Emily Atack admits to drinking alcohol on a daily basis ‘to get her through’ lockdown

She’s never attempted to hide her love of alcohol, with her social media littered with snaps of her sipping on various beverages.

And, Emily Atack, 30, has said that boozing is ‘in her blood’ as she admitted to drinking alcohol on a daily basis ‘to get her through’ lockdown, while insisting that quaffing quarantinis is a ‘comfort.’ 

The former Inbetweeners actress explained how she’s used her spare time to become an ‘armchair bartender’ by perfecting her cocktail-making skills, and fears she won’t be able to go back to ‘necking cheap white wine’ in her local pubs.

In a self-penned piece for Grazia, Emily said she’s been able to fully indulge her passion for a tipple while self-isolating on her own, enjoying alcohol on a daily basis ‘to get her through.’

She wrote that being from Scouse and Irish dissent meant: ‘the answer to everything was and has always been – ‘Av’ a bevvy.’ So, you know, it’s in my blood and all that.

‘So it’s no surprise that during this lockdown period I’ve very much enjoyed my nightly cold glass of something (cough cough) to get me through. 

‘It might seem our concerns of whether we are perhaps drinking too much have gone out the window, for now.’ 

The I’m A Celeb star revealed that she has turned her kitchen into a cocktail-making station and is waking up ‘guilt-free’ and with lighter hangovers after a night of drinking.

Imparting some advice, Emily instructed readers to: ‘Stick to the spirits for now. Spirits lift your spirit. Wine just makes you whine.’        

Emily’s feature on drinking comes after she recently hit back at fat-shamers once more as she shared a throwback #MeAt20 snap.

The actress posted a snap of herself in 2010 when she was at the height of her fame in The Inbetweeners, with the star sporting blonde locks and a chic LBD. 

Giving an insight into the trolling she faced as a rising star, she wrote: ‘#MeAt20 with my melon head and tiny little body, that was criticised for being too fat even then. 

Ending on an empowering note, she added: ‘You will never please everybody. So have that Easter egg for breakfast and relax.’ 

The star was inundated with compliments from fans with one writing: ‘Lovely then and now’ while another typed: ‘You were beautiful then & are still beautiful now Emily. Us ladies need to stick up for ourselves & each other a lot more.’ 

The tweet comes after Emily lashed out at a follower who warned that she would ‘put on weight’ if she continued with her culinary treats.

The star slammed the commenter and revealed she had lost a stone at the same time. 

The comedian penned: ‘I’ve lost a stone in the last 3 months because I’m cooking like this and eating cleaner. So you are incorrect’. 

Emily has been keeping her fans up to speed and in her latest post she shared the image of the delicious looking steak before revealing her weight loss journey.
