Emily Atack offered a glimpse of her family Christmas on Instagram this week, but instead of commenting on the festivities, all anyone seemed worried about was whether or not the Rivals actress is among the growing number of stars using weight-loss jabs.
Posting a carousel of pictures, Emily shared: “Christmas – a small selection of some fave outfits and beautifully busy tables that give me heartburn just looking at them.”

Emily Atack shares festive upload
In one picture, she can be seen wearing a tight white T-shirt and a long, sparkly black skirt. In another, she is seen wearing a pair of skinny jeans. The outfit pics are interspersed with lavish spreads of food and drink, hence mum-of-one Emily’s heartburn.
However, in among the comments noting how gorgeous her Christmas looked were accusations that Emily could be using weight-loss jabs, with some followers claiming she looks noticeably thinner than usual.
‘On the jabs?’
“On the jabs? Looks good tho!” said one. “I think it’s such a shame all these celebs are going so thin very sad and not good role models for young aspiring girls anymore!” a second commented. “Another celeb on the weight-loss jabs,” said a third.
“Before the skinny jabs all these celebs made out they loved being plus size and championed it. Now they can stick a needle in to lose weight they’ve soon changed their tune,” alleged one.
“She was never plus size,” one follower countered. “These comments! Aren’t we over talking about women’s bodies?” another said, slamming the haters.
“All these comments saying she must be on the skinny jabs! Christ let the beautiful woman do what she likes. Nothing wrong with the jabs, if it makes you feel better than do it! I was on them and I’m all for it!” said another.
Another commented on how much running around Emily will be doing looking after 18-month-old son Barney, who she shares with fiancé Alistair. “Also, forgetting to eat regular meals and I used to walk for miles when the weather nice. I was the thinnest I’d been in a long time when returning to work three months after childbirth.”
ED! has contacted Emily’s reps for comment. However, the woman herself has returned to social media since the concerns started, although she didn’t address fan concerns.
‘Always loved a skinny jean’
Earlier today (January 8), Emily reshared a picture from her upload to her Stories. She posted it after people asked where one of her outfits was from.
And it was on that post that she made a confession about her skinny jeans.
She shared that she’s found them in a charity shop and added: “Always loved a skinny jean!”
‘You’re never going to please everybody’
Rivals star Emily has long been an advocate for body positivity, telling Hello after welcoming Barney: “People keep asking me if I’m going to the gym, but I’m not. I’m a mum, I’ve got rolly bits, and I’m healthy, feeling sexier than ever and playing a bombshell in an amazing series.
“In my teens, all I wanted was to be a size eight or 10. Our value is always depending on what size we are, and it just shouldn’t be that way. I’ve always been terrible at diets and I’m terrible at going to the gym. I forced myself to do it more for my mental health.
“I’ve realised that you’re never going to please everybody, so I wish I could say to my 16-year-old self, to just be healthy and happy, and that you can be sexy and beautiful in so many ways.
