On Wednesday, Emily jokingly begged for help as she showcased her huge baby bump while counting down the days until she gave birth
She explained how she wanted to bring about a change to sex consent laws for both men and women, by backing a campaign by Right To Equality.
Emily said: ‘I’m six months [pregnant] and I wasn’t going to say this, but I am going to say this – I’m having a boy.’
She added: ‘So I want him to be a part of a really positive change and I want him to grow up knowing he can talk about these things openly and enjoy his life. I want him to be on the right side of history.’
Affirmative consent means ‘anything less than a clear, uncoerced, and informed confirmation of consent like ‘yes’ cannot qualify as consent in the eyes of the law.’
It came after Emily admitted her ‘body is a temple’ during pregnancy, after previously being told off by friends for staying out late and not looking after herself.

Announcing the news, she wrote: ‘Hello Everyone, it’s been a little while but I’m back with some news. I’m delighted to share with you all that we’re having a baby!
‘I’ve never been so happy and utterly terrified at the same time. Please go easy on me.
‘Every day is mixed with thrill, fear, joy, hysteria, topped off with a lot of vomiting – a bit like when you’ve just stepped off of the Oblivion at Alton Towers on a hangover.
‘I’ve got to know my body on such an insane level. It’s made me appreciate the one I’ve been given SO much, I’m doing my absolute best to make it a home for the little squid I’m growing.
‘We can already sense the baby is reclined on a mattress of peanut butter and jam sandwiches in there, demanding more chocolate buttons.
‘I’m so happy to be writing all of this to you all. You’ve always stuck by me through the years, do stick around to watch me enter my mum era. Christ. Let’s go.’
