Emma Barnett, 32 is one of the critically acclaimed British broadcasters and journalists. With her tenacious interviewing style, she's been described as the personality equivalent to Jeremy Paxman.

Emma Barnett's Life Changed When Her Father was Imprisoned
It seems that the TV personality and renowned actors live a wonderful life behind the screen but, life is not as easy as we just assume.
Barnett was just 23 when her world totally changed. Her father Ian, a businessman who was involved in commercial property was imprisoned for 3 years in 2008 after he admitted keeping brothels in Great Manchester.
He was originally arrested in 2005 after the police raid. He was suspended for the time living off the immoral activities. Sources say that he made £5 m from his massage parlors. Emma's mother, a teaching assistant, was also convicted of laundering cash from his illicit empire.
The broadcaster totally broke from inside when she came discovered that her father was going to jail.
"I fell to my knees sobbing in the carriage, as other passengers looked on aghast. I knew my dad was in trouble but he always made out it would never come to anything."
When the news hit the newspapers, she was deeply embarrassed as it was the same industry she's working in.
"I made a big decision. I decided to try to thrive. While that might sound contrite and straight out of the pages of a self-help book, it's true. The sins of the father are not the sins of the child. This wasn't my mess and I had a choice – either let it break me into tiny ashamed pieces, or use my anger to fuel my passion for life, love, and my work."
Though it was a matter of shame for the star, she bravely overcame the complicated moments. She had to face a series of questions on daily basis but, we all know that nothing can intrude between the success and a dedicated personality.
