Baring my big secret on TV makes Mum & Dad squirm
Emily’s new show jaw-dropper
The Inbetweeners star tells how her shocked mum puts her hands over her dad’s ears as she spills the beans.
The moment “no parent should have to hear” will be shown in her new ITV2 sketch show – and Emily, 30, admits she may have overstepped the mark – even for her. “I’m an open book,” she said.
“One-night stands, dating mishaps – I don’t think women should be repressed talking about them.
“As a blonde with big boobs, to talk about sex shouldn’t be seen as crude. For me, being a feminist is feeling free to express yourself as a woman.”
No parent on Earth should hear it… but I thought ‘sod it’

But even actress mum Kate Robbins, 58 and musician dad Keith Atack, 60, weren’ t prepared for their daughter’s revelation. “I’m sick of my brother threatening to tel l everyone,” she said.
“He’s had this reign of terror on me for years, so I thought ‘right, I’m getting this out in the open’. No parent on Earth should have to listen to it. I thought, sod it, I’ve got so much power up here and I’m going to milk it. There were a lot of open mouths and shocked faces.
“My mum was covering my dad’s ears.”
It must be a belter because Inbetweeners star Emily has never shied away from talking about her dating woes and drunken encounters.
Now dating toyboy model Charlie Edwards, 21, the 2018 I’m A celebrity runner-up confesses: “I drink and party a bit too much. I kiss too many boys and that is just who I am right now.
“I’m having fun. I’m so lucky.
“I’m working and healthy. I’m the happiest I’ve been in a very long time.
“What I’m learning is the more you embrace your imperfections, the more people embrace them with you.”
The Emily Atack Show sees her pull off some brilliant celeb impressions including ones of This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby and Celebrity Juice co-host Keith Lemon.
“I’m quite nervous about the Keith impression,” she said. “I hope he likes it. He’s done so many impressions of other people, it might be funny for him to see someone turning it around on him.”
The Emily Atack Show is on Wednesdays, ITV2 at 10pm.
