Emma Willis
The broadcaster, who 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.
