EMMA Kenny is best known for her work on This Morning as the show’s resident psychologist – but she’s also a busy mum, writer and presenter.
With news that she has now welcomed her third baby following a secret pregnancy, we give you the lowdown on the star.
Who is Emma Kenny?
Emma Kenny is a Manchester-based psychologist who has appeared on This Morning.
She is also a TV true crime presenter and has her own YouTube channel called Emma Kenny True Crime.
Emma trained to become a psychologist after discovering her first husband had cheated on her with her best friend.
She hit rock bottom but picked herself up and earned a degree in psychology at the University of Central Lancashire.
Emma then gained a Masters in counselling from the University of Manchester.
Does Emma have children?
Emma has two sons with her ex-husband – Tyde, 20, and 16-year-old Evan.
She has now welcomed a baby girl with her long-term partner Pete after 10 years of trying.
The couple, who have called their daughter Etta-Blue, had kept Emma’s pregnancy a secret following several heartbreaking miscarriages.
Emma told her Instagram followers: “I’ve waited 10 years to finally hold you in my arms.
“For the past 38 weeks you have grown quietly, you have allowed me a symptomless and easy pregnancy, and whilst your arrival was by far the most dramatic, I feel a blindsiding giddy glee knowing you finally decided to announce your presence in a way that none of us could ignore.”

Does Emma Kenny still appear on This Morning?
Emma is best known for her appearances on This Morning as the ITV1 show’s resident psychologist.
She also acts as an expert on various life topics, as well as leading conversations including the effects of revenge porn, taking too many selfies, and the generation gap.
But in 2021, Emma was forced to deny reports that she had been dropped from This Morning.
It came amid claims that show bosses were unhappy with her ‘anti-lockdown’ views during the coronavirus pandemic.
Emma said at the time: “Well I’ve made the papers for no reason, but just to make it clear I’ve just signed a new contract with This Morning and count the staff and many presenters as friends. Thanks for the messages of support. Xxxxxx”
A This Morning spokesperson added: “Emma Kenny is one of a host of expert contributors we continue to feature on the show.”
When she’s not on This Morning, hosts her own true crime shows on her YouTube channel.
Later this month, she will also kick off a stage tour called The Serial Killer Next Door.
A description for the show reads: “Emma explores the ingredient list for what creates a serial killer in this entertaining and informative show.”
