The birthday celebrations come after Emma praised her three children for openly ‘expressing themselves’ in a post shared to mark Children’s Mental Health Week.

The TV presenter took to Instagram in February to share a snap of her offspring showcasing their eclectic styles as she commended them.

Captioning the image which showed the children with their backs to the camera, she wrote: ‘Expressing themselves for #childrensmentalhealthweek. Raised in exactly the same way, yet all completely unique.’

Listing each one of their attributes she has come to admire, she continued: ‘My teenager before her time, my boss lady baby and my rainbow boy ❤️.

‘This week I’ve watched them discuss and explore their own mental health with their teachers and class mates and I couldn’t be prouder.

‘I don’t remember experiencing anything like this when I was at school but it’s so obviously necessary for our kids, so their little minds can start to understand their thoughts, feeling, and emotions and that they feel comfortable expressing them.’

Last year, Emma expressed her shock at the outpouring of support she received after sharing a picture of her son Ace wearing a pink top and sporting long blond hair. 

Appearing on Good Morning Britain back in October, the presenter said she was ‘overwhelmed’ by the reaction, sweetly saying: ‘He’s just my son in a pink top.’

She continued: ‘For me that’s normality. He loves colour, he’s always had long hair, he’s a free and able-minded boy.

‘He’s like, ” why do I have to dress in green and blue and grey, when I love red and pink and purple?” He’s always been that way.’

She continued: ‘We’re trying to raise him as an open-minded, inclusive individual. There were some negative bits, but that’s where the block button is great!’
