Jemima appeared to break current government rules in place of the Covid pandemic, which state you are only allowed to meet up with one person outside.
MailOnline has contacted Jemima’s representatives for comment.

Early in the new year, The Crown’s Peter and Jemima started a romance which has seen him spending time with her in a ‘social bubble’ at her house.
Reports that they are already living together are said by sources to be wide of the mark.
However, the pair, who have known each other for years, are said to be ‘serious’ about each other already.

‘There is a bit of a feeling that Jemima might have been holding a candle for Pete for some time, or at least have had her eye on him.’ an insider told the Mail On Sunday.
Gillian – who has gained plaudits for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in the fourth series of The Crown – is said to be ‘upset’ at the way her former partner has moved on so quickly.
She is said to be ‘bemused’ at the new relationship, with friends saying ‘she has certainly raised an eyebrow or two’ at news of the romance.
One friend of Gillian’s suggested to the Mail On Sunday last month that Jemima has been trying to make a romance with Peter for ‘quite some time’.
A source close to the couple said: ‘They have been seeing each other happily since the New Year.
‘They are old friends and are now in what they call a legit support bubble.’
It emerged in December, that Peter and twice-married Gillian had decided to split amicably after four years together.
They never tied the knot or even moved in together, which is said to be one of the reasons why Gillian is ‘surprised’ he is living with Jemima, the former wife of Pakistan’s prime minister Imran Khan, after just two weeks.
A source said: ‘There was a bit of a process before Gillian and Peter split but nevertheless, this has all happened very quickly and has been quite a surprise.
‘The impression is that Jemima has been trying to make it happen for quite some time. She has been into Peter for a long time.
‘But a couple of weeks before getting together is not a long time, especially after four years together. Hence the bemusement on Gillian’s part.’
Former X-Files actress Gillian was first linked to Oscar-nominated Mr Morgan when they attended a launch party for The Crown together.
But the couple, who each have children from previous relationships, put their split down to busy ‘working schedules and family logistics’ despite working together on the Netflix series.
Jemima meanwhile has two sons – Suleiman, 24, and 21-year-old Kasim – from her marriage to former cricketer Khan. The couple married in 1995 but divorced nine years later.
Since then, the daughter of the late tycoon James Goldsmith and socialite Lady Annabel Goldsmith has dated several high-profile men.
She was associate editor of political magazine The New Statesman and was European editor-at-large for the US magazine Vanity Fair and now runs a film production company.
Father-of-five Peter was nominated for an Academy Award for his script for the 2006 film The Queen, starring Helen Mirren.
His other screenwriting credits include the movies Frost/Nixon and The Damned United, as well as the acclaimed stage play The Audience.
