Emily Atack hits back at ‘savage’ trolls who accuse her of looking ‘like a porn star’
EMILY Atack has hit back after trolls joked she looked like a porn star.
Cruel social media users insinuated the 32-year-old appeared to be starring in the FakeTaxi porn series after she posed for a selfie in the back of a cab.
Wearing a green mini dress, she showed off her toned legs and playfully stuck her tongue out.
But a vile Instagram user was quick to lower the tone and shared the same picture of Emily writing: ";#Looks like Charlotte from The Inbetweeeners has had quite a dramatic career change."
She replied: "Ffs. Here we go again."
Someone then clarified, writing: "For those who are confused, FakeTaxi is a porno site where the guy messes up women in the back of a taxi, so this photo is insinuating that Charlotte is in the back of said taxi."

The Celebrity Juice team captain shared her witty response, writing: "Don't think anyone's confused hun."
Another troll added: "I'd rather watch that than her stand-up to be fair."
Brushing off the foolish comments, Emily fired back: "This comment should have more likes. Savage. 😂😂😂😂."
This isn't the first time that Emily has been attacked by viscious trolls.

She has been cruelly asked if she's pregnant and branded an alcoholic in shock messages.
"Expecting a baby?," the troll asked alongside a whale emoji.
They then sent another message weeks later, which read: "S*** clothes and you're an alcoholic."
Despite the nasty digs, Emily responded with humour.
Next to the pregnancy comment she joked: "Mum?" appearing to suggest her mother Kate Robbins is looking forward to her having children.
The former Inbetweeners actress often names and shames trolls who send her abusive messages online.
One recently slammed her sense of humour before making a crude remark about her body.
One Instagram user directly replied to the comment underneath, and wrote: "Not in the least bit funny but got nice t*ts."
Screen-grabbing the remark, Emily then added sarcastically:" "Phew! Every cloud. Cheers for that Ron!"
Actress Emily was recently among the celebrities backing laws to jail internet trolls.
She told The Sun: "I've lost count of the number of times I've logged on and felt completely winded by what someone has written or sent directly to me."
"I've received countless levels of online abuse but increasingly, it has become very sexualised. 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.
"I launched the #EndCyberflashing campaign alongside Grazia Magazine last year to make unwanted sexually explicit abuse a crime.
"So much more needs to be done to stop these vile abusers. They certainly wouldn't get away with saying these sort of things if they saw me on the street.
