Matt Willis has paid a sweet tribute to wife Emma on her birthday, which is also the anniversary of the day he proposed.

The Busted singer surprised the 41-year-old with a trip to Venice, Italy, in memory of the day he asked her to marry him in 2007.

The 34-year-old musician shared a snap of Emma smiling over a dessert, with the words “Happy Birthday” scrawled on the plate in chocolate, and wrote alongside the picture on Instagram: “11 years ago today I asked this amazing woman to marry me. She got all embarrassed and then said yes.

Celebrity Big Brother and The Voice UK host Emma shared a message of her own.

Posting a picture of herself and Matt standing on a bridge, she wrote: “11 years ago today @mattjwillis surprised me with a birthday trip to Venice, where he proposed on this very bridge … this afternoon he surprised me again, and here we are revisiting the scene of the crime.

The couple married in July 2008 after dating for three years.

They have three children together – daughters Isabelle and Trixie, and son Ace.
