I'm not excusing Emma's actions, and I fully accept she behaved very badly during the fight (I wasn't aware she spat at Victor either). As bananarama said, Emma went in for a laugh but unfortunately came up against stronger players who have used their brute strength and intelligence to intimidate her. Emma's immediate reaction was to put into effect her streetwise Manc upbringing to stand her ground, rather than be pushed over.

It must be a psychological blow for Emma. She will definitely need a lot of care and attention after this, and I hope she pulls through hopefully making a few quid from the tabloids no doubt all eagar for her story. That would be some consolation. And I think we can rule out any chance of her ever having a career in TV too.
