Elsewhere in the chat, Emma reflected on her first kiss, admitting it wasn't quite the romantic moment she had hoped for.
She recalled: 'It was under a tree in a park by my house and there were a group of guys playing rugby really nearby and they were grunting and making weird noises.
'And I remember I laughed throughout the kiss... yep, broke up with me a week later guys, I was heartbroken, heartbroken!'

Emma went on to reference 'the love of her life', but did not identify the mystery suitor or whether they are still together.
She said: 'You know you have that person who's the first love of your love of life kind of person, I remember when we kissed for the first time.
'It was at at the end of my driveway and at night where he dropped me off from our date. And I ran up the driveway screaming. I felt like I was in a film and there should have been a backing track of me running in slow motion.'
She continued: 'I think we've become much more aware of our positions in our communities and the circles in which we operate'

Emma's comments came after she addressed coming out as 'queer' for the first time.
The actress said it felt 'scary and revealing' sharing the news on social media four months ago when she referred to herself as a 'queer bride' and changed her pronouns to she/they.
She added that she was still defining her gender status and that she has a 'long way to go on her journey'.
