Emma Willis wins 'Studio Five' job

Emma Willis has been selected as Melinda Messenger's replacement on Live From Studio Five, according to tabloid reports.

Earlier this month, Messenger quit her job as co-host after less than five months in the position.

Since then, celebrities including Natalie Pinkham and Willis have been guest presenting the show in her place.

According to The Sun, Five bosses were impressed with Willis's work and have since offered her the position. She is reported to begin full-time after Easter.

Willis is quoted as saying: "I can't wait to be part of the chat and banter on the show."

Five's head of news and current affairs Chris Shaw added that she is "great fun, she's a young, modern mum and she gets on brilliantly with Ian and Kate".
