I'm a Celebrity star Emily Atack hits back at body shamer who says 'starvation suits you'
Emily came second in I'm a Celebrity
Emily Atack recently shared a body positive post on Instagram, spreading the message of self love and confidence. But despite her contentment with her body, the I'm A Celebrity star was met with body shaming abuse when she ate at a restaurant last night (Saturday 15th December).
The actress revealed the horrifying experience on Twitter, writing, 'Some bloke just said to me in a restaurant whilst I was eating my dinner.. "No, stop. Starvation suits you." What in the....!?'
Emily then hit back, 'I would throw my burg at you but that would be a massive waste love.' sic
Fans were just as horrified as Emily and messages of support quickly flooded in. 'Order another one and throw it at him 😂 what a horrible person,' one fan wrote. Another added, 'That’s disgusting! Can’t believe some people actually say things like that :('.
It comes just days after the former Inbetweeners star shared a positive message about her body on Instagram, which was met with praise from her fans.
'Morning mud crabs,' she started.
'Just catching up on everything. I am back in London! Can’t believe the amount of articles & comments about my bod. Some good, some bad.
'I will never EVER use a Slimming App ever again. We are all different shapes & sizes. We are all unique. Some have rock hard abs, some have a bit of Jam Roly-poly, it’s all ok!!!'
Great message Emily!
Emily came second to footballing legend Harry Redknapp in the show's finale on Sunday (9th December), with her close friend John Barrowman MBE coming third.

His hilarious joke about being a football manager
Oh Harry, you joker!
When he rapped with Fleur East and Malique Thompson-Dwyer
After a brief discussion about grinding, Harry, Fleur and Malique made up a rap after asking which car Harry drives - and the results were BRILLIANT.
When he was SUPER blunt about Malique's departure
Obviously, he wasn't being mean about Malique - he just meant that they'd most likely be seeing each other in a matter of days!
When he spoke about the time he ran Sandra over
Harry unfortunately wasn't being super observant two years ago, and told his campmates, "I used to think I was a good driver but I had a nightmare and ran over my wife one day. She got out the car and I thought she'd crossed the road and I pulled forward and she fell into the road and a bus stopped literally yards away and the most amazing part of the story probably, my grand-daughter is sitting on top of the bus and sees all of this. Unreal."
When the campmates got split into teams
His competitive nature came out when they got split into teams, and he became one of the Roos.
When Noel had to hold a yabby in his mouth
During the Fall of Emperor Noel Bushtucker trial, Harry and Noel had to take it in turns to hold creatures in their mouths - and when Noel held a yabby in his mouth, Harry couldn't control himself, and yelled, "YABBA DABBA DOOOO."
When he had some words of comfort for Fleur East
Before Fleur took on the Gore Seasons Pizza Bushtucker trial, Harry had his very own unique way of comforting her.
When he had some thoughts about Fleur's music
In the Jungle Arms, the campmates took part in a little karaoke, when Fleur's song 'Sax' came on and they all tried to learn her dance routine. Harry wasn't convinced.
