She split from her ex-boyfriend Rob Jowers in September after just six months of dating.

With the world of dating being rocked by lockdown restrictions, Emily has tried her luck at dating via video calls on Zoom.
Yet the novelty quickly wore off as The Inbetweeners star struggled to build a meaningful bond without the opportunity to meet in person.
She explained to The Sun: ‘I had a couple of Zoom dates and realised I need the tactile vibes. I’ve got to have the physical connection. I spoke to a couple of pleasant people but Zoom dating ain’t for me.’

Emily has been dipping her toe into the dating pond since she parted ways with her film producer lover, Rob, in September 2019.
The pair became an item after they met at Jack Whitehall’s BRITs after-party and he offered to buy her a drink.
The actress had hopes of a ‘happy ending’ as their relationship progressed, and she even flirted with the idea of marriage and children, but their union ended after six months.

After dealing with the heartbreak of their separation, Emily embarked on the longest period of her life as a single woman, opting to focus on herself first and foremost.
She added to the publication: ‘I’ve only been single for nine months and that’s a really nice time to be by yourself. This is the longest I’ve ever been single.’
Emily has a history of dating hunky celebrities including One Direction’s Harry Styles and London-based model Jack Vacher.

With no shortage of potential suitors knocking at her door, the actress has decided to put dating on the back-burner to prioritise her career.
She continued to The Sun: ‘I’ve always been in relationships so I know I don’t struggle to get a boyfriend. I’m just choosing career and fun and all those things at the moment.’
Emily added that it is an ‘important’ thing for her to be single at the minute after turning 30 in December.
