She revealed she shuns self-checkouts in an interview with Helen Skelton on ITV’s Lorraine this morning.

Emily said: "I do try not to.

"If there is an option to use a real human being and to have a chat with somebody and do your shopping that way, I do try and do that.

"I worry that if you see a row of self-checkouts you think, 'That all used to be jobs and real people.'

"I am more on the side of humans than robots."
