As The Inbetweeners became a huge success, Emily soon found herself booked for magazine photo shoots.
She said: ‘This is where I get confused. And then I was confused,” Emily admitted. “They told me, ‘You have a photo shoot today,’ and that it would be for Loaded magazine or FHM… So I said, ‘Yeah, no clothes on and a bikini. Whatever.’ “. I honestly didn’t have a problem with it – I enjoyed those shots.
‘I was celebrating my youth and my sexuality in beautiful places, wearing beautiful underwear… and I loved it. It was great. I naively didn’t think what narrative was being painted for me.’
