Who is Emily Shak? Meet Scotland's Instagram queen of style

Emily Shak first rose to fame through her glamorous social media jet-set lifestyle, which all started around five years ago.

The beauty queen, based in Glasgow, now has a following of 1.5 million on Instagram, where she continues to keep her fans updated on her showbiz lifestyle.

The 32-year-old stunner, whose real name is actually Emily Shakarji, was born in London before moving to Scotland.

She used to have her own fashion website, but very quickly realised that social media was the way forward....and how right was she?!

Emily first started her vlogging - posting sexy lingerie snap leaving her fans' imaginations running wild - and it wasn't long after that her following rocketed.

In 2019, Emily broke up with her Falkirk husband of seven years, Paul Gough.

After that everything turned sour when he posted a raft of updates to his own Instagram account, which appeared to mock his ex and other influencers who are part of the same scene.

He shared a series of tongue-in-cheek messages which joked about being "quite a big deal on Insta". But Emily reacted to Paul's posts and took many swipes at him on TikTok and Instagram in retaliation.

She kept her side of the story to herself and refused to be drawn into a public debate.

At the time, Paul blasted the claims and criticised his Boohoo brand ambassador wife for "staying silent" in the wake of the scandal and not backing him.

Emily later found new love with Charles Connolly.

Before Emily became well known, she started out as a model at the age of 16, as well as having roles multiple retail stores at shops including Hollister and Next. Emily continues to work as an influencer.
