“I am a very outdoors person and I enjoyed all aspects of it. The fox was so cute I could have taken him home.”
A keen actor, Emily is hoping to pursue a career in film and television.
“Acting is all I’ve wanted to do for as long as I can remember and am very lucky to be doing a film at the moment called Zoo. It’s about a local woman looking after an elephant in her back yard and it’s a true story. I hope to continue acting for as long as I can,” she added.
