As well as running a successful business, she also works in media and charity work.

She teamed up with the NSPCC to raise awareness of child abuse and observe their work to protect vulnerable children.

As a young adult, she did a lot of travelling and worked hard to escape the trauma of her childhood.

She said: “I did modelling, presenting, learning, travelling anywhere and everywhere on jets from Monaco to St Tropez.

“Attending lavish parties and climbing the social ladder as far away from my past as possible.

“Building my career in London and Dubai. I was very Emily in Paris – anything to keep my focus away from the reality of the first 18 years.”

What happened to Emily Victoria?

Emily was sexually, emotionally and physically abused by her father for her whole childhood.

The abuse started when she was two years old and lasted until she was 18.

During this time, she lived at home with her mother and her siblings, all of whom were completely unaware of what she had to endure.

Speaking to The Times she said: “For years I hoped someone, a relative, a friend, my mother, might spot what was going on with me.”

Emily shared that she was excellent at hiding the abuse, she also revealed that her father was an alcoholic and extremely violent.

In a collaboration with the NSPCC, she spoke of some of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father.

She shared that her father raped her for the first time when she was 12 years old.

“I had two main fears, that if I told anyone about it I would maybe die like he might kill me because he was that aggressive or he might kill my mum.

“So I decided to sort of wear it and just try and get through it every time it happened just blank out and carry on my life as best I could.”

Who are Emily Victoria’s parents?

Emily’s parents aren’t named but she speaks about them as she shares her story.

Besides the awful acts he did in the home, Emily’s father worked as an estate agent and then a tarmacker.

Emily also revealed a horrifying fact, that when she was eight years old, he became a foster parent.

Emily speaks kindly about her mother, she describes her mum as “the most generous, loving person.”

She also said: “Like so many mothers and wives, she didn’t notice what was going on behind the scenes.

“Now I’ve learnt not to carry guilt but, at the time, I felt so terrible that Dad wanted to be with me instead of her.

“I might have resented her as well and thought, why wasn’t she able to see what was going on?”

Later, Emily says: “When she found out what had happened, she was devastated at the abhorrent abuse. It shook her to the core.”

Where is Emily Victoria’s father now?

Emili’s father was sentenced to 14 years in prison for his crimes against her.

He was released from prison in 2023, prompting Emily to seek answers for her suffering.

She said: “I’m going to use my voice to help abuse survivors. I want to make a difference and inspire people.”

Emily contacted her father when he was released via a restorative justice facilitator.

He was unemployed and living in council accommodation at that time and he refused to meet with her.
