This is probably one of the best interviews she’s had. Their chemistry was amazing…

Love Emma! London girl ❤ brains 🧠 and beauty

[@hivyfalou1393]

I just feel she''s escaping the leverage she got from The Kardashians and making the spot light all about her, I don't know why they talk about racisim in America or any elsewhere.

Brilliant!

[@oddity-media]

How can you state that you don’t want your daughters concerned about weight and appearance but yet partner with the KARDASHIANS?!

[@ed8329]

Great point. Look at Kim at the Met. She had her waist corseted so tight she was unable to breathe....

Most of the business on dragons dens have been funded through savings, family money and loans. Its a bit disingenuousto claim that they staretd with no money or funding. Great interview though
