a huge change for the presenter as she swapped reality TV and game shows for a hospital maternity unit.Across the course of four seasons, she worked on a labour ward working NHS hours while training to be a maternity care assistant.Whether she was making beds, cleaning floors or offering support during births, it made for pretty emotional viewing.The first four episodes of Love Is Blind UK season two are streaming now on Netflix.MORE NETFLIX NEWS:These Are Our 12 Top Picks Of The New TV Shows And Films To Stream On Netflix In August 2025People Are Just Realising This Ridiculous Detail In The Love Is Blind UK Finale And We're ObsessedLove Is Blind UK Star Reveals Dramatic Wedding Moment That Was Cut From The Show
