She found fame playing Charlotte ‘Big Jugs’ Hinchcliffe in The Inbetweeners.

The former I’m A Celeb runner-up also confessed that at one point she felt compelled to ‘reinvent herself’ in order to be taken seriously.
More! But, Emily Atack, 30, has insisted that there is ‘more to her than a pouty face and a pair of boobs’ and admitted she got fed up with being described as ‘a pin-up girl’
Speaking to The Daily Star, Emily said she got fed-up with being described as ‘a pin-up girl’.
The actress admitted: ‘People think that if you look a certain way you can’t write, or you don’t have an opinion.
‘I thought I needed to almost reinvent myself and show that there is more to me than a pouty face and a pair of boobs.
‘The irony of it was that, my whole life, I’d been striving to be sexy when in fact being what I really am – a wobbly-arsed, freckly-faced, fun girl – is what makes me feel happiest.’

Her admission comes after she admitted she has shed ‘a lot of pounds by accident’ and feels ‘much healthier’ during the closure of the hospitality industry amid the global crisis.
In April, Emily revealed she lost a stone in three months after a troll warned she would ‘put on weight’ in quarantine.
Sharing the secrets behind her slimmed-down figure, the TV star told us: ‘I think because I haven’t been able to the pubs I’m healthier. I’ve been working out a lot in my garden, which I’m very lucky to have.’

The I’m A Celebrity 2018 contestant also detailed the positive effects of exercise on her mental health: ‘I’ve lost a lot of weight by accident really.
‘It wasn’t my goal to lose weight but I think it’s down to not going to pubs and restaurants. I work out more so for my mental health, the goal is never to lose weight but to remain as happy and healthy as I can be.’
The TV presenter confessed she still likes to treat herself to a glass of wine once in a while, stating: ‘I’ve definitely been boozing in lockdown like everyone but I’ve been conscious to not drink too much.’
