However, she returned two years later and not only made it to the semi-final, but also got to share the experience with her boyfriend, Ryan Lawrie.
The childhood sweethearts had started dating in 2015, and Emily was heartbroken when Ryan was sent home after a sing off against divisive rapper, Honey G.
However, there were only tears of joy on Friday when the couple tied the knot in a stunning ceremony near Glasgow.
Emily, 26, shared a series of snaps from her big day on Instagram and captioned them: "Mr & Mrs Lawrie."
The singer - who performs under the name ili - looked beautiful in a flowing wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline.
Meanwhile Ryan - who writes songs for other artists under the moniker KoolKid - wore a traditional Scottish kilt.
One picture saw Ryan sweep his new wife into his arms and tilt her backwards for a kiss at the altar, while another showed the newlyweds laughing as they cuddled on the grass in the sunshine.
The couple were also seen taking to the dancefloor at their reception for their first dance, with their friends and family all crowded around to watch.
Later, Emily switched into a second dress so she could really bust a move.
It was a short, strapless white dress covered in pearls and she teamed it with a silver pair of Crocs.
Ryan Lawrie admits he wants to win X Factor over girlfriend Emily Middlemas
After their big day, Ryan reposted the snaps of their wedding as well as a picture of their new 'Mr and Mrs' mugs.
He wrote: "Thank you to everyone who attended our big day & for all your beautiful cards/gifts. It means the world to us. Lots of love."
Their wedding comes three years after Ryan proposed at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt in June 2022.
