Emily Atack 'wins BRITS' in stunning dress after ditching first gown over 'chunky bum'

Emily Atack was forced into a last-minute outfit change as she attended the BRITs on Tuesday night.

The actress and comedian was left gutted as she couldn't wear her original outfit - a Stella McCartney floral gown - because of her "chunky bum".

She initially had fittings on Sunday, showing off the eye-popping, waist-cinching dress which clung to her curves.

But it wasn't meant to be, as Emily told her followers: "Had a fitting for the Brits and sadly can’t wear this because of my chunky bum but wanted to show it off."

However she instead went for a stunning sparkling midnight sky effect full-length gown on the night.

The shimmering maxi dress looked amazing on former Inbetweeners star Emily.

It featured a delicate twist in the middle of the gown, which added an extra something to her outfit.

She captioned her Instagram image: "The great BRIT-ish bar crawl right," adding: "Where’s @liamgallagher !? #BRITS"

After seeing her outfit change, Emily's fans agreed it was a winning look.

"Emily wins the Brits!" one person penned.

A second joked: "Well your chunky bum looks fine."

"Soooooo pretty! Get the fizz on!" a third complimented.

Earlier this week, fans jaws could be heard dropping as they took to the comments section to marvel at her Stella McCartney dress – and urged her to reconsider.

One impressed fan wrote: "Are you being serious… wear it you look amazing," alongside a string of flame emojis.

While many others declared her outfit: “Stunning”, “beautiful”, and “amazing.”

Emily appeared to have a great time at the BRITs with her crew.

Others who attended the boozy afterparty include rapper Aitch, Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah and reality TV legend Sophie Kasaei.

They were all pictured looking worse for wear as they made their way home after the show.

Last night, there were amazing performances from Ed Sheeran whilst Dave, Liam Gallagher and Little Simz also wowed at the event with their performances. BRITs 2022 Rising Star winner Holly Humberstone also took to the stage.

Comedian Mo Gilligan also made history at the BRITs as the first Black British host.

Maya Jama also hosted the event with him - and she looked stunning in a fiery red two-piece which showed off her eye-popping curves.
