I can't be eating bags of chips if I'm having wine," she told Hello, adding that she loves a glass of wine with a meal. "I like white wine, I like red wine, I like rose wine, I like dessert wine, I drink everything! All the wine!"

Emily does intermittent fasting, eating her first meal around noon. I don’t have breakfast – I’m not a morning person – and I’ll eat my first meal, usually a chicken salad, around midday,' she explains. 'Mid-afternoon, I’ll have a snack, and then another meal early evening, which is normally a pasta-based dish or a HelloFresh delivery if I’m busy. And if I want dark chocolate, popcorn or my favorite pad thai takeaway, I won’t deny myself,” she told Women’s Health.

4. She Indulges on the Weekend

“Food for me… there is no such thing as a guilty pleasure, it's all just pleasure. It should never be guilty,” Emily explained to Hello about her approach to cheat meals. "In the week, I'll snack on things like cashew nuts and fruit. I'll have a banana. If I'm sitting there and craving something sweet I'll have a bit of dark chocolate, and I always have an emergency tub of ice cream,” she said. "At the weekends I pretty much eat what I want. I save all the naughty stuff like crisps for the weekend.” She added: "I'm in my 30s now. I can't get away with having pizza takeaways three times a week! And I'm certainly not one of those people that runs marathons. I'm not athletic in any way, so I need to keep a good balance."

5. She Exercises and Meditates

As for physical and mental health, Emily gets her workouts in. Not only is she big into boxing, but revealed to Women’s Health that she regularly meditates. “’m quite spiritual. I believe in positive energy and manifestation – that what you put out into the universe, you get back,” she said.
