Emma Willis: Delivering Babies, 10pm, W
Emma Willis steps away from the glamour of the Big Brother red carpet to become a maternity care assistant in an Essex hospital, cleaning the ward beds, making the new mums a brew and – the best bit – assisting the midwives as they deliver babies. Ever since her first child was born Emma has been in awe of the work midwives do and this six-part series follows her as she finds out just what it takes to work on the front line of midwifery. This week, Emma begins her first exhausting 13-hour shift, as she supports labouring mum Laura, who’s 10 days overdue, and assists with a home birth. But how will she cope with the drama of her first emergency C-section? Rating: ****
