Emily Atack has hit back at a sick troll who accused her of “attention” seeking after she snapped a picture in a crop top.
The Inbetweeners actress, 33, has hit out at an Instagram follower after they commented on her snap accusing her of inviting “perverted comments”.
The former I'm a Celebrity ...Get Me Out of Here! star uploaded a snap of herself looking stunning in a light pink crop top and jeans.
She pouted at the camera as she showed off her freshly blow-dried locks.
"Big and bouncy. So is the hair. Thank you gang," Emily penned in the caption of the picture.
The actress, best known for her starring role as Charlotte Hinchcliffe in The Inbetweeners, was flooded with compliments over the photo but one vile troll took aim at the telly star.
"And then you wonder why trolls pick you up, why would you say that if you don't like that sort of attention?" they wrote.
Furious, Emily replied to the misogynistic comment: “Even if I put no caption at all, it would still get perverted comments, so it just shows it has nothing to do with me or my choices.
"It is not my fault some men can't control themselves.
"Listen to what you are saying to me. You are saying I am the one who needs to change - change how I speak, change my sense of humour, maybe change how I dress, completely change how I am.
"But the people who send the abuse can carry on as they are? No fault lies with them at all. Just me. The person I have chosen to be.
"That is what you are saying by making those comments. Do you understanding that comments of yours are a huge part of the issue?"
After hitting out at the troll, she shared a screen grab of the comment with fans on her Story, where she added: "I really struggle to understand how some people just don't get it.
"Then I'm slowly realising maybe it takes a deeper layer of intelligence than some people just don't have?"
Emily fronted a documentary earlier this year which saw the Celebrity Juice star confront men who send her unsolicited messages on social media and examine the culture surrounding online harassment.
In the BBC documentary, Emily tries to understand why she, and the women contacting her, have normalised this for so long, and questions why the blame for unwanted male attention is so often put on the victim of the abuse.
