EMMA Willis has told how she was "floored" by a hole in the heart diagnosis as she met another mother with the same condition.

The broadcaster, who earlier this week admitted she was “nervous” about taking over from Zoe Ball on the BBC Radio 2 Saturday lunchtime slot this weekend, discovered she was living with a hole in the heart last year.
The 49-year-old is now backing a new campaign by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) to raise awareness of people living with heart conditions.
Willis unknowingly lived with a hole in her heart for 48 years, which only became evident after a routine health check last January.
Medics discovered she had an enlarged heart and a hole between the collecting chambers of the heart called an atrial septal defect.
