The 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' star shed half a stone during her time on the Australian jungle-based show after living on a diet of mainly rice and beans, and she was surprised to be heckled in a restaurant afterwards while treating herself to a nice meal.

She wrote on Twitter: "Some bloke said to me in a restaurant whilst I was eating my dinner, 'No, stop. Starvation suits you.' What in the ....

"I would throw my burg at you but that would be a massive waste, love. (sic)"

The 'Inbetweeners' star - who plays Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe in the sitcom - wants people to like her for her "personality and brain" rather than her looks.

She said: "My whole life I've been judged for how I look.

"Which is part and parcel of being in the public eye, playing sexy roles and posing for lad's mags, but I want people to like me for my personality and brain.

"It's not all about having the perfect body, perfect hair, perfect smile."

During her time in the jungle, Emily made no secret of her desire to date the show's winner Harry Redknapp's son Jamie Redknapp, but now admits she feels "so sorry for him" after he was inundated with questions about whether they will go out following her jungle exit.

She added to OK! magazine: "Oh poor Jamie, I feel so sorry for him being dragged into this.

"I'm just focusing myself, my work, my friends. I'm enjoying my life as a single woman."
