Emily Atack says she books famous ‘hot men’ for Celebrity Juice

Peter Andre was keen to see Emily Atack as his girlfriend in a movie, claims Keith Lemon.

The Celebrity Juice host says his pal Peter named Emily as the actress he wanted to play as his girlfriend in a movie he’s starring in, but that he mispronounced her name in an epic mistake.

Keith was telling the story as former Inbetweeners star Emily, 32, explained how to say her last name during an appearance on Chris Moyles’ Radio X show.

She said it’s pronounced “A-tack” rather than “attack,” and joked that she “gets a sigh of relief” when someone gets it right.

Keith – played by comic Leigh Francis – jumped in to tell his story: “Can I just say something?

“Do you know that Peter Andre is doing a film and he wanted you to play his girlfriend? I said, ‘I bet you do.’

“He said, ‘But you know Emily ‘Attack’ better than I do.’

“‘That’s not her name to begin with, so if you want to call her, that’s not…’ but he’s a nice guy, isn’t he?”

Mysterious Girl singer Peter has had quite the film career lately.

He recently teased a new project but left fans concerned when he shared a photo of himself with a bloody nose and bruised face.

The doting father-of-four took to Instagram to share a picture that suggested he’d taken a beating.

His fans rushed to express their concern, with one commenting, “What on earth have you done?”

Another asked: “What the heck happened here?”

A third concerned fan asked: “Is it broken?”

“It looks painful,” another told him.

However, the 48-year-old’s caption let everyone in on the mystery, as he wrote: “Ouch!! #secretproject #comingsoon @therealfredinwaka”

And a lot of people realized that Peter wasn’t actually hurt.

“People look at his post, it says ‘secret project,'” one suggested.

While another laughed: “I was actually worried about the second at the time”

Fredi Nkwaka is an award-winning film director, producer, actor and motivational speaker.

He also shared a snap of himself posing with his arm around Peter’s shoulders, with the singer free from injuries.
