Emily Atack rang into Radio Lancashire this morning to talk live on air to her Uncle Ted Robbins, she said she is loving the competiton and is trying her hardest and thinks the Judges don't think she is taking it seriously and is only there for a laugh but she would be gutted to be voted off. Although Emma is a bit hard on her during the show she is lovely to her behind the scenes.

When asked how everyone gets on she said Keiron Richardson has become her best bud and Mikey is lovely and calms her down before the live show, on asked how she gets on with her former cousin, she didn't elaborate to much but said there was no problem and she gets on fine with her.

She is in talks about doing the tour but has to find out if her workload with allow her to do it as she may be filming the 3rd series of the Inbetweeners.

Thanks for posting this. I think she's right about the judges, of course she's having a laugh, but she's working hard according to Fred. I hope she nails it on Sunday.

Who is her cousin and how can one have a former cousin.

A cousin is a cousin.

God I hope she's not on the tour

Her Mum is Paul McCartney's cousin.

They were referring to Heather Mills, it was said very tongue in cheek by Emily's Uncle!

So Paul is a second cousin which made Heather a second cousin by marriage - hence the ex.
