Emily Atack's fury after being 'bombarded' with lewd messages as porn site shares snap

Angry Emily Atack has hit out at 'perverts' sending her filthy messages after a snap of her in a taxi was shared by a porn website's Twitter account.

It is the latest grubby move to get under the TV star's skin after previously opening up about being sexually harassed by strangers online.

A photo of the star was was uploaded to the notorious FakeTaxi twitter page.

Alongside the snap, someone had written in a social media post: "Looks like Charlotte from The Inbetweeners has had quite a dramatic career change."

The account is said to reference men having sex with women in the back of a taxi and she got plenty of unwanted messages after the meme went viral.

But she was far from pleased, sharing a grab of the upload.

She wrote on Instagram: "Oh good so this photo is now on the actual Fake Taxi Twitter and website.

"Excellent, No really that's great. Trying to have a wholesome Sunday and I'm being bombarded with perverts asking if I'd like to accidentally take a wrong turn into the woods.

"Go iron your kids school uniforms you p***ks."

Emily earlier appeared to get the reference and shared the post on Instagram, saying: "Ffs. Here we go again."

Another social media user tried to clarify the post, writing: "For those who are confused, FakeTaxi is a porno site where the guy messes up women in the back of a taxi."

It comes after the star joined other celebrities backing laws to jail internet trolls.

Emily decided to speak out, saying she was regularly bombarded with lewd messages, pictures and even explicit videos from people on Instagram.

She explains in Grazia : "My Instagram DM section has now become a realm of sexually abusive comments, pictures, videos (yes- videos!) that I have absolutely no control over.

"I’ve tried blocking people, they create new accounts, and blocking one person doesn’t stop 27 new reprobates from joining the d*** pic queue.

"I hate to admit it, but the awful thing about it is that it has started to make me question myself and the way I speak, act and behave," she added.

The fed up TV star that while she often laughs about the rude messages with her pals, she knows there will be others who are crippled with anxiety over sexually charged messages lurking in their inbox.
