I'm a Celebrity's Emily Atack has said that doing the ITV reality show was "the best" decision of her life.
Speaking to The Sun, she explained: "I’ve made some stupid decisions both in work and in my personal life. But this was the best, hands down. It flipped everything on its head, I was doing something wild and showing people who I am as a person."
Before finishing as runner-up in the jungle, however, Atack said that her career had started to stagnate following the huge success of The Inbetweeners.
"I’d reached a point in my life where everything came to a crossroads and I was having a bit of a quarter-life crisis. I was just very lost. I didn’t really know what I wanted from life and everything was at a standstill.
"I got really bored of sitting around waiting for work or for the next movie to come along that only 100 people would see. I got bored of being skint, of twiddling my thumbs, wondering how to take my life to the next stage. I was frustrated."
Atack confessed that she had been typecast by her role in The Inbetweeners, adding: "But I can’t look at that negatively or say I wish it hadn’t been so successful.

"If I’m typecast because the show was wonderful and everyone loved it, then so be it. It means you have to graft slightly harder and do things your own way, which is healthy and good."
