Personal life

After her marriage she was known as Emma Major. The couple have a son, Harrison ("Harry") (born in July 2000),[4] who was later diagnosed as autistic.[5]

The marriage ended in an acrimonious divorce in 2004, with Noble accusing Major of "unreasonable behaviour".[5] Noble was granted a decree nisi on the uncontested grounds that her husband had behaved in such a way that she could not reasonably be expected to continue living with him.[6]
