Ted recently admitted he was “mortified” at the thought of his niece appearing in the jungle.
He told the Daily Star: “I thought she’d just be seen as this blond bombshell, having showers in bikinis on national TV, all that stuff. I was mortified.
“When you’re an old man like me and your niece is an attractive young woman, you think ‘Oh, I don’t want to watch Emily in a bikini under the waterfall.”
Emily is also related to Paul McCartney, who is her grandmother’s cousin.
Emily grew up around Paul and he used to go round their family home on New Year’s Eve.

Emily entered the I’m A Celebrity jungle just over a week ago and has already won over viewers.
After just one day Emily had viewers calling her their winner after her reaction to being thrown straight into a terrifying challenge which saw her jump out of a helicopter.
She amused fans when she shrieked as a leech feasted on her leg as she and her fellow campmates arrived in Snake Rock.
William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said at the time: “Emily is already one of the biggest names in the history of I’m A Celebrity and she is going to get a load of airtime.”
