Emma Willis is offering her famous friends as a charity fundraiser

Emma Willis is offering people the chance to chat with her famous friends for charity.

The 44-year-old television star has launched the new Be My Guest initiative which gives members of the public the opportunity to have a voice call with her celebrity pals during the coronavirus pandemic, including the likes of Mel C, Olly Murs and Paloma Faith.

Appearing on \'The One Show\' this week, she said: "I\'m better at thinking at night, so during a trip to the loo at 3am, I was sitting there, like, \'What can I do?\'

"I thought, \'I know people who a few people around the country like, so why don\'t we see if they will donate their time for people donating money?\' And Be My Guest was born."

\'The Voice\' host teamed up with author Giovanna Fletcher - who is married to McFly star Tom Fletcher - to create the fundraising campaign.

People who donate will be entered into a draw to win a call with one of the celebrities, while the proceeds will go to The Trussell Trust, Mind, NHS Charities Together and Refuge.

There is no limit on how much or little can be donated.

Meanwhile, Emma - who has children Isabelle, 10, Ace, eight, and four-year-old Trixie with her husband Matt Willis - admitted she was too scared to work in a hospital during the ongoing health crisis.

She is eligible to work in a healthcare setting throughout the global health crisis as she is a qualified maternity care assistant and although the NHS made a plea for "extra hands" to fight the virus, she admitted she couldn\'t bring herself to do it.

She explained: "This is part of something I really struggled with in the beginning. They needed extra hands and I could have been those extra hands. I could have done that, from a qualified point of view.

"But I was absolutely terrified, and that\'s what I take my hat off to really. Those staff on the front line don\'t have any second thoughts."
