Emily Atack returned to social media after taking a break following a "hell of a year".

The Inbetweeners star took to her Instagram account to say she would be "taking time away" from the platform over the Christmas period. However, Emily couldn't help but make a return to the platform after just 48 hours away. The comedian and actress took to her account to share an adorable photo of her dog tucked up in bed.

She made a comeback to her Instagram Stories to share two snaps of her dog snuggled in white bedding. Emily wrote: "Someone's out of office is on." Earlier in the week the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star celebrated her 34th birthday. Addressing her 1.9m followers, she shared a post to her Instagram Story of her sticking her tongue out, wearing a birthday tiara.

Sweeping her blonde hair back in a sleek bun, she thanked people for their birthday wishes and wrote: "Thanks for the birthday love yesterday everybody. I've been quiet on here recently and focusing on actual real life, working hard and having some time away from social after a helluva year. But I'll be back properly soon. Hope you are all living your best hungover lives and getting ready for the family rows and deflated wobbly blow up beds."

Emily had been posting updates on her Instagram Story, but her last grid post was in October, showing her holiday in Sicily. She has been open about the impact of social media before and how she has suffered from trolling. The 34-year-old also made a BBC documentary looking at unsolicited harassment from men online.

She recently hit back at a cruel troll who branded her attention seeking after she shared a photo of herself getting her hair done. Emily showed off her blow-dry, and wrote: "Big and bouncy. So is the hair. Thank you gang." The Celebrity Juice star was flooded with gushing comments however one vile troll said: "And then you wonder why trolls pick you up, why would you say that if you don't like that sort of attention?"

Emily hit back at the comment, as she replied: "Even if I put no caption at all, it would still get perverted comments, so it just shows it has nothing to do with me or my choices. It is not my fault some men can't control themselves. Listen to what you are saying to me. You are saying I am the one who needs to change - change how I speak, change my sense of humour, maybe change how I dress, completely change how I am.

"But the people who send the abuse can carry on as they are? No fault lies with them at all. Just me. The person I have chosen to be. That is what you are saying by making those comments. Do you understanding that comments of yours are a huge part of the issue?" She later took to her Instagram Story where she added: "I really struggle to understand how some people just don't get it. Then I'm slowly realising maybe it takes a deeper layer of intelligence than some people just don't have?"
