She looked incredible as she flashed her abs in a top crop while donning a smart suit.
Emma has been recovering from going under the knife after being diagnosed with a hole in the heart.
The former Big Brother host has been supported by celeb pals including Davina McCall who sent well-wishes after Emma's shock revelation on Wednesday.
Davina, who recently had a benign brain tumour removed, said to The Voice UK presenter: "Oh Wow!!! !!!!! What a shocker!!!
"Thinking of you all and sending you huge healing hugs."
Emma praised her Busted husband Matt for never leaving her side during her terrifying ordeal in hospital.
Sharing snaps on Instagram, the mum-of-three told fans about diagnosis and treatment.
She said: "A big humungous THANK YOU to the team at the Royal Brompton Hospital for their care and support.
"A few weeks ago, I had keyhole heart surgery, which feels very strange to write, and even stranger when I say it out loud.
"From investigations last year, to diagnosis and then surgery, they were absolutely incredible. As was @mattjwillis who never left my side.
I've put Emma through hell, but our marriage has passed the test
"Turns out, I've been pottering around for 48 years blissfully unaware I had a hole in my heart.
"Isn't it bonkers what's happening in our bodies that we have no idea about…
"What blows my mind even more is the wonders of modern medicine, and the spectacular people that save, fix and help us every single day.
"Can you imagine what it must feel like to have a pair of hand that can do that job?! They are the real superstars…"

Sophie Habboo says husband Jamie Laing threatened to leave her over her pregnancy hormones
Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing are expecting their first child together but it seems the pair have had a few rows after the Made In Chelsea star told his wife she was being 'unbearable' while dealing with her pregnancy symptoms. Sophie Habboo has candidly opened up about her extreme pregnancy hormones in her recent podcast, confessing her husband Jamie Laing threatened to leave after she became intensely 'grumpy' as a result of them. Jamie Laing, 36, and his wife Sophie, 30, are getting ready to welcome their first child, having announced the happy news with fans at the beginning of the month. The couple have been flooded with support from fans as they share heartwarming updates about their pregnancy, including some adorable snaps of Sophie's growing baby bump. On their podcast, NewlyParents, the couple discussed Sophie's hormones, revealing that Jamie told her she was being 'unbearable' when she was feeling nauseated all day. She recalled: "We are leaving and I feel really sick this day, unless I have a piece of bread in my mouth, I feel I'm going to vomit. And Jamie gets his camera out and goes, 'I'm going to vlog today'. I'm like, 'What on my Sunday that I'm about to vomit all day long? He's told me he's going to take me to Borough Market so I can eat the world, but it's for the vlog. "And what happened was Jamie sits down and he goes 'I'm going to call my friends and ask them what I should do about this. Because I'm going to have to leave you. "I'm going to leave you because you're just so unbearable right now. And I'm going to ask my friends how to do that." She recounted how she cried and wailed and said: "And I went 'You're going to leave me and I'm pregnant'.' Sophie and Jamie laughed as they retold the story but Jamie was quick to defend himself, saying he was totally unaware of the hormonal changes she was going through and is now completely supportive, the Metro reports. Jamie said: "The amount of people who are going to call me an a*****e. Just a caveat very quickly, I had no idea the emotional journey that you go on, how your body changes. "I just didn't understand the extreme things that go on and since having read stuff and by the way Sophie sends me stuff every day on Instagram, I am awe of what you go through. The hormone change is wild." Sophie then added: "The bowel change is wild, it's really upsetting and no one tells you that." In the podcast, they discussed their conception journey as Jamie admitted to not really understanding the the ins and outs of conceiving a child. He said: "Turns out I had no idea about this. I honestly thought for the whole of my life right? That I was walking around with a loaded gun.". Sophie immediately said his phrase was a 'rank description' as he continued to say he thought his penis was a 'loaded gun full of semen'. He said: "I thought it was easy to get anyone pregnant, like so easy". Sophie added that he was 'thick' when it came to speaking about fertility and explained that he had been wanting to try for a baby even when she was on her period. Jamie revealed he also had no idea that women could only get pregnant on just one day of the month. This podcast episode comes as the couple have rebranded their podcast from NewlyWeds to NearlyParents. In a press release about the change, Sophie said: "I'm so excited for this next chapter of our podcast, and of our lives! I feel like NewlyWeds has always been about sharing the real, messy, and wonderful parts of our relationship, and now we get to do the same as we start our family. It feels so special to bring our listeners along for the ride." Jamie added: "I can't wait to share this chapter of our lives with you – and to have a whole new bunch of hilarious stories to share! "NearlyParents is going to be all about the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens of not only becoming parents, but how we also navigate everything life throws at us in between!" Announcing the news that they are expecting their first baby together, the pair shared a touching video of their scan on Instagram. The footage shows Sophie lying on a hospital bed and smiling at Jamie, who asked how she was feeling and said, 'Oh my god.' The pair then saw the scan, and Jamie could be heard saying, 'Are you kidding me?' The video then panned to an ecstatic Sophie listening to their baby's heartbeat.

Ed Sheeran reveals secret boozy night out with major sports star as he lifts lid on his huge celeb pals
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AS one of the nicest blokes in the music business, it's no wonder Ed Sheeran's little black book is crammed full of huge celebrities. And in a new chat on The Louis Theroux podcast, he talks about famous friends including Van Morrison, who once woke him up at 6am after a boozy night out with Rory McIlroy, demanding to see him. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 16 Ed Sheeran's little black book is crammed full of huge celebrities Credit: Getty 16 Van Morrison once woke Ed up at 6am after a boozy night out Credit: Getty 'I was doing a gig in Belfast and my grandmother had come down to the gig and she loves golf,' Ed said. 'Rory had come down and she loved being around him. We stayed up super late talking to him, and I'd say we went to bed at like 4am. 'About 6am, I got a call on my hotel phone from the hotel — 'Mr Morrison's in the lobby, he wants to have breakfast with you'. 'I was half asleep and half drunk. So I just hung up and I was like, 'I have no idea who Mr Morrison is.' 'Then I got another call and they said, 'Sorry, Van Morrison is in'. 'I ran downstairs and there he was waiting for me and we had breakfast, which is really surreal. 'I'm a huge fan. We spoke for ages about everything we did. One of the subjects was actually Spotify. 'I had embraced Spotify quite early in my career and I think he was asking me to explain Spotify to him.' Ed also talked about hanging out with Eminem after he worked on the rapper's 2018 song River. 'He loves comic books, Marvel movies and video games,' Ed explained. Ed Sheeran left red-faced after cops in India demand he shut down street performance 'I sent him a Nintendo 64 with Goldeneye on it because he'd never played it.' About his new album Play, which is out on September 12, Ed said it feels like a double-edged sword. He explained: 'The two joys of my life professionally are writing songs and performing. I f***ing hate releasing music. 'You love the songs so much and then suddenly you're putting them out there and that might change your relationship with them if other people don't like them. 'I'm trying my hardest not to let that happen. 'I find releasing it just kind of sucks the joy out of it.' ED ON DAVE... 16 British rapper and producer Dave Credit: AFP 'HE'S done a lot of production on the new record because aside from being a brilliant lyricist, he's also an incredible producer and writer.' ...ON SIR ELTON 16 Ed with fellow Brit Sir Elton John Credit: Rex 'HE still calls me Ed She-ran. I just think that's just programmed in.' ...ON STORMZY 16 Ed counts Brit rapper Stormzy as one of his pals Credit: Rex 'I BOUGHT my first car, a Mini, and I then drove him to the pub. He didn't fit in the back.' ...ON EMINEM 16 Ed in the studio with American rapper Eminem 'HE seems like he'd be quite shy but I don't think he is when you get to know him. His humour is very similar to mine.' ...ON SAM FENDER 16 Ed says he and Sam Fender have 'mutual respect' Credit: Getty 'I MESSAGED him just being like, 'I really like this song'. I still haven't met him, but I at least know that there's a connection somewhere of mutual respect.' PITBULL LEADS BALD E PARTY 16 Pitbull is back at London's O2 Arena Credit: Alamy 16 Pitbull fans love wearing bald caps Credit: Splash 16 The Sun's Jack in his outfit alongside a beaming Pitbull Credit: Supplied PITBULL is back at London's O2 Arena for another two sold out nights after a successful show earlier this year. Delivering possibly the most fun gig i've ever been to, his Party After Dark Tour is a nostalgic trip down memory lane with feel good banger after banger after banger. Everyone there simply wants to have a good time - with the tube to the venue packed with fans in costumes all singing at the top of their lungs. Chancing my luck, I opted to dress as Mr Worldwide himself... and safe to say it went down a treat backstage. After a flurry of possibly the hottest female dancers I've ever seen, Pitbull appeared out of his dressing room - catching my outfit and grinning from ear to ear. "Man I love it" he laughed before giving me a big hug. I quickly launched into a short tale of how I'd ran to Soho that afternoon to buy my baldcap - bumping into three other music lovers doing exactly the same thing. Smiling Pitbull said: "Well next time you see them you make sure you tell them from me thank you. I love all my Bald E's. "We are going to have a great show tonight. I can feel it. "For the first time tonight my band are going to dress as Bald E's too." He added on stage: "I tell you why I call you guys [fans] the bald E's. Because we fly high, and we soar high like bald eagles. So therefore we are the bald E's "And everywhere we go, and anytime you're there, you put on that bald cap and you already know you are going to have the time of your life. In fact new date from QR Code Generator have revealed searches for 'bald cap' have it an all time high in the UK amid Pitbull's tour. It's hard to quite put into words the energy in the O2 - 90% of the sold out 20,000 venue has come dressed as the star. Sure concerts like Taylor Swift have an amazing atmosphere and everyone dresses up but vibe at Pitbull is... different. No one cares about looking sexy or Instagram-ready as they are wearing a rubber bald cap and shirt. They are simply there to have a good time - and boy does he pull it off. You don't need therapy. You just need two hours at a Pitbull gig.

Wearing a glittering mini-dress, she sang her new single, Type Dangerous, before collecting the Ultimate Icon Award. Jennifer Hudson, Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart were also at the event celebrating black entertainers, as was breakout rapper Doechii, who used her Best Female Hip-Hop Artist speech to take aim at Donald Trump for his crackdown on people protesting against immigration raids. The star, who will perform at Glastonbury later this month, said: 'Trump is using military forces to stop a protest. 'I want you all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?' PULP HEAD TO GLASTO 16 Jarvis Cocker of Pulp performing on stage Credit: PA GLASTONBURY got fans into a frenzy when organisers announced the full festival line-up, including a mysterious band called Patchwork. Now I can reveal who the band destined for the Saturday Pyramid Stage actually are – as I have been told punters can expect a set from Pulp. Jarvis Cocker and co headlined the festival 30 years ago and last did a surprise set there in 2011. But they are about to return following their comeback with new music. The band are set to top the charts this Friday for the first time in 27 years thanks to their album More, so this will be the perfect way to celebrate. There are also plenty of whispers about surprise Glasto performances from Lewis Capaldi and Haim, so there's lots to look forward to in three weeks' time. But organiser Emily Eavis kept schtum about who Patchwork are when asked about them during the Sidetracked by Glastonbury podcast on BBC Sounds. Speaking to hosts Annie MacManus and Nick Grimshaw, she said: 'I've been working on Patchwork for a long time. I tell you what, pretty much since I saw you this time last year I've been working on Patchwork.' Asked if that meant they took 'a lot of persuading', she added: 'Well, it's more logistical.' Foo Fighters did a set under the name The Churnups in 2023, and this sounds just as exciting. MILEY END TO FAMILY QUARREL 16 Miley Cyrus says she was the one who ended her family fallout Credit: Splash MILEY CYRUS has revealed she was the one to end the family feud following her parents' divorce. On the Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky podcast yesterday, she explained: 'My family and I have had a really difficult, dark decade. 'Half of us weren't speaking to each other at one point. And we cleaned all that up. That was a really important part of my year.' She added: 'I watched what happens when you don't clean things up as they're happening.' Asked if they'd had therapy, Miley said: 'We're so messy. We didn't even do any of that. To get each other in a room to even get to counselling would have been a war. So it was easier to just go, 'white flag'.' Miley, above, has written a song, Secrets, for her next album, about reconnecting with dad Billy Ray. RONNIE'S A PAINT ROLLER 16 Rock great Ronnie Wood shows he's handy with a paintbrush Credit: Getty FANS of Ronnie Wood can get their hands on his new art as he celebrates 50 years as a member of the Rolling Stones. The rock great, who is as handy with a paintbrush as he is with a guitar pick, had his work on display at the band's official store in London's Carnaby Street last week, before putting the items up for sale on his website. The musician's new exhibits include 50 – The Portraits which are hand-finished canvases of Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the band's late, great drummer Charlie Watts. Superfans can also buy an exclusive bundle that includes four portraits and a setlist from Ronnie's first show with the Stones in 1975, along with a limited-edition 7in vinyl single which contains a new recording by Ronnie. MUSE, the best live band I've ever seen in my life, have stepped in at the last minute to replace Kings of Leon as top of the bill for Madrid's Mad Cool Festival. The American rockers were forced to pull out after singer Caleb Followill injured his foot. But British act Muse will headline the opening night on July 10 instead. MICK HUCKNALL will be awarded ASCAP's Golden Note Award as he celebrates Simply Red's 40th anniversary. He will be handed the honour – recognising extraordinary career milestones – at an American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers ceremony in London on June 17. Previous winners include George Michael, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Sir Elton John. London singer and songwriter Lola Young will pick up the ASCAP Vanguard Award. Mick, you're my hero.
