I’m A Celeb’s Emily Atack has a very famous relative – and he’s a music legend
EMILY Atack has been revealed as one of the famous faces to appear on this year's I'm A Celebrity.
And the actress, who will be seen entering the jungle when the show starts this Sunday, could have a rather famous relative tuning in to check in on her.
As well as starring in the Inbetweeners and Talk Thirty To Me, Emily, 28, has another claim to fame.
Indeed, her mother Kate Robbins - herself a singer and actress in the TV series Crossroads - is cousin to Sir Paul McCartney.
Emily has been pictured hanging out with the music legend's fashion designer daughter Stella McCartney backstage at one of her shows in Paris.
Last month, the star made headlines when it was revealed exclusively by The Sun she had a fling with Seann Walsh.
It comes as Emily admitted she fancies fellow I’m A Celebrity campmate John Barrowman, and said she would like to “cuddle up to him” in the camp.
The single star boasted about packing lots of “lovely” bikinis for the infamous jungle shower scenes.
Jetting into Australia’s Brisbane airport for the ITV show yesterday she said: “I’m young and single so I’m open to love wherever it might be.”
Asked who her ideal man is she said: “I’m really happy John Barrowman’s in there. I know he’s gay, but still I would quite like to cuddle up with him. I’m a huge fan of John, I’m so happy he’s going in.”
The blonde, who played Charlotte Hinchcliffe in the hit E4 comedy, hinted that she’s going to show off her famous figure and said: “I’ve packed loads of swimwear — some lovely bikinis.
“I hope to make some really nice friends.”
Emily has been linked to comedian Seann, 32, Harry Styles, 24, and Strictly pro Giovanni Pernice, 28.
Openly gay actor John, 51, is married to his longterm British partner Scott Gill.

It was also revealed that Emily had begged I'm A Celebrity bosses to help her find a boyfriend during her upcoming stint in the jungle.
Following the unveiling of this year's line-up, the Inbetweeners actress, 28, appeared in a short video alongside her new jungle pals and admitted that her experience Down Under would be more "fun" with a male companion at her side.
Giggling to camera, she confessed ahead of her appearance: "Put a nice bloke in there that I can sit and chat to.
"Well you know, I'm single it might be fun."
