Emma Willis Returns to W for Two-Part Special

Emma Willis is returning to UKTV’s W channel for a two-part special, Emma Willis: Special Births, produced by Firecracker Films.

Each episode will include never-before-seen footage of births captured last year at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. Over two episodes, Willis will meet a selection of parents and babies six months after initial filming and discover how each family’s journey has unfolded since their time in the maternity ward. In each encounter, Emma will sit down with the family to watch the birth and reflect on the moment their newborn baby entered the world.

Emma Willis: Special Births follows on from Delivering Babies.

Helen Nightingale, senior commissioning editor at UKTV, said: “Emma is so passionate about her role as a Maternity Care Assistant and it’s wonderful to see her revisit families to see how childbirth has changed their lives since leaving the hospital. I’m sure there’ll be some lovely revelations and will be truly heart-warming telly.”

Adam Collings, channel director for W, said: “We’re thrilled to have more Emma Willis on W. Our highest performing series on the channel is Delivering Babies and it’s a real gem. We can’t wait to see more of the incredible birthing stories in this two-part special.”

Sam Emmery, head of documentaries for Firecracker Films, said: “We are delighted to be working with the wonderfully talented Emma Willis and fantastic team at W again on this two-part special series. The series will give W viewers a unique opportunity to see a whole new set of birth stories and will showcase the amazing work the maternity staff at the Princess Alexandra Hospital carry out on a daily basis.”
