Emily Atack has scrapped her ITV2 comedy show after three series to focus on raunchy Disney+ project

Emily Attack has scrapped her own ITV2 comedy show after three series, MailOnline can reveal.

The 33-year-old former In Betweeners star launched The Emily Attack Show in November 2020, nearly two years after finishing as a runner-up on I’m a Celeb Get Me Out of Here!, and it proved to be a hit with young audiences. .

But the actress has decided to sideline the series in favor of her starring role in the raunchy new Disney+ series Rivals, which is an adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s steamy 1988 novel.

A TV source told MailOnline: “The show means a lot to Emily, but she felt the time was right to move on, there are no plans to do another one.”

“It takes a lot of work and dedication and other commitments this year meant it would be hard to give it my all in another series.

“She’ll always be proud of that, as not many female stars have been able to do their own stand-up comedy show.”

The Emily Attack Show combines stand-up with various sketches, including impressions from stars like Holly Willoughby and Gemma Collins.

His stand-up routines regularly contained anecdotes from his dating and love life, including a time when he claimed to be in a three-way relationship with a married couple.

Despite shelving plans to do a fourth series this year, Emily hasn’t ruled out bringing the show back in the future.

A spokesperson for Emily said: “The Emily Attack show has been a great success so far, and Emily is discussing future opportunities on the series, but with Emily filming at full throttle for her new Disney+ show, she hasn’t had a time to sit down and write new material or commit to filming dates.

“He hopes to have time to revisit The Emily Attack show in 2024.”

An ITV source added: “While there are no plans for a new series in 2023, it was a great show and could appear in upcoming timeslots in the future.”

Emily’s gripping new drama, Rivals, features an all-star cast, including former Doctor Who David Tennant, former EastEnders star Danny Dyer, Poldark hunk Aidan Turner and Sex Education’s Bella Maclean.

The I’m A Celeb star plays Sarah Stratton, the new wife of Deputy Prime Minister Paul Stratton, played by W1A actor Rufus Jones, who is ambitious and not afraid to use his looks to rise to the top.

Emily will reportedly reprise the famous scene from the book in which her character strips naked and plays nude tennis with her lover.

The comedian broke down in tears as she recalled the number of unwanted sexual messages and photos she receives, explaining that not a day goes by that she is not sent explicit photos of male genitalia.

Speaking in the documentary, he said: ‘It’s the ultimate disrespect. It’s the best thing to go, I think you’re easy to reach and you’re ready for it.’

The star explained that the situation took a turn for the worse for her during lockdown, then she visited schoolgirls and teenagers to get to the bottom of why society has learned to accept this behaviour.
