Then in 2017 she enjoyed a role as Penelope ‘Bunty’ Windermere in the BBC’s period detective drama, Father Brown

In 2016, Emer married TV presenter Rick Edwards, who is best known for hosting TV, Channel 4’s Paralympic coverage and BBC quiz show, Impossible. Sine November 2021, he has co-hosted the BBC Breakfast 5 Live breakfast show.

The couple made headlines in 2021 when they admitted that they sleep in separate bedrooms, so that Emer’s sleep isn’t disturbed by Rick’s super early 3.30 am wake up call for hi 5 live breakfast show.
