The actress then strips naked to play tennis with Alex Hassell's character Rupert Campbell Black, who is also starkers.
Emily is completely nude in the eye-popping scene, where she protects her modesty with a just tennis ball and racket.
She previously stressed that she was unbothered by the prospect of baring all, explaining on The Chris Myles Show on Radio X that she was more intimidated by the thought of playing tennis.
'It was so funny, because when they sent me the script, they said, "You know, you're going to have to play tennis naked." That was one of the things they said. And I said, "Disney, there is no way on Earth you're going to get me to play tennis!"
'That's genuinely what I was worried about. I was like, "No way!" But yeah. So, once I got past all that bit, read the script, I was like, "Yeah, this is made for me, this role." Those roles come along very rarely, and it just spoke to me.'
Set in 1986, Rivals follows the cut throat world of television, including the tense rivalry between Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant).
Disney+ teased the happy news of Tony's return last month, sharing an Instagram snap of David's name card and script at a table read, with the caption: 'Did someone ask for a Rivals update?'

Rivals became a huge hit with viewers and many were desperate to know if there would be a second series.
Then back in December 2024, the renewal was confirmed and in May a first look at the new series was shared on social media.
Author and executive producer Dame Jilly Cooper said of the news: 'I'm utterly sex-static filming for the second season is upon us.
'It was magical working with Happy Prince and Disney+ on the first season and seeing everyone fall head over heels for my beloved characters.

Yasmin misunderstood the question and thought it was about who she would pick and she wrote Dejon on her board. Later she confessed this to a bewildered Jamie who became clearly upset. In tonight's episode Jamie sat with a couple of the boys and said: "This doesn't go outside of misinterpreted the question and she said Dejon." He continued: "I am a little caught of guard because she is acting like she hates him. "Even in the challenge the other day always oh Meg and Dejon, Meg and Dejon. "Why is she obsessed with him bro? Know what I mean. "Like that is weird." Fans of the show were quick to comment and one wrote: "Yasmin & Jamie I'm gonna need you to just hold it together!! The final is on Monday." Another added: "I completely understand Jamie's confusion, but I think him and Yas just need to have another conversation and it'll all get worked out." Watch the moment FURIOUS row explodes between Love Island's 'strongest couple' as they head for a split just days before final "Yas and Jamie need to sort it out asap! stressing me out," said another fan. Tempers also flared when the Islanders were asked"Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?" Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon and Meg said to Shakira, 'I think if people were honest in the first place. "And told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story.' An emotional Shakira became annoyed at Meg and accused her of being fake and acting like they are mates. She said: "I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' Meg replied: 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake.' Shakira then told her she will never pretend to be her mate. Meg interrupted: 'You won't be my friend on the outside.' Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.'
