Following her heart surgery, Emma Willis made a devastating admission. The presenter, 49, had her entire life without realizing she had a “hole in her heart.” Instead, she underwent keyhole heart surgery.

And now, she has admitted she still has palpitations and might have to deal with it forever. Emma, who is married to Busted singer Matt Willis, revealed the build-up to the operation was “scary” as she explained the procedure to Heart Breakfast’s Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden.

She described having “a little device fitted into my heart to fill a hole that I never knew existed” with the presenters. And Emma continued, “I always had palpitations, but kind of fitting with what was happening in life,” when Amanda inquired about any side effects.

If I had a night out or if I was a little stressed out, then. So they kind of stuck with me. However, I’ve had them a lot for the past few years, and they’ve since increased. However, I also have very high cholesterol, so I was referred to a cardiologist.

“So, it wasn’t even intended for that,” he continued. And then he said, “Actually, it’s okay, but there’s something going on with your heart and I want to check it out,” when I got there.

She continued, claiming that the fluttering had “definitely died down” but that it might still exist. “My heart needs to sort of learn to sort of go back to normal.”

Emma first made her condition public. She stated at the time, “I had keyhole heart surgery a few weeks ago, which feels strange and even stranger when I say it out loud.

They were “absolutely incredible,” they said, “from investigations last year to diagnosis and then surgery.” As did @mattjwillis, who never left me.

Turns out, I’ve been pottering around in blissful ignorance for 48 years because of a mind-blown emoji. Isn’t it crazy what’s happening in our bodies when we have no idea about it?

The presenter continued, “The wonders of modern medicine, and the amazing people who save, fix, and help us every day, blow my mind even more.” She then referred to the doctors, nurses, and patients who had supported her throughout the entire procedure.

As fans and friends flocked to the comments section to send well wishes, she also shared images of her in a hospital. Charlotte Hawkins, who retorted the message, was one of the recipients who said, “Oh my goodness, glad all is well! We extend love to you,” said Judi Love, adding, “Oh we thank you for having a great team and recovering hun.”

Jin Sasaki was stopped by Brian Norman Jr. with one powerful punch in Tokyo, keeping his WBO welterweight title.

In the opening round, Sasaki was dropped twice by the American, and the one-way traffic persisted as the challenger climbed swiftly to his feet.

Sasaki, 23, attempted to use fire to ignite his home crowd, but Norman Jr. threw a powerful left hook in the fifth inning.

Sasaki was unconscious when the shot knocked him out, and the Japanese fighter spent a number of minutes being worked on by medical staff before being taken off the ring on a stretcher.

As the official outcome was announced, Norman was standing alone in the ring, unopposed.

The 24-year-old extended his unbeaten streak to 28-0 with a 22-knockout and third consecutive stoppage.

After being a top-five finisher of the year, the Georgia native is eager to add more world titles to his collection.

Although Norman Jr. intended to fight IBF and WBA champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis, his domestic rival confirmed this week that he intended to increase his weight.

He later said, “I wish I had a certain fight coming up.”

However, they were informed that B. Norman the Storm was approaching. You all are aware of what occurs when someone runs and grabs their boots.

A former ITV journalist was charged with “punching and throwing chips” at her boyfriend in a row. She has now appeared in court. During a “disagreement” at Oulton Broad North railway station, Victoria Mayo, 41, entered a not-guilty plea of assault on Edward Royall.

Victoria told the court that her boyfriend had called the police about the incident when she appeared at Great Yarmouth Magistrates’ Court. He was said to have had his hair pulled during the “altercation” that allegedly took place on February 22.

Rob New, the lawyer representing Victoria, claimed that her boyfriend had informed the court that he would represent the defense at her trial and that he had asked the magistrates to drop the assault charge. He added that the couple “consisted” with this behavior, and he questioned whether it should be brought before the courts.

He questioned whether this behavior constitutes an assault because the couple’s relationship has been consented. The issue is whether a crime has actually occurred because Miss Mayo’s partner will testify for the defense at the trial. According to legend, there was a disagreement at the train station when she allegedly threw things and chips at him.

The video showed her trying to “pull his hair, punch him, and throw chips at him,” according to the statement. During the trial, images of the alleged injuries are also anticipated to be displayed.

Additionally, it was claimed that Edward allegedly called the police “right away” after the incident. However, Victoria’s attorney claimed that the police had arrived at the scene and were already “in the area” for “a different matter.”

During the trial, prosecutor John Cooper requested that Edward’s phone call with the police be audible.

Chairman of the bench Paul Hinson released Victoria on unconditional bail and she is due to attend the trial at Great Yarmouth Magistrates Court on September 12, reports Eastern Daily Press.
