Emily Atack’s ITV2 comedy show ‘on pause’ after she lands huge role in Disney drama
EMILY Atack's ITV2 comedy show has been put on ice after she landed a huge role in a Disney drama.
The Inbetweeners star has shelved The Emily Atack Show after launching the sketch series in November 2020.
Actress Emily, 33, has won a starring role in new Disney+ drama Rivals, which which also stars Danny Dyer, and is an adaption of Jilly Cooper's raunchy 1988 novel.
Emily's rep told The Sun: "The Emily Atack show has been a great success so far, and Emily is discussing future opportunities about the series.
"But because Emily is flat out filming for her new Disney+ show she hasn’t had a moment to sit down and write new material or commit to any filming dates.
"She’s hoping she will have time to revisit the Emily Atack show in 2024"

Emily and Danny will be joined by David Tennant and Aidan Turner in the new series.
The eight part series features romantic entanglements, sex and unforgettable characters.
Its story is set against the backdrop of the drama, excess, and shocking antics of the power-grabbing social elite of 1980s England.
The series opens in the fictional county of Rutshire as a long-standing rivalry between two powerful men is about to boil over.
Comedian Emily Atack will transform into Sarah Stratton, the new wife to Deputy Prime Minister, Paul Stratton, played by Rufus Jones.
She has been seen looking unrecognisable alongside Danny with the pair dressed in country attire.
Last week The Sun revealed that Emily's character will be stripping off for some very X-rated sex scenes.
