Emily Atack managed to overcome her fears in the Australian jungle in this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! to win the runner-up spot, and she's lost none of her fighting spirit now that she's out.

The Inbetweeners actress Emily revealed that she's also had to deal with some unpleasant creatures back on the outside, as a stranger tried to body-shame her while she was eating a burger.

"Some bloke just said to me in a restaurant whilst I was eating my dinner.. 'No, stop. Starvation suits you.' What in the....!? I would throw my burg at you but that would be a massive waste love," Emily wrote on Twitter.

Her followers were clearly none too impressed, with one saying "Throw the whole man away" and another adding "Atack Emily. No holding back."

Emily received praise during her appearance on the reality show, including from the Loose Women panellists, for representing "normal women" who aren't afraid to discuss their insecurities.

"She was always bouncing around and totally carefree," Andrea McLean said. "She was wonderful."

Coleen Nolan added that her "heart broke" when Emily cried over accepting her appearance without being covered in make-up or fake tan.

Meanwhile Emily's mum Kate might well be trying to set her daughter up with Jamie Redknapp, the son of Emily's campmate – and this year's King of the Jungle – Harry.

She recently revealed that she'd be happy to invite Jamie over for Christmas dinner, so long as he pays his way.

"If [Jamie] bungs me £20," Kate joked. "If he bungs me a monkey, I'll be even more pleased! Listen, I don't know! We love you, the Redknapps, wherever you are."
