Emily Atack claims her party trick is ‘worse than a one night stand’ as she recalls the ’embarrassing’ and ‘horrendous’ drunken night out

Emily Atack has claimed her party trick is so ‘terrible’ she thinks it’s ‘worse than a one night stand’.

The Inbetweeners star, 34, said her biggest embarrassment is drunkenly singing songs on a night out, which leaves her feeling seriously ’embarrassed’ the next morning.

Speaking of Jamie Laing‘s Great Company podcastEmily said she even has to ban friends from using their phones in case they film her singing.

Although she added that she is a good singer, Emily said she always regrets singing tunes when she had too much to drink.

She said: ‘I had a dinner party recently and we all ended up singing around the piano.

‘And it’s one of those things: I always end up singing at full volume. I like singing. I’m a good singer. It’s a little party trick of mine.

“But the next day, after I was singing around the piano a little bit, and I was angry, the shame, I might as well have woken up and had a one night stand. That’s how I feel.

‘I feel so ashamed. And the moment I really go for it, I know I’m going to feel horrible about it the next day.’

She added: “I sing everything, it’s the Celines, it’s Whitney.

“When I’m always angry, I always tell everyone, ‘put the phones away,’ because I know it will sound really stupid on the phone.”

She added: ‘I said to Al, my partner – I looked at him the other day when I woke up – “Oh my God, oh no, oh no”.

“He said, ‘What happened?’

‘I said, “I was singing last night, weren’t I?”

During the podcast, Emily also opened up about her “awkward” sexual experiences, reflecting on drunken encounters that she considers rape.

She addressed the topic of consent when she revealed that she is leading a campaign for ‘affirmative consent’, which aims to change the law so that ‘the two parties involved in the sexual act must confirm that they are consenting want to continue. ‘.

Emily explained that she could count on one hand the times she enjoyed sex and that there were many times when she couldn’t remember sleeping with someone.

She explained that she had been thinking about past encounters that she now views in a different light because women are conditioned to “suppress” their feelings about sex and believe that having sex while too drunk to consent is ‘normal’.

Emily shared, “My situations were just awkward – yes, literally. To be honest, I can probably only count on one hand where I’ve actually enjoyed sex.

“Growing up, I’m sorry, as a teenager it was terrible. There were no barriers, there were no boundaries. Boys didn’t know how to deal with girls, girls didn’t know how to deal with such situations. It was a mess.’

Emily continued, “I went through life thinking that if you wake up after a night out and something has happened but you don’t really remember it, you just have to suck it up and get on with it.

“It’s like no one will do that… it’s just not worth going down that route of ‘but I can’t remember, I can’t remember any of that.’

‘Yes, terrible, I’ve woken up so many times and thought: ‘I definitely didn’t say yes to that’.’

The actress, who stars in the new Disney+ adaptation of Dame Jilly Cooper’s Rivals, added that men can ‘get away’ with sex with drunk women.

When asked if any of her sexual experiences made her feel ashamed, upset or angry, she said: ‘Yes, that’s true, but it’s been so repressed for so long, we’ve been taught for so long that that was somewhat normal. way to have sex – that you wake up after a party and say, “Ooh, Jesus Christ, I don’t actually remember that.” And then you just kind of move on.

‘We were taught that that was normal.

‘The problem now is, as we all talk more, people are coming out and saying, “Oh yeah, I was raped then.” And it’s very hard to have to admit it to you.

“But also the reason why it’s hard for the men is that men get angry because they’re scared, because so many men listen to this stuff and say, ‘I’ve done that before.’

‘There’ll be men getting their kids’ uniforms ready for school and they’ll listen to something like that and stop and say, “Oh f**k, I’ve done that before.”

“And they probably regret it and feel really terrible about it, but to now hear that that was wrong, and that that is now actually considered rape, that’s hard for people to swallow because they know that somewhere have done in their lives. A lot of people live there, a lot of people.

“That’s why it’s so hard to go there.”

Emily has led a CPB London campaign calling for a change to the laws on rape and sexual assault

The petition, which reached 10,000 signatures in five days, reads: ‘Current rape and sexual assault laws allow ‘implied consent’ and take into account the perpetrator’s ‘reasonable beliefs’.

“An affirmative consent model addresses these points by requiring explicit agreement at every stage of the interaction, thereby preventing misunderstandings. The Sexual Offenses Act has existed for twenty years.

“We believe that the consent model needs to be re-evaluated in light of international changes and to better protect survivors in court, shifting the focus from the absence of ‘no’ to the presence of ‘yes’.”
