Emily Atack says cruel trolls call her ‘a fat pig’ even when she loses weight and she thinks about weight 95% of the day
EMILY Atack has revealed she thinks about her weight "95% of the day" and cruel trolls called her "a fat pig" after she lost weight.
Emily, 31, showed off the results of her one-stone weight loss during lockdown last year – but she still receives abuse and it "absolutely destroys" her.
The Celebrity Juice star has been relentlessly criticised over her body despite her stunning looks, and she admitted the pressure has been building ever since she became famous in The Inbetweeners.
Emily shared: "I feel a pressure to look a certain way every single day. I think about my weight 95 per cent of the day.
"When I was sort of 15/16, I'd never really worried about my weight because, in my head, I was a slim teenager, and I never had any problem getting a boyfriend and that was all fine.'
She added: "It was when I started doing The Inbetweeners that people online started calling me fat, and that really surprised me because I'd never thought about my weight in a negative way before."
"Mid-afternoon, I'll have a snack, and then another meal early evening, which is normally a pasta-based dish or a HelloFresh delivery if I'm busy.
"And if I want dark chocolate, popcorn or my favourite pad thai takeaway, I won't deny myself."
The actress, who found fame as Charlotte Hinchcliffe in The Inbetweeners, credited her time in I'm A Celeb for making her feel more confident about her body.
She explained: "I'm way more accepting of my body now."
