I'm a Celebrity's Emily Atack has revealed that she gets "fat-shamed a lot".

It comes after Emily hit back at trolls for body-shaming her Brit Awards outfit.

Speaking to OK! magazine, The Inbetweeners star has now elaborated: "People were saying the dress was unflattering, but I really liked it.

"Sometimes you have to tell people to f**k off. I get fat-shamed a lot, but I don’t give a shit," she added.

"I’d be more upset about comments on my personality. But it’s other young girls looking at those comments. I’m not fat, so they might think, well if she’s fat, then what am I?"

She also discussed how her life has changed since her time on I'm a Celeb, saying: "I look at myself and say: 'I want that life,' but it is my life!

"After the jungle, I thought it would be a whirlwind for a few weeks and then die down, but it’s just getting busier."

Elsewhere, ever since Fearne Cotton revealed she was leaving Celebrity Juice after a 10-year stint, fans have been lobbying for Atack to replace her as team captain.

However, the role instead went to Take Me Out host Paddy McGuinness – and Emily recently said that he'll be a great addition to the Keith Lemon-fronted show.
