mother and stepfather, younger brother and two stepbrothers. From the age of
six, Emma knew that she wanted to be an actress and for a number of years she
trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre
school where she studied singing, dancing and acting. At the age of ten, she
had performed and taken the lead in various Stagecoach productions and school
plays, including “Arthur: The Young Years” and “The Happy Prince”. In 1999,
