‘We would talk about children, it was very intense very quickly. Both of us knew we wanted to be together. We’re soul mates.’

 She added: ‘[But] it hit us that we were so young and both of us haven’t done everything, we did have a break.

‘I think it was more ”oh my god, we’ve met the person we’re going to spend the rest of our life with and we’re 19 and 21”, it was such a bizarre time.’

Holly then asked: ‘Do you think having that break helped? Did it serve its purpose?’ to which Emma replied: ‘Definitely. First of all, I was on tour, he was on tour, so I think we would have both taken that time apart anyway.’

She went on: ‘But it gave us time to grow as people and when we came back together it was amazing.  

‘But we needed that time to go ”OK, I’ve met that person that I’m in love with and want to spend the rest of my life with, what do I kind of need to do in this little time just to explore and know it’s 100%?” It worked a treat.’
