Emily Atack responds to vile online troll who asked her if she was pregnant

Emily Atack responded in style after being asked if she was pregnant by an online troll.

The Celebrity Juice star, 32, shared a screenshot of the vicious response she got in reference to a photo of her - in which she looked gorgeous.

In the photo Emily stuns wearing a multi-coloured shirt and skirt combo with knee-high brown boots.

However one follower responded to the photo saying: "Expecting a baby?, alongside a whale emoji.

They then sent another message weeks later, which read: "S*** clothes and you're an alcoholic."

Emily clapped back to the comment, simply writing: "Mum?" appearing to suggest her mother actress Kate Robbins would have something to say if she were with child.

The Inbetweeners actress often shares the nasty comments she receives and posted a further example from another disgruntled keyboard warrior.

One Instagram user wrote: "Not in the least bit funny but got nice t**s."

Screen-grabbing the comment, Emily quipped: "Phew! Every cloud.

"Cheers for that Ron!"

The star is among a host of famous faces who are campaigning to jail online trolls.

She told The Sun : "I've lost count of the number of times I've logged on and felt completely winded by what someone has written or sent directly to me."

"I've received countless levels of online abuse but increasingly, it has become very sexualised. I receive hundreds of sexually motivated messages - from rape threats, to men telling me exactly what they're going to do to me in the most brutal and misogynistic ways.

"I launched the #EndCyberflashing campaign alongside Grazia Magazine last year to make unwanted sexually explicit abuse a crime."

Emily said much more needs to be done to prosecute the perpetrators, including tougher penalties and the "threat of prison".

Last year the actress shared her shock with The Mirror over the fact she would receive unwanted, and un-requested, x-rated photos from men of all ages.

She said at the time: "I worked out the other day, before 10am, I'd seen three penises that I hadn't asked to see, three c**k shots that had been sent through.

"If I'd walked out into the street to get a coffee and three men had flashed me on the way, I'd be in pieces, I'd be traumatised, but there is honestly something about when it's online, and I hate to admit this, I've become so used to it, I just kinda go, 'Oh for f***'s sake, ah, god, urgh'.

She continued: "It goes from teenage boys, to middle-aged men, to really old men, old single men that are probably desperately lonely, and older men who are married with children, and they have daughters in their profile pictures.”
