Emily Atack reunites with Inbetweeners co-star as they mull over rom com sequel
Inbetweeners stars Emily Atack and Blake Harrison reunited at a BAFTA do where they teased the possibility of a third film for the beloved comedy.
Emily, 33, played popular girl Charlotte Hinchcliff, who main character Will was besotted with, while Blake, 37, played his dopey but loveable friend Neil.
The actors met again at the Vanity Fair BAFTA pre-party last night, where Emily joked about their characters running off together.
Sharing a photo on Instagram of the pair smiling at the camera, with Emily in a strapless black dress and a feathered neckline, Neil in a blue suit, Emily wrote: Plot twist: "Charlotte ran off with Neil?"
Blake then replied: "The sequel no one knew they wanted," followed by a googly eyes emoji.

The Channel 4 comedy aired between 2008 and 2010, quickly becoming a cult classic.
Two films followed, in 2011 and 2014, where the awkward foursome went on holiday in Majorca, and then to Australia while at university.
Fans have called for a sequel over the years, but the cast have played down the idea.

Blake Harrison played the dim but loveable Neil Sutherland (Dave Benett/Getty Images for O2)In April last year, Simon Bird, who played Will, shut down the possibility of returning to the show, but this time as an embarassing parent himself.
He told the Guardian: "It’s a hard no, I’m afraid. It just wouldn’t be the show people want or remember. Much better to leave it as a happy memory.
He then joked: "Cut to us all doing a third film for Netflix next year … Anything’s possible."
James Buckley, who played foul-mouthed Jay, also ruled out returning.
Speaking to Chris Moyles on Radio X, he said: "No, I don't wanna go near it anymore.
Sadly it's not like likely The Inbetweeners will return (John Wright)"Not because I don't think I would have an amazing time doing it, because I know I would... I love the boys, I love the writers."

"Doing The Inbetweeners was the best job in the world, all we did was muck around all day long and they filmed us doing it, and at the end of the day, we might have had an episode or a TV, you know, or a film or something. It was the best job in the world.
"But it might - you know, as I'm getting older - it's looking like it might be the only thing that I do professionally that is universally loved.
"There's not enough money in the world for me to spoil that."
The cast have gone on to have success with other TV shows, with Simon starring in Friday Night Dinner and Blake recently appearing in Billie Piper's I Hate Suzie.
Joe recently appeared in the TV series Maternal, while James Buckley is known for White Gold.
Emily has forged a successful career as stand-up comedian and presenter, recently presenting a documentary about the vile messages she has received on social media.
