She went on to reveal that her self-care and love falls to the wayside once she enters a relationship,
“It’s a horrible thing to admit but it’s just true, and there is something about a romantic love that drains me of all my self love, it just does.
“I put everything into that person and I’m just a shrivelling little wreck, handing my heart over on a royal, red fluffy cushion.”
Emily has been single since last year following her split from Liam McGough, 39, who appeared on Big Brother in 2007.
Describing herself as a 'serial dater' with a 'colourful love life', she is on the hunt to find the one, but finds that her singleton lifestyle is often at the centre of conversation.
“I’m learning that in my thirties I am a consumer of love. Obviously most people my age are settled down. My little sister is married. Most people around me are doing it all now, and I’m not yet."
“They find my dating life fascinating because I go out with different people. I fall in love and then my heart gets broken or then I break someone’s heart accidentally."
However, this has helped the comedian to narrow down what she is looking for in a person and solidified that dating apps are not for her
Adding that constant swiping left or right to accept or reject a potential lovers makes the model feel disposable.
"I know both worlds, before dating apps and trying to navigate the new life of dating, which is being really expendable," she shared.
“Everyone is always looking for something better, and I have been guilty of that too."
Speaking on something I think we can all relate to, the actress said that her own mother, Kate Robbins, 64, takes every opportunity to get updates on her dating life.
"There are the dreaded words that my mother says to me after every date — ‘Has he texted you yet?’ I’m like, ‘Don’t ask me that’. And then he texts."
Emily is currently dating and open to finding Mr. Right.
