About Emma:Emma's farther Trevor separated from mum Pauline when she was eleven. "Everyone says, 'It was the worst time of my life.', but it wasn't really." claims Emma. Her father was a milkman and Emma would sometimes go on rounds with him to help out. Last year she bought her mum, who she calls her 'hero,' a nice house with a garden, because she had always wanted one. Paul James, or PJ, is her younger brother. Mum Pauline runs a Gojukai Karate club and has trained Emma to a 'very high standard'. Emma also has a half brother called Robert. Emma was a dancer and an actress, once auditioning for the part of Bianca, who is now a popular character in top soap EastEnders and later had a small role in the show. She has been in a number of adverts including ones for tooth paste and the Halifax building society were she was a bridesmaid on a giant wedding cake made up of people. Emma started modeling at the age of 3 and was a child model for
Mothercare. Emma's showbiz career started early when she became a child model. She attend St Theresa's School, London, then the Sylvia Young Stage School, which she was
forced to leave at 14 for financial reasons, only to return three weeks later on a scholarship. After school, she studied drama at Barnet College for two years, then joined the London audition circuit in search of work. She was given a few very small TV and advertising roles, before joining the Spice Girls.
