In order to tackle the situation Emma picked up some HG Mould Remover.
HG Mould spray can be purchased from Tesco for just £5.25 for a 500ml bottle.
A product description reads: "HG mould spray destroys all moulds immediately and easily.
"It is a self-acting cleaner that deals quickly and effectively with unhealthy black mould stains."
Emma sprayed the product on her ceiling from a few centimetres away and then left it to sit for 30 minutes, ensuring to keep the area well ventilated.
She then applied the mould remover to the surface a second time.
"You can see that this is working already", she said, showing off her ceiling, which was starting to look a lot cleaner.
"It's such good stuff".
She then washed off the spray with warm water and a sponge.
Emma revealed her ceiling, to show that the mould had disappeared and the ceiling looked bright and clean.
"I just can't believe how well this stuff works, it's so good".
Black mould is a fungus that grows in warm, wet conditions such as in the bathroom.
Mould can build up for a number of reasons, such as leaking pipes, poor insulation or if condensation is not wiped away after you've had a shower.
It's important to get rid of mould as it can cause many health problems.
According to the NHS, black mould can lead to asthma attacks, allergic reactions and infections.
