Emma Willis brands husband Matt Willis with one word as she responds to Busted's surprise reunion

Emma Willis has used just one word to described her husband Matt Willis after his reunion with his former bandmates was revealed. It was announced on Thursday (March 23) that Busted will be reuniting to bring out a new album and head out on another arena tour.

Matt will be back alongside James Bourne and Charlie Simpson as the trio celebrate their 20th anniversary. It's been a whole two decades since Busted landed in the UK charts with their debut single ‘What I Go To School For’. It kickstarted a succession of hits for Matt, Charlie and James, including the number one hits ‘Crashed The Wedding’, ‘You Said No’, ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’, and the Top three singles ‘Year 3000’, ‘Air Hostess’ and ‘Sleeping With The Light On’.

The band, who had four UK number one singles and won two BRIT Awards will begin their nationwide tour this September, which will conclude at Manchester's AO Arena on Sunday, 24 September and before then, will be releasing new music, an album featuring remakes of their most popular songs as well as other 2000s bands McFly and All Time Low.

Confirming the news on Instagram with a video reminded fans of the band's biggest hits as well as hearing from the boys themselves, they said: "Busted is back. Tickets for our 20th Anniversary Greatest Hits tour with special guests @hanson go on sale next Friday 31st March. Check out the link in our bio to access pre sale. Loser Kid 2.0 featuring our friends @simpleplan will be out on the 14th April. A decade is a long time, two decades is an even longer time. We can’t wait to see you. #Busted20."

As fans freaked out in the comments, tagging their friends and preparing to grab themselves some tickets, Emma also reacted to the news. Sharing the announcement video to her own Instagram Story, the presenter wrote: "Well this is gonna be fun!!"

She then reshared her hubby's post, which was a photo of himself, and wrote: "Fit..." alongside hands making a heart gif. Meanwhile, Matt had simply captioned his post: "Here we go!!! #busted20."

Emma's support for her man comes after Matt cheekily posted a photo of his wife stripped off in the bath and sporting a blue face mask to pay tribute on Mother's Day. Captioning the post, the singer, who shares Isabelle, 13, Ace, 11, and Trixie, six., with Emma, wrote: "Happy Mother’s Day beautiful girl. You know exactly how to do this stuff! You are a natural born bad a*s mother!!!"

Former Big Brother host Emma has recently credited Matt for being a positive influence when it comes to self-care: “Because I see him do it a lot, and I’ve always not really given that time to myself. But now I realise that it helps a lot," she told the PA News agency. And my husband [Busted musician Matt Willis] has got me into cold plunges, which I can’t quite believe because I hate every second, but I feel great when I get out!" she added.
