Emily Atack hits back after she has 'wholesome Sunday' ruined by picture leak on explicit site

Emily Atack has furiously hit back after her picture was circulated on a porn website.

The Celebrity Juice team captain and former Inbetweeners star said she has her 'wholesome Sunday' ruined. She said she noticed something was wrong as she started receiving unsolicited messages from people online.

It appears that a selfie Emily took of herself sitting in the back of taxi while sticking her tongue and lifting up her huge pair of sunglasses from her eyes had been shared on a pornography website’s Twitter account. It has since been removed.

The original caption said: "Looks like Charlotte from the Inbetweeners has had quite a dramatic career change." Another message appeared to say: "Somebody tell @EmAtack that she forgot her purse."

Disgusted by what she was seeing, Emily shared a screenshot of the now-deleted tweet to her Instagram Story and hit back. She wrote: "Oh good so this photo is now on the actual Fake Taxi Twitter and website.

"Excellent, No really that’s great. Trying to have a wholesome Sunday and I’m being bombarded with perverts asking if I’d like to accidentally take a wrong turn into the woods."

She then ended her message by sharply hitting back: "Go iron your kids school uniforms you p***ks."

Emily, who played Charlotte Hinchcliffe in E4 comedy The Inbetweeners, has previously opened up about the comments she received on social media. "I've received countless levels of online abuse but increasingly, it has become very sexualised," she told The Sun.

"I receive hundreds of sexually motivated messages – from rape threats, to men telling me exactly what they’re going to do to me in the most brutal and misogynistic ways."

The comedian, who has her own ITV2 show, also told Grazia magazine, that she noticed a shift after she appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here as she saw a "huge increase in sexually explicit messages" she had been sent. She helped the publication launch the #EndCyberflashing campaign last year as they made a bid to make unwanted sexually explicit abuse a crime.

Also speaking in a podcast earlier this year, Emily said: "If someone sends me a sexually explicit message, I’m like, ‘Why have they said that to me?’ It makes you question who you are and why you’re single. It can drive you crazy."
