Oh, it's a good story. And also this was filmed late at night. I filmed it in my pyjamas and I thought,
Starting point is 00:01:20 it's night time, I'm going to be in pyjamas. Emily wasn't in her pyjamas. She looked flipping gorgeous. So I made an error of judgment there. But yeah, Emily does a very, very good celebrity story and interesting take on moving to England from Canada and how essentially she made a few errors when she got here. I hope you enjoyed this podcast
Starting point is 00:01:40 and tune in at the end for another little chat. Hello, Emily. Emily and oh I said that a bit like hello Emily welcome it's because this is late night with Emily yes we're recording this at late night and I'm in my pajamas so welcome Emily to the late night edition of the phone box podcast how are you? I'm good thank you so much having me. I'm a big fan. Oh, it's lovely to see you. Lovely to see you. So what year were you 14 and where were you living? I was 14 in 1997. Good year. Yes, it was a very good year and it was like a really pivotal year for me because I was born and raised in Canada. I'm from Toronto, as you would say. And then at 14,
Starting point is 00:02:28 we moved to England, well to Essex. And yeah, so much happened because the week we moved here on like the 30th of August, because we needed to get here to like get ready for the new school year, uniform, and it was like all so different. And then the day we got here we were unpacking boxes and I remember my mum hooked up the tv turned it on and all over every channel was like Princess Diana has just yeah literally like the day we arrived I remember it was just it was just crazy you know you always remember where you were oh my god well I mean mine I was in a I was in a boyfriend's bed oh my god and I remember I mean I was 18 so I wasn't this wasn't a 40 I was 18 and I remember his mom going and you were just watching the footage like
Starting point is 00:03:19 I remember like shouting to my mom and she went that can't be right she was only young wasn't she oh my god wasn't she like 36 or something oh my gosh it was just awful yeah it was such a big time so then did you have to like start school on the back of that yeah like a few days later I had to start school and it was just such a massive change for me because like in Canada school was just really different like we don't wear a uniform it's actually quite casual like rock up in your track suit like you don't really have to like yes miss yes sir stand up when someone walks in the room like it's just so different and I had I know I sound English now but I had a really Canadian accent and I actually struggled to understand what people were saying to me yeah because the Essex accent is quite strong
Starting point is 00:04:04 as well isn't it I was strong and like I always remember like certain things I just couldn't work out people like you're right I was like what are they saying what do you mean I was like and like in Canada if you said someone are you all right it would be like a serious like are you okay like yeah so I was like why does everyone keep asking me this and I remember it was just it was just so different and I really stood out because I was like why does everyone keep asking me this and I remember it was just it was just so different and I really stood out because I was like the new girl this really strong accent I think because I was different like I was like instantly popular yeah I'll come to this party come to this party because I was like the new girl can imagine did
Starting point is 00:04:39 you have like a little gang of friends at school or were you kind of on your own yeah I think a few people like took me under their wing I remember when we were in Canada my mum was like we're moving to England I was thinking like amazing like Spice Girls Oasis like the Queen like all this great stuff and then we sort of moved to uh just outside of London and um I'll never forget right so this is so embarrassing in Canada it's like really normal to rollerblade to school oh my god you didn't rollerblade to school and I just look back now and I'm just like so embarrassed and cringe but it was just that's how you get to school and here it's like oh my god if that's how you get school you want to be killed oh it's it's emily roll yeah and i've i remember i started school and then i was invited to a party that weekend yeah and i remember i wore like these really big like chunky boots and like combat
Starting point is 00:05:42 trousers and like a flashing necklace and like it just, everyone else was just not dressed like that. Were you in your roller blazer or did you left them at home? I left them at home. I think I learned pretty quickly. I would never be wearing them again. Okay. So what kind of posters did you have on your wall? What was your bedroom like? I had a very small like box room and my biggest crush was definitely Mark Wahlberg. Lovely Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Marky Mark. And, you know, he did the Calvin Klein. Yeah, of course. Yeah. So he was probably my number one. But then I also remember having posters up of Usher. Oh, you're coming up with crushes we've not had before, Emily. These are interesting. Usher and Mark, you're coming up with crushes we've not had before, Emily. These are interesting.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Usher and Marky Mark. Yeah. And then I don't know if he was as big here, but like JTT was so big in Canada. Yeah, I think I think he has been mentioned by somebody actually. But I don't think he was that big in England. Was he on Home Improvement or something yeah he was on Home Improvement and then do you remember he was the voice in The Lion King he was and it just I think he just got really really famous from it he was in all the teeny bopper magazines in Canada anyway and um he's such a cute kid and yeah I used to think oh he's really handsome yeah like floppy blonde hair didn't he had flop yeah yeah yeah nice hair okay so the door is knocking right and you're opening it and Marky Mark's there now would your heart still flutter well I actually got to meet him oh my god Emily Emily I love stories like this when people meet their crushes
Starting point is 00:07:25 oh my god oh my god tell me tell me tell me I feel like I manifested it in my life because I mean I was it was way later in the future so when I started doing YouTube and making videos someone reached out and was like oh we'd love you to interview for the new Transformer movie we'd love you to interview Mark Wahlberg this is my oh what okay right I need you to take me back to getting that email what did you do I freaked out so much and my husband was even like oh my god this is gonna go so horribly wrong she was like in love with him but the deal was because obviously I have like a family channel they were like we'd really like you and your son Fraser to interview him oh do I have to come my date is ruined now but actually Fraser was seven at the time
Starting point is 00:08:18 and so we went along and I feel like we interviewed a few other people on the cast as well but you can't remember them you're like I don't know who was that uh Fergie's husband don't even know his name but like those those um media interviews can be really like stuffy and boring lights everywhere but walking into those with a seven-year-old who just like loves transformers was really like it just made them all relax so I walked in to see Marky Mark and oh my god he's just as gorgeous in real life he's actually really short though I was like everybody's short they're all short Gary Barlow short they're all short yeah but yeah so we walked in and he just he loved the fact that he's got four kids I think and like yeah Fraser was there and he was asking all these questions and I had a photo with him and then he had a photo with Fraser and he put it on his
Starting point is 00:09:08 Instagram yes so what you're telling is getting better please please send me the picture of you in marking marks I need to put them in stories this do you look nice in it or do you look what do you look like in it I look okay I had literally had a baby three months before no I hadn't long had a baby but I was like forget the baby you'll have to feed yourself I'm going to see my dad I was breastfeeding but today I stop I'm not today um that I love it I love people meeting their crushes because it's just I was so embarrassed and he was nice and also you look at you had a photo with him because when I've done pressuring it's like you're not a live photo so that was good yeah he probably felt sorry for me no he didn't like he probably thought
Starting point is 00:09:55 she could have been the one I could have had four children with her but no I'm stuck with my wife oh he was really nice he just loves family life I think he's one of like nine or like he's he's got loads of siblings and yeah he's just really chatty yeah really nice oh I'm so glad he wasn't an arse because when you meet people I there was a story that was told to me not on the podcast about somebody meeting a 90s person and they were so horrible to them I cannot and they were the heart and it was so I was like and I kept I keep thinking about how horrible they were to them so now I'm glad Marky Mark was nice yeah did you did you like his music or was there were the 90s music you liked I loved his music uh musics I loved his
Starting point is 00:10:37 music I loved his films like basketball diaries yeaharies. Yeah. Fear. Do you remember Fear? It's so old. Reese Witherspoon. It's like one of their first ever films. I loved all of them. I need to watch it. Yeah. You just, I am very fortunate.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I manifest my crushes. So my crush is, oh, we're going to go with Barlow and Matt. So I met Gariballo, met Matt Goss, obviously lived here. When I was, when I was like kind of 18 to 21 I loved Ewan McGregor and apologies podcast people if I told you this story before but I loved Ewan McGregor I loved him so much you know from Trainspotting loved it I love kind of you know he had like the bad boy and you know so me and my sister went to a play for my 21st and after the play he came into the bar and I went up to him and I said can I have a kiss and he went yeah it was not a snog it was not a snog people I just want to confirm that
Starting point is 00:11:32 but I had a little kiss I gave him a kiss and he stank a jank of cigarettes oh my gosh you know what I didn't care I was like oh me and you and we'd have been a great couple. Okay, so what was your biggest fashion faux pas, apart from your rollerblades? I used to, I look back at just every picture of me as a teenager. I'm just wearing pink, like bright pink, which actually right now with Barbie, you know, I would have just been right on trend. But I had like pink timberlands like boots I had pink
Starting point is 00:12:07 Patrick Cox loafers I had pink everything and even now when I'm shopping I tried I stopped myself I'm like come on you're not a child anymore you're just drawn to the pink they sound quite trendy I imagine this is a very very stereotypical I imagine Essex girls like a bit pink yes yeah and I oh yeah I was partial to fake tan I got right in there with the fake tan as well did you have any fake tanning or plucking disasters or any shaving disasters yeah I feel like I learned a lot I used to love um a bit of sunning do you remember sunning who doesn't and I've said if there was sunning I'd probably still use it today have a quick spray before the school right just get in the sun I know loved sunning
Starting point is 00:12:51 loved fake tan I think now I've sort of worked out what actually works and how to do it all these systems in place now yeah yeah yeah you're gorgeous um so pink was fashion do you know what I like the idea of pink Timberlands I think they sound lovely what about something then you wore then that you would definitely still wear now I'm trying to think like back then capri pants were really big you know it's like pedal pushers yes yeah and I used to wear them to six form a lot because you had to be a little bit smart but I always remember wearing like pedal pushers and like sometimes I would shave my leg just halfway to just to wear them I was like haven't got time to shave the whole leg on top with some capri pumps I'm trying to envisage it like a shirt
Starting point is 00:13:37 yeah I looked like quite professional actually I think a lot of the time we were in a bit of business wear when we were these little business people like these satin satin shirts or like a little little cheeky suit jacket we were like honestly every picture from six so I look like I'm in a corporate office it's so funny but then yeah I did like outside of school I think I did love like dungarees I had some dungarees yeah dungarees are cool now I can't carry off a dungaree I've got like a like it would be tight on my belly it would just be tight on some bits baggy on some bits it just would not it would not it would not fit me but I know some people just like the is it Lucy and Yak they do like is it Yak have I invented that brand or Yak and I can't remember but they do um really really nice
Starting point is 00:14:28 dungarees but no not not for me um in Blur and Oasis what do you remember them being rivals and if so who did you choose this is vitally important were you Blur or were you Oasis? I love Oasis even now like i just their music is amazing isn't it and blur is actually from essex um i think oasis i think i've got to go away we've not had one single person that said blur isn't that weird i feel like i'm doing a scientific experiment and the day that somebody says blur i'm gonna have to get like a trumpet out or something nobody said it and they won the battle of the bands i can't i mean i did love blur do you know what i love about them like they sing with they sing with their accent don't they but it sounds so cool like in canada like people just
Starting point is 00:15:15 love that you know confidence is a preference and a bit of warrior what is known as park life i love it love it so much and i love the spice girls like all the all the british bet like it was just so cool like we it's funny we had take that but only like one song we only did you what was it um you know the one when rob is wearing like a fur coat and he's dancing around in the rain how does that um back for it. Is it? Whatever. And they're like grinding up a car. Aren't you back for good? So take that one. The thing were NSYNC a thing.
Starting point is 00:15:53 NSYNC. Yes. And actually, do you remember Bush? Bush X, like Gavin Rossdale. He was British. He was. They were massive in Canada, but not really that big over here. He went on to marry Gwen Stefani.
Starting point is 00:16:06 He's quite a handsome man, isn't he? I was thinking of Reef, but no, Bushy Hetlow, no, they weren't famous here at all. Isn't that funny? Yeah, but they were really big in America and Canada. Backstreet Boys. Yes, they were huge, yeah. New Kids on the Block, Marky's brother.

Who's the other guy from NSYNC?
Starting point is 00:17:45 I can't remember his name. The one with dark hair. Oh, JC. Yeah, he was in it. Yeah. Like there were so many of them. And it was very like a musical. So I used to love watching that as a kid.
Starting point is 00:17:55 And then you got here and it was Neighbours. Yeah. I remember like coming here and being like, there's only five channels. Five. It's like, this is so weird yeah and they're all everything's rubbish everyone everyone watches the same thing yeah it was did you watch Grange Hill and stuff like that no I do remember watching like a lot of Hollyoaks when I got older yeah I mean I know it was on like in the middle of the day week but you know when you're at uni you're
Starting point is 00:18:21 sort of around oh yeah yeah or the omnibus on a sunday you watch like five episodes in a row i do i used to love holly oaks with jambo and all that and kurt but then like as you get older but the same people are still in it to be honest yeah in fact the other day somebody followed me on instagram um jackie corkill which you probably won't remember she's in holly oaks now and you know when a random person follows you and you're like, how have you found me? That's a bit strange. But yeah, maybe I should get her on the podcast. First snogs.
Starting point is 00:18:53 You don't have to say the name of the person. Was it bad? Or was it good? Awful. Awful. I mean, I can't imagine one first snog being good. We've only had one that's been good everything else is awful they've all been awful yeah it was like for me it was definitely like
Starting point is 00:19:12 a bit of a peer pressure thing at a party it was like yeah you guys should kiss and then it was like all these people like yeah yeah yeah and it was just horrible just awful yeah I think and you just that you're just like ticking it off aren't you just like bing I've done that now yeah yes and how old were you around 13 is that really ridiculously young I was 18 Emily this is such a tragic tale I mean it was more just like oh hey mine was on I was 18 of a bus stop oh god it was terrible the 96 in town it was absolutely I went to an all-girls school I didn't really know any boys so it's just yeah 18 that's like that's that's really unacceptably late um what was your biggest teenage success probably just getting through this big getting up through after the rollerblade situation just like getting through school
Starting point is 00:20:05 and going to university I sort of somehow got in uh like I did okay at school but I remember like not really enjoying school like feeling like I had better things to do yeah yeah yeah it's funny because my kids are quite studious and like academic now and I think wow I you know sort of I don't remember like wanting to to be there I do feel like we got away with a bit more as well I don't think for me I don't feel like teachers were as strict or no one really cared about attendance no one was really yeah like we didn't have phones like if I hadn't turned up I don't think it would have been a bit of a mission to contact my mum you know on her landline at work yeah it's on a landline oh my god I used to phone my mum on her landline at work or like
Starting point is 00:20:52 five times a day I'd be like hello speak to Sandra please and she'd be like hello hello mum can I come and borrow a tenner and then then I'd go to her because she'd meet me. She'd be like, here you go. Yeah, and I think I've been working a lot. Like, you know, so it's funny because I feel like you had to sort of, for me and my sister, we had to become more independent. And we just had to get on because, like, you know, they were busy. And you couldn't just on the mobile, you couldn't contact them all the time. They can now. So, yeah, I think like going
Starting point is 00:21:25 to uni was like a big success for me and yeah I loved it so yeah that's how that's what you did you go to I went to Buckinghamshire oh was it nice that sounds posh it does but I don't think it was it was but what why I really liked it was because it did I wanted to study marketing and PR yeah I had that course and it was like an hour from home so I said this is perfect I can live away but come back and like do my laundry yeah and see my mom and yeah so that was the plan really what about your flop what do you look back and regret a little bit oh I think I remember in my teenage years, like failing my driving test felt like such a massive fail. Like I think I was I put so much pressure on it.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And like when I failed the first test and I remember thinking, oh, my God, this is the end of the world. That's it. That's the end of it now. Yeah. I was like, what am I going to do? I think I called every single day for a cancellation two weeks later and then passed that one. But I remember thinking like this is like I was just looking back it was so dramatic I was like oh my life's ruined everything was so dramatic I suppose if all your friends were getting cars and stuff there's a bit did you have to do a written test or had that not come around yeah yeah oh I definitely had to do a
Starting point is 00:22:40 theory yeah yeah yeah theory yeah but I don't remember a written one I think it was like yeah I think I meant I meant theory yeah I didn't pass my driving test till I was 28 I am a late developer oh no wow oh that makes me feel better you're like yeah that makes me feel better I started to learn to drive and then just stopped and then when I became a teacher my I got a job that was quite far away I was was like, I'm just going to have to learn to drive. But I did pass first time. Oh, that's amazing. I mean, some, well, it's not amazing, Emily.
Starting point is 00:23:11 I was 28. I was the oldest. I was like, oh, God, let the old lady in. I should have passed. Okay. Would you prefer to be a teenager now or did you like being a teenager then really hard isn't it like it's so different nowadays with social media and phones and like I remember I had a beeper people could like be media I never had one of them how did it work explain it to me what happened it's so weird really because you could only I'm pretty sure
Starting point is 00:23:42 you could page people just only numbers. So if a friend or my mom wanted me to call them, they would just send me like their number, like call me. Then I remember when I got my first boyfriend, we sort of worked out. We were like, OK, so say I love you. Then one, four, three, because there's one letter in I. Was that Marky Mark? Yeah, no, sadly not at the time but yeah we used to just page each other like each other like these codes almost that's so cute did you have to pay for a contract i couldn't can't work out how they work i had to put money on it
Starting point is 00:24:20 like you'd run out of money and then you'd be like um i've you know i couldn't get your page because i've run out of money i feel like you were quite modern in your pink tumblans with your page also i imagine drug dealers had a pager were you a drug dealer emily is this what you know for heroin we used the numbers yeah yeah yeah no um having a pager and then i remember having like my you know the nokia with the snake yeah of course everything on it actually now it's really hard because our kids are like i've got someone turning a teenager yeah so it is on my mind that one thing i think was good when we were young was if say you had a bad day at school or someone was being mean you kind of
Starting point is 00:25:03 walk out of school and go home that's it like yeah no nothing else whereas now that you can go home and it could just be constant on your phone like you could still be thinking about it they could still contact you but I do think oh we had a bit of a break we definitely did and also I think there was less FOMO because now my girl can see oh so-and-so's doing that and so-and-so's doing that whether I didn't really know what anybody was doing I just knew what I was doing and my friends were doing there was no oh so-and-so's tagged in there or doing this that and the other and also I think now it's a bit instant gratification as well whether we had to like wait for things yes oh that's what I was going to say even if you have a bad day and you want to
Starting point is 00:25:45 you know call your mum and vent like I would have had to get home pick up the phone call her work put the extension in put them I'm just like hello can I speak to Sandra Whetton please and they're like oh Emma's on the phone again I've had a bad day your mum would be like oh shut up hang up wouldn't you so by the time she'd get home I think everything like would have simmered down a bit everything's so yeah now if something's going wrong it's just like mom um yeah with phones so yeah well I get a little whatsapp message this is just a little like little frantic oh my gosh please yes just just with all due respect you're being crazy just calm down a little bit please um so you'd like to be a teenager then I think so yeah I think especially being on social media now I always think I actually didn't start social media till I was like 31 yeah by then I very
Starting point is 00:26:37 much knew who I was knew myself so like you know mean comments and I think it didn't I think if I had been 21 I would have found it much harder because you know you're sort I think it didn't I think if I'd been 21 I would have found it much harder because you know you're sort of like I don't know like learning who you are and by then I was like oh I've got a husband who loves me and like Emily you are so much more stable than I because I still find it really hard I mean I block most words I mean they can't actually leave any comments apart from you're amazing but yeah that's the only one that's allowed um I do find it really difficult and I actually think our kids are going to be more resilient I think they're going to be a lot more unfortunately like you used to kind of
Starting point is 00:27:17 like the you know the social media well whether it's for me it sometimes I'm a little bit like baffled by it all if you could go back and tell Emily one thing what would you say to her little Emily I would probably say you're amazing you're really thin like you're not fat you're really oh god we all thought we were fat all the time like you're so thin please stop and I'd probably say something like you're gonna meet a really nice guy he's gonna really love you like even when you're giving birth and see you at your worst and yeah I'd probably and then and then you'd be like p.s you're going to meet Marky Mark yeah how did I forget that I so can you imagine I would have freaked out oh if if if like older Emma went to see little
Starting point is 00:28:08 Emma and was like and one day you're gonna go to a take that premiere I just he would have died he would have died I would have all died it's so funny isn't it like it's such a crazy a crazy world but yeah I I think a lot of the time, I worried about my weight, which is a bit regretful. I think though, like in the 90s, I don't know if you've seen, it was so bad. And I've seen some people put compilations together on Instagram of like, what it was like. And actually, then you think, oh my god, it was really bad. Like, I remember sometimes thinking, okay, I'm going out this Friday. So I'm like, not going to eat that much for the next few days.
Starting point is 00:28:46 So I like lose five pounds and then get it. But it's actually so bad. I'd have chicken soup. I literally just lived off chicken soup and I do sit-ups every night. I put TLC on, no scrubs. And I'm just like, no, no scrubs. Just sit-ups. I do exercise videos.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I saw a clip where it was Chris Evans weighing Geri Halliwell to see if she put weight on or something. Or Posh, I can exercise videos. I saw a clip where it was Chris Evans weighing Geri Halliwell to see if she put weight on or something called Posh. I can't remember. She was like eight stone. He did it to her and Victoria, like Posh five. But everyone's just like, ha, ha, ha, ha. Like that's not right. Can you imagine if someone put you on scales right after you had a baby?
Starting point is 00:29:21 It's just, I mean. Well, sadly I'd be in jail because I would have murdered them. Yes. baby it's just i mean well sadly i'd be in jail because i would have murdered them yes each time like for me i just i carry up you know very i pump four stone each time yeah because you're having a baby no i know and actually think oh that makes sense and actually when i'd actually had it you you know it does sort of come off over the course of a year or so but oh it's just awful the 90s were wild for um but like all heroine chic and all you know it was just it was it was a wild old time well Emily it's been so lovely to have you on the podcast the Marky Mark story might be one of my new faves I love it I just feel like it's just I don't know I just I look on TikTok when they have those videos
Starting point is 00:30:07 of like somebody being on Ellen and then Justin Bieber turning up behind them I make me cry every time I just love stuff like that it's just like a real like full circle moment it's just so lovely um uh I will see you online very soon make sure you all go and subscribe to Emily.

Starting point is 00:30:38 It's embedded in my brain forever. What did he say? I can't even. What was the song that Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch sang um do I google it whilst I'm okay Marky Mark you're all shouting Marky Mark I'm googling it and the good vibrations oh yes it was good vibe how could I forget that Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch what a cracking yeah you can feel it baby, I can too, come on, swing it, I think I'll stop there, what a cracking name, he was like, Marky Mark is not
Starting point is 00:31:14 enough, who do I need, I need me Funky Bunch, bring them back, actually Marky Mark's got a bit cracker, he does things like, I get up at two o'clock in the morning just to be with the kids. He's just spends like, he's up like, I don't know, 22 hours a day and does 15 workouts. I couldn't be bothered with that. I think I'll stick with Stephen. I think on this week's poll on Spotify, we will do favourite New Kids on the Block song. And I might slip in a Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch song and see if anybody notices. So pop over to there, pop over to Spotify and leave your answer.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Of course, the correct answer would be New Kids on the Block tonight and that would just be the right one. Don't forget each week over on the Fembox podcast, we do loads of polls. People are going, we didn't know, they're there.
Starting point is 00:32:01 They're there on the stories. We do a poll each week. It was who was the best 90s American programme and, of course, Friends won. It was up against Sabrina. It was up against Frasier, I think, in the final. Maybe I knew that. Frasier, which is the programme that you always end up watching
