I'm A Celeb staff 'locked' Emily Atack's hotel fridge to avoid huge booze bill

Emily Atack has confessed that staff on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here had to lock the mini bar before she appeared on the show in 2018.

The Inbetweeners actress, 31, is known for being a bit of a party animal and the show's bosses seemingly didn't want to foot a huge bill.

The star told the What’s Upset You Now? podcast about the moment she found out they were limiting her alcohol supplies.

She said: "I went to reception and I asked 'could you unlock my mini bar', and she went 'we’ve actually been told by production to keep that on there for you'."

She revealed that it had been her intention to pass the isolation period before the show in Australia by enjoying a few beverages.

"I thought ‘this is going to be great'," she said. "I’ve got my hotel, I’m just going to live off the mini bar every day. I went to open it and production had literally put a lock on all of the stuff."

She later found out that such treatment wasn't afforded to other stars of the series.

The actress turned out to be one of the most popular contestants on the series and finished runner-up.

Former footy boss Harry Redknapp was crowned King of the Jungle in the final show off after Emily had outplaced John Barrowman who came in third.

Emily recently showed curious fans glimpses of her new pad as she settles in following her recent breakup from Jude Taylor.

The pair's whirlwind romance was cut short after just five months after they called it a day in August.

She reportedly called quits on the relationship after telling friends she couldn't see a future with the fashion influencer.

It meant that Emily was able to invest more of her time and energy into her big move and the blonde beauty has already worked wonders on her new bachelorette pad.

It's the star's second move in just over a year, but she is hoping to be a lot more settled this time around.

She took to her Instagram stories to reveal the door to her new house as she snapped a photo outside her new London property.

“Another new front door", she captioned the snap with showcased a gorgeous ornate gold knocker on the front.

She went on to share a look inside her flat as she snapped a photo of the piled-up boxes inside her front hallway.
