I'm A Celebrity star became famous for her 'curvy' figure but spent years trying to slim it down online
EMILY Atack has finally embraced her "really saggy" boobs and size 10/12 figure.
The road to self-acceptance has been long for the 29-year-old Inbetweeners star who became famous for her "curvy" figure and then spent years trying to slim herself down with photo editing apps.
Emily admits that she became so "addicted" to slimming apps that she thought unedited photos of herself looked "disgusting".
She exclusively tells The Sun Online: "I became so addicted to it and thought, 'Oh I'll just nip that bit in, and I just looked like a smudge.
"It was so obvious when I was slimming myself down, you look at the background and all the walls are completely dented where I’ve slimmed my hip in."
And Emily admits it's "unhealthy" to have such an unrealistic image of yourself.
"When you see an unedited photo of what you look like you’re like, 'Oh my god I hate it, it’s disgusting."
After going "cold turkey" and only using filters on Instagram instead of editing apps, Emily feels "much better".
She said: "Now if I see a photo from an unflattering angle, I just get over it."
The buxom star - who shot to fame as Charlotte 'big jugs' Hinchcliffe on The Inbetweeners - admits she has always struggled with how her boobs look on camera.
"I've always hated my boobs, because they’re big, but they're really low down and really saggy," she said.
Emily admits people make nasty comments but her ex-boyfriends have always enjoyed them.
"I’ve never had any complaints from the blokes, put it that way!" she laughed.
"My boobs are my boobs! I am what I am."
After beating her insecurities, Emily is now "definitely dating" again but concentrating on work as she launches her new range with In The Style - who recently pledged to stop retouching all imagery.
"I’m enjoying dating, it’s very fun," she said.
"I’ve got some very lovely people in my life that I hang out with, god that makes me sound like I’m dating loads of people, I’m not doing that.
"For once in my life I’m not going to allow men to cloud my brain, because I’ve spent my life letting blokes cloud my brain and maybe that’s why up until now things haven’t really got moving.
"But yeah my full focus is work, if I have a bit of time at weekends, you know I might, have a cheeky little date."
Emily has teamed up with In The Style to launch a new inclusive range of clothing with 50 pieces available in all sizes from 6-24.
"I wanted to create a range that was suited to all shapes and all sizes," she said.
"Everyone has the right to feel confident and sexy in clothes, not just feel like they're just covering up. You should wear the clothes you want to wear."
