On Wednesday, Emma was left embarrassed when her ringing phone interrupted an interview with presenter Mark Heyes during ITV’s Lorraine.
The beauty was busy talking about her new film Colonia, when her Tina Turner ringtone rang out in the pre-recorded chat.
Mark laughed though, telling the actress she had the ‘best ringtone ever’.
‘Well, I’m glad that I’m forgiven because it was Tina Turner otherwise that would have been terrible. I’m so sorry!’ Emma exclaimed.
The interview also saw the stylish star speak out on her 15 years of red carpet experience, explaining she still gets nervous strutting her stuff at big events, despite being in the spotlight since she was 10 thanks to her role as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter.
