To mark The Sixth Sense star’s special day, Emma posted an emotional message describing how she felt to watch old videos of her partner, calling it 'a knife in my heart.'

'So fed up of tiresome pal flirting with my husband and always putting me down''So fed up of tiresome pal flirting with my husband and always putting me down'

Fighting back tears she spoke to the camera: "So today is my husband's birthday. I have started the morning by crying. As you can see by my swollen eyes and snotty nose, I just think it's important you see all sides of this.

"I always get this message or people always tell me like, 'Oh you're so strong, I don't know how you do it.' I'm not given a choice. I wish I was. But I'm also raising two kids in this.

"So sometimes in our lives we have to put our big girl panties on and get to it. And that's what I'm doing.

"But I do have times of sadness every day. Grief everyday. And I'm really feeling it today on his birthday."
