The Game of Thrones star previously opened up about doing her own singing in the film, telling Entertainment Tonight: "I don't do my own stunts but I do do my own singing. I was aware that that would be too much pressure for me to be like, 'It's George Michael! I'm singing to George Michael!' [But then] I kind of realised that the words that I was saying were so poignant for the character, and that I was telling her story, and it's just that George Michael was giving me the vehicle with which to do it." She added to NPR: "It was incredibly nerve-wracking, because I care so much about singing, and I'm genuinely at my happiest when I am singing."

Emilia is evidently a huge fan of Christmas, and chatted about what the time of the year meant to her to HELLO!, saying: "It means family, it means friends, it means alcohol and food! It's a good excuse for people to meet up and hug a lot." She also opened up about playing the role of Kate, a young woman who has had a difficult time after recovering from a major illness. She explained: "You just have to delve into the situation you find yourself. The character needed a huge amount of empathy which was very easy to bring to this storyline."
