Yahoo News Matt Willis stuns fans with Emma Willis tribute to celebrate 16-year anniversary
Matt Willis has stunned fans with his very permanent tribute to his wife Emma as they celebrated their wedding anniversary. The Busted star and TV presenter have been married for 16 years having tied the knot back in July 2008.
The couple met in 2004, Matt was still performing as one-thrid of pop-punk group Busted alongside Charlie Simpson and James Bourne, and Emma was busy working at MTV as a presenter and the pair were dating a year later.
Matt, now 41, and Emma, now 47, began presenting together on MTV and went on to co-host I'm a Celebrity: Extra Camp, the Brit Awards for ITV2 in 2008 and the Baftas for E! Network. However, Matt spent some of this time visiting rehab for alcohol and drug addictions.

After spending three years in and out of rehab, the musician found sobriety in 2008. The year before though, Matt took Emma to Venice for her birthday in 2007 and has previously shared how she was unnerved as her man "went all weird" and she thought he was going to dump her.
However, he actually got down on one knee at busy tourist spot, the iconic Rialto Bridge, to which she said: "Don't you dare!" They then later tied the knot and now have three wonderful children - Isabelle, Ace and Trixie - together.
Marking 16 years since they said 'I Do', Matt took to Instagram to show off the incredible new ink he'd arranged to have done in tribute to his wife. He said: "Happy Anniversary @emmawillisofficial… I love you more than ever. 16 years and it keeps getting better. Thanks @tomftattoo for your amazing work and fitting me in just in time for today."
Musician and podcast host Matt's new tattoo features a full-body image of Emma, in which she could be seen with her trademark short dark locks swept to the side, while sporting a low-cut dress, with the whole image set against a black background.
And his fans and followers were quick to respond to the post. @ash_crompy said: "Happy anniversary to the best couple. What a tattoo." @haakplaneet commented: "Wow this tattoo is amazing! congratulations to you both." @angelqueendiva wrote: "Omg this is absolutely epic happy anniversary to you and Emma."
@ellecr92 gushed: "Oh my gosh. Stunning piece of art @mattjwillis - such a deserving gesture. I love your love for one another - beautiful couple! Happy Anniversary." @mcgoldrick.angela replied: "Awww wow that's amazing happy anniversary." @annette.saunders22 added: "Oh my wow. What a gorgeous tribute to your amazing wife."
