And it’s one of those things where I always end up singing at the top of my lungs. I love to sing. I’m a good singer. It’s a little party trick of mine.

‘I feel so ashamed. And the moment I really try it, I know it will make me feel terrible the next day.”
And he added: “I sing everything, it’s the Celines, it’s Whitney.”
“I always tell everyone when I’m angry, ‘phones away,’ because I know it’s going to sound really bad on the phone.”

Speaking on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, Emily said she even has to ban her friends from using their phones in case they film her singing.

During the podcast, Emily also opened up about her “awkward” sexual experiences, reflecting on drunken encounters that she considers rape.
She weighed in on the issue of consent and revealed that she is leading an ‘affirmative consent’ campaign, which seeks to change the law so that ‘both parties involved in the sexual act have to confirm that they want to go ahead with it.’ ‘.
Emily explained that she could count on one hand the number of times she had enjoyed sex and that there were many times when she couldn’t remember sleeping with anyone.
She explained that she had been reflecting on past encounters that she now sees from a different perspective because women are conditioned to “repress” their feelings about sex and believe that having sex while too drunk to consent is “normal.”
Emily shared: ‘My situations have just been awkward, yes, literally. Honestly, I can only count on one hand where I’ve enjoyed sex.
‘Growing up, I’m sorry, as a teenager it was horrible. There were no barriers, there were no borders. Boys didn’t know how to be with girls, girls didn’t know how to deal with those situations. It was a disaster.’
Emily continued: “I went through life thinking that if you wake up after a night out and something has happened but you don’t actually remember it, you just have to suck it up and move on.”
“It’s like there’s no way anyone would do it… it’s just not worth going down that path of ‘but I don’t remember, I don’t remember any of that.'”

She weighed in on the topic of consent and revealed that she is leading an “affirmative consent” campaign.
“Yeah, horrible, I’ve woken up so many times and been like, ‘I definitely didn’t say yes to that.'”
The actress, who stars in the new Disney+ adaptation of Dame Jilly Cooper’s Rivals, added that men are getting away with having sex with drunk women.
When asked if any of her sexual experiences made her feel ashamed, upset or angry, she said, “Yes, you do, but it’s been so repressed for so long that we were taught for so long that that was a normal thing.” way to have sex, that you wake up after a party and say, “Oh my God, anyway, I don’t really remember that.” And then you just continue.
‘We were taught that this was normal.
“The problem is that we’re all talking more now, people come out and say, ‘Oh, sure, well, then I was raped.’ And it’s very difficult to have to admit it to yourself.
“But also the reason it’s hard for men is that men get angry because they’re afraid, because a lot of men hear this kind of thing and say, ‘I’ve done that before.’
“There will be men who are getting their kid’s uniform ready for school and they’ll hear something like this and they’ll stop in their tracks and say, ‘Oh, dammit, I’ve done that before.’
“And they probably regret it and feel very bad about it, but to be told now that that was wrong, and that actually that is now seen as rape, is difficult for people to swallow because they know that they have done it at some point.” place of his life.” many people live, many people.

In June this year, Emily welcomed her first child, Barney, with scientist Alistair Garner, who she grew up with and has known for over 30 years.
“That’s why it’s so hard to go there.”
Emily has led a campaign set up by CPB London calling for a change to rape and sexual assault laws.
The petition, which reached 10,000 signatures in five days, says: “Current rape and sexual assault laws allow for ‘implied consent’ and consider the ‘reasonable beliefs’ of the perpetrator.”
‘An affirmative consent model addresses these points by requiring explicit agreement at every stage of the interaction, avoiding misunderstandings. The Sexual Offenses Law is 20 years old.
“We believe the consent model needs to be re-evaluated in light of international change and to better protect survivors in court, shifting the focus from the absence of a ‘no’ to the presence of a ‘yes.'”
