Emily Atack breaks down in tears as she reveals horrific online sexual abuse as Holly Willoughby rushes to comfort her

EMILY Atack broke down in tears on This Morning today as she discussed the horrifying sexual abuse she receives daily online.

The actress, 33, revealed that she had been continually trolled by one man in particular who kept creating accounts to send her vile message after vile message.

The comedian appeared on the show to talk about her new BBC Two show - Emily Atack: Asking For It? which airs tonight.

Detailing the comments from one particular troll, Emily explained: "He says that he tucks his children into bed and then comes alone to abuse me.

"Then, well, sometimes he asks if I'll get involved with him and his wife. Then he says: 'I want to do it behind my wife's back while my children are asleep.'

"He calls himself 'daddy Dave' to me and constantly says the word 'daddy', which is really psychologically horrible."

Emily started to cry as Holly Willoughby rushed to comfort her.

She continued: "Also, I am terrified of exposing someone and then I've ruined their life, you know?"

The hosts were left concerned about Emily and want to know if she was OK.

She told them: "I am fine, I always will be."

Emily has previously spoken out about the vile x-rated messages she receives on social media, but finally decided to raise more awareness by filming a documentary about it all.

In a trailer for the show, Emily, who is best known for playing Charlotte Hinchcliffe in Channel 4's The Inbetweeners, says to the camera: "Every morning when I wake up, I see a man's penis I haven't asked to see."

The star then gets her phone out and starts scrolling through all of her direct messages.

She continued: "This morning, I've had... Does, I want to see your t**s count?... 37."

Emily Atack: Asking For It? airs on BBC Two tonight at 9pm.
