I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Emily Atack may not have been a name known to people who weren't The Inbetweeners fans before the show.
But now, she's popping up everywhere from This Morning to Urban Myths, making us laugh (and, in collaboration with Gary Lineker, making us want to scoff crisps).
Unsurprisingly, Emily credits the show for changing her life for the better and getting herself out of a rut.
Speaking to Digital Spy on the BAFTA TV Awards 2019, she said: "I think sometimes in life you hit a point of feeling like you need to put a rocket up your arse.
"I got to a point where I thought, 'Right, I need to start making some decisions. I need to start taking control of my life again. I'm not a child anymore, as much as I like to think I am. I've got to start being a grown-up a little bit, and start taking responsibility'.
"I just wanted to feel excited about my life again, I went through a really sort of confidence-killing phase of self-doubt. We all know this industry can bring you that at times. I just thought, 'Well, okay. I can sit here feeling sorry for myself, or I can start to make some bold decisions and some changes'.
What to Read Next
"I think sometimes you've got to get angry in order to put the rocket fuel up your bum-bum, and that's what I did. I was frustrated at the industry, I was frustrated at myself, and I just started to... make plans and be more positive."
"With I'm a Celebrity, she continued, "it wouldn't have worked any other year, because I put myself in a mindset where I was able to do something like this, and you've got to be emotionally in the right place for something like that. Any other year it might not have had the same kind of positive effect.
"When you're in a situation like that, you're a 9-year-old child again because you're stripped of everything, stripped of the normal world and the everyday stresses that brings, and it really allows you to find out who you are. Luckily for me, I liked what the jungle brought out in me. It didn't change me, it reminded me of who I was."
The ITV show won the award for best Reality and Constructed Factual show last night, and Ant McPartlin made sure Holly Willoughby got her moment on stage for it.
