Emma Willis is officially back – and she’s returning with purpose. After undergoing heart surgery to fix a lifelong undiagnosed condition, the beloved presenter is stepping back into the spotlight with a groundbreaking new show alongside husband Matt Willis.
The 49-year-old underwent keyhole surgery at London’s Royal Brompton Hospital to repair a hole in her heart — a hidden condition she unknowingly lived with since birth. Now, fully recovered, Emma is fronting a transformative four-part BBC One series titled Change Your Mind, Change Your Life, airing from May 13.
Co-hosting with her husband Matt, 41, the couple aims to spark real conversations around mental health. The series takes viewers behind the scenes of real therapy sessions, shining a light on personal struggles, emotional growth, and the power of asking for help.
“Therapy has changed our lives — as individuals and as a couple,” the pair shared. “It’s given us a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other. And we hope this series helps others experience that too.”
Originally teased under the working title Inside Therapy With Matt and Emma Willis, the series promises raw honesty, rare insights, and real impact. As Emma makes her emotional TV comeback post-surgery, the timing couldn’t be more powerful.
The couple said: “We know therapy isn’t accessible for everyone, so we hope this show can give people a glimpse of the process and tools that might help them in their own lives.”
Emma added: “Asking for help is not weakness — it’s one of the bravest things you can do.”
