Emily was a drama student from Bristol when she took part in the social experiment.
But on day nine she was ejected from the house after using a racial slur against her house mate Charley Uchea.
She was removed from the house at 3:30am after she said it during a discussion in the garden.
Emily took full responsibility and quickly apologised, saying publicly: “There’s no amount of words that can cover how sorry and how stupid I’ve been.
“But we’ve all got to move on now and all I ask from anyone reading this is that they understand what really happened and accept my apology.”
Speaking to OK! back in 2021, Emily reflected on her choices and said: “It’s a period in my life that I try not to revisit too much if I can.
“The media noise and intrusion was bad but what was worse and lasted for a while was the deep shame I felt about what I had said.
“As well as having a better understanding of racism and how it manifests in our society today.”
Now Emily is a social media star and boasts 50k followers on Instagram.
She has also changed her name to Valentine.
The star shares content about make-up, fashion and lifestyle.
Her bio states: “30-something ADHD girlie. Bride to be 2024.”
Emily has stated that she shares “short hair lewks”, style hacks and mini vlogs.
It states says that she is also a creator coach for Influencer Biz Academy.
Big Brother series eight was won by fan favourite Brian Belo.
