The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ host, 47, and Busted drummer Matt, 40, were deemed “perfect” to present the British version of the hit Netflix dating show when it debuts next year - after beating out fellow celebrity couple Rochelle and Marvin Humes - and it is thought that they will mirror their American counterparts Nick and Vanessa Lachey with their presenting skills.

A source told the Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “Emma and Matt caught the attention of show bosses following their documentary about Matt’s addiction battle – this was later boosted by ‘Cooking With The Stars’.

“They were perfect for ‘Love Is Blind UK’, but still had competition from famous couples, including Marvin and Rochelle Humes.”

Emma and Matt - who have daughters Isabelle, 13, Trixie, seven, and son Ace, 11 - recently admitted they were “grateful and overwhelmed” when the BBC One documentary ‘Matt Willis: Fighting Addiction’ was nominated for a National Television Award, which explored his life living with substance abuse problems and his journey to get and stay sober.

In the caption of a selfie of the two of them urging their 1.9 million to vote for it, she wrote: "A little update. WOW. Matt Willis: Fighting Addiction was longlisted for an @officialntas. We’ve just found out... it's been SHORTLISTED for Best Authored Doc!! We're both so grateful and overwhelmed by the recognition."

"Openly discussing addiction wasn't easy for Matt, but seeing the impact it's had, and hearing all of your stories makes every moment really worth it. So many of you on commented on socials and bumping into people when out and about.. it's clear how prevalent these issues are, though so rarely spoken about. Definitely a reminder that we need to keep these conversations alive. Voting is open now."
