"I didn't talk to Dad for months and was angry with both of them.
"I pulled away from Mum, started hanging out with lads and smoking and drinking.
"I stopped listening and did what I wanted, and by the time I was 14 I was seeing this much older lad. That's when the school bullying started."
Emily is currently on tour with her stand up show Emily Atack Has Left The Group.
The Inbetweeners and I’m A Celeb star has just wrapped filming the second series of The Emily Atack Show.
