Actress and television personality Emily Atack has set tongues wagging with a series of glamorous holiday photos that highlight her remarkable physical transformation. The 36-year-old star is currently enjoying a sun-drenched getaway in Cape Town, South Africa, with her close friend and makeup artist, Lydia Barnes.
Holiday Snaps Reveal a Slimmer Silhouette
Atack has been sharing glimpses of her luxurious trip on social media, treating followers to a collection of stylish outfits and breathtaking backdrops. In one striking mirror selfie, she is seen wearing a chic black dress with a patterned scarf draped over her shoulders, her blonde hair elegantly tied in a bun. Her makeup, perfectly applied, accentuated her features.
Another photo captured the star casually strolling in a white mini dress, paired with designer Chloe sandals and a monochrome Saint Laurent handbag. The images clearly showcase a noticeably slimmer figure, a change that first became apparent to fans over the recent festive season.
Fan Speculation and Supportive Responses
The star's new look has ignited a flurry of online discussion, with some followers questioning the methods behind her weight loss. Having welcomed her son, Barney, with fiancé Alistair Garner 19 months ago and previously championing body positivity, a segment of fans speculated about the potential use of weight loss injections like Ozempic or Mounjaro.
Comments on social media ranged from sceptical, with one user writing, "And the innovation is called Ozempic, I presume?" to overwhelmingly supportive. Many rushed to praise her appearance, with one fan stating, "She looks lovely either way. She’s very lucky," and another admiring her "newly revealed cheekbones."
According to reports, those close to Atack suggest she intends to remain silent on the speculation, with a friend telling the Daily Mail that "she is acutely aware of what is her business and what is not."
A Long-Standing Battle with Public Scrutiny
This is not the first time Emily Atack's body has been a topic of public conversation. Since rising to fame in 2008 as Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe in The Inbetweeners, she has frequently spoken out about the discomfort of being sexualised and having her figure analysed.
She has consistently defended herself against online trolls while identifying as a size 10-14. Her participation in ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2018 was pivotal, allowing the public to see her authentic personality beyond the 'sex symbol' label.
Before her Cape Town outing, the star humorously announced her travel plans on social media, posting from the business class section of her flight to South Africa "for a few laughs with Marks & Spencer." Her latest photos, featuring cropped shirts, denim shorts, and stunning coastal views, continue to document a holiday that celebrates both friendship and a confident new chapter.
