Inbetweeners star Emily Atack has now had her second incredibly successful show, starring alongside Danny Dyer and David Tennant in Rivals, but for a generation of Brits she will always be Charlotte Hinchcliffe.
Atack was just 17 years old when she appeared in the iconic Chanel 4 sitcom, playing the older popular girl who Will (Simon Bird) ends up dating to everyone’s shock.
In the years since, Atack has gone on to have her own show, do some stand-up, and even come second on the 2018 edition of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
She has, however, been quite outspoken about the inappropriate behaviour of fans in the years since speaking about how she was sexually harassed on social media in her 2023 documentary Emily Atack: Asking For It?
Atack revealed in the documentary that she was regularly sent sexually inappropriate videos via her Instagram DMs, including masturbation videos and nude images sent to her.
Appearing on a new episode of, Atack, now 36, stated that she is sent ‘thousands of messages a day’, while also speaking out about a nickname she is called in person on a regular basis.
When asked about The Inbetweeners she said she will ‘happily talk about it fondly’, but added: “My name is just Big T*ts. So people come up to me and they just go ‘Big T*ts, can I have a photo, Big T*ts?’
“Actual strangers. I could be in the street. I could be at the garden centre just having a jacket potato in the cafe. It could be anything. And it’s even the lovely post lady I have. She goes ‘Hello Big T*ts. Can you just sign that for me?”
Charlotte Hinchcliffe is given the nickname ‘Big Jugs’ in the Channel 4 show, with Atack explaining that this eventually transitioned to people just calling her ‘Big T*ts’.
Romesh said it was ‘flirting with unacceptable’, to which she replied: “Oh, yeah. Yeah, totally. But I shout from the rooftops how against all of this I am, but people genuinely don’t even mean it in that way. They just they go, ‘Oh, Big T*ts, my mom absolutely loves you.’ I see people like whispering in a restaurant and they go, ‘it’s Emily. Oh, yeah, Big T*ts.’”
She even revealed that when the curtain opened at her first ever stand-up comedy show, someone in the crowd yelled out ‘Big T*ts’ straight away.
Talking about her experience with the documentary about the harassment she gets, Atack blamed the ‘unacceptable’ way people talk to and about her on headlines and media, which portrayed her as ‘promiscuous’.
She said: “How women are portrayed, especially women like me, girls like me. It’s all the headlines are always ‘Emily Atack flaunts her ample assets whilst on a stroll with her mum’. Right? I’m not flaunting anything. I’m just walking down the road.
