Emily Atack's good looks were her 'superpower'
TV star Emily Atack admits that she's "been through it" in the entertainment industry.
Emily Atack's good looks were her "superpower" during her younger years.
The 36-year-old actress was perceived as sexy long before she played Charlotte Hinchcliffe in The Inbetweeners, but she admits that the perception also "scared" her.
Speaking to Grazia magazine, Emily shared: "I didn’t look like all the girls in my class; I was tall, I had boobs, I had long blonde hair, I wore makeup. It was my superpower, but also something that scared me.
"It was very confusing. But as I got older, I leant into it."
Emily insists that her success came principally through sheer hard work. However, she's also conscious that her appearance has helped to open some doors for her in the entertainment industry.
The actress - who has Barney, 23 months, with fiance Dr Alistair Garner - explained: "I’ve done so many things; I’ve done 13 movies. I’ve worked on some incredible sets and really difficult ones.
"Where I was a teenager, I learned to accept that on certain sets things were going to happen – whether it was touching me, whispering things in my ear between takes when nobody was listening, or texting me outside of working hours with inappropriate things. I’ve been through it."
Meanwhile, Emily previously revealed that she once had a three-way romance with a married couple.
The actress revealed that the unusual dynamic came about after she hooked-up with a man she met in a pub.
She shared: "After a bit of flirting and texting, he announces that he’s married but it’s OK because he and his wife have an open relationship and she wants to meet me.
"Now to some people that would be a red flag but I’m like a bull - red flags drive me wild."
Despite enjoying the steamy romance, Emily felt very uncomfortable when she realised they were both falling in love with her.
The Celebrity Juice star said: "It was all fun ... for a bit until they both started falling in love with me.
"I sat them down and said, ‘Guys, you have some issues you need to work out and s******* me is not the answer. I think you just need to talk to each other.'"
