Emily also discussed her new body confidence after appearing in the jungle, revealing that she is now deleting photo editing apps on her phone to help her embrace her natural beauty.
She explained: "I'm deleting all my editing apps. You know you an edit your pictures until you're blue in the face.
"I used to slim them down and airbrush. It was so bad to the point you slim it down but you get rumbled as the wall is bent. I'm not doing that anymore."
Emily, who lost half a stone in the jungle, also discussed a shocking incident after she was approached by a stranger who told her "starvation suits you" while eating a burger in a restaurant.
