Emily Atack Talks About Her Health

Emily Atack is tired of defending herself. She became famous after playing a schoolgirl in The Inbetweeners. She has been on TV a lot since then, including in Rivals and Nobody’s Fool.
Emily will not discuss her weight after years of mean comments online.
At the end of 2025, Emily posted pictures on Instagram that showed she had lost weight. Many people commented on these photos.
Emily said, 'I was bullied for being big when I was pregnant, and now I am bullied for losing weight.' She also said her body holds both happy and sad memories.
Emily Atack was seen at the Rivals Season Two premiere.
Emily had a very hard pregnancy and health problems after giving birth to her son in 2024.
Emily said, 'I was very sick after my son was born. I had a bad infection and could not leave my house for weeks. It was very bad.'
Emily is asking people to be kind when they talk about women’s bodies. She said, 'Women’s bodies change all the time, and I am tired of defending mine.'
After having her baby, Emily criticized comments about her weight.
Emily said having a baby is freeing. Your body changes a lot, and you see it in a new way.
Emily had a baby boy named Barney in 2024.
When women have babies, people often ask them when they will start exercising again. Emily thinks this is wrong.
Emily said she does not want to go to the gym after having a baby. People expect new mothers to lose weight quickly.
Emily wishes people would congratulate her on being a mother instead of asking about her weight. She is enjoying this time and has actually gained weight since giving birth.
Emily said she hates dieting and loves pasta and wine.
Emily did exercise to get ready for her role in Rivals, but she does not like dieting.
Emily told The Times that she does not go on diets. She only exercises for her mental health or to prepare for a role. She has learned to ignore mean comments about her weight.
