"They had been experiencing problems for some time after realising they want different things and aren't on the same page for the future."

She discussed the rumours in a YouTube Q&A with close pal Ruby Adler as they chatted all things MIC.

When one fan asked if they enjoyed appearing on the E4 reality show, Emily seemed hesitant to answer the question before admitting, “It’s like having any job really. Sometimes you have good days at work and sometimes you have bad days. Sometimes I absolutely hate it, sometimes I absolutely love it.”

She continued, “They’re all going away to do the summer series... I’m not actually going, purely because – not because I’m not enjoying filming – but because I have so much going on at the moment. I actually need to be in London and I don’t have the time to go away for like five weeks and film, which is really a shame.”
