EMILY Atack could be free to star in the new Inbetweeners film after ITV ditched a second series of her game show.
The actress, who played Charlotte Hinchcliffe in the Channel 4 coming-of-age sitcom, co-hosted “reality quiz” Nobody’s Fool with Danny Dyer.

But ITV said there are “no immediate plans” for a second run of the prime-time show, which launched in May.
Netflix announced a third Inbetweeners movie this week with a trailer featuring original actors Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, Blake Harrison and James Buckley — with Emily not yet confirmed to be joining them.
An insider said of her game show’s demise: “It’s disappointing for Emily, but the news will give fans fresh hope she could now take part in filming for the third Inbetweeners movie.
“They’ve been delighted by the fact the original four leads have signed up to resume their roles, but she’s also a hugely important character to devotees.

“Now they’ll be hoping that clearing some of her diary will give her the chance to be a part of what’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting events for comedy fans this year.”
Emily, 36, got hitched to partner Alistair Garner last month.
And she was expected to be rejoining Rivals co-star Danny to film the second series of Nobody’s Fool around now, as the debut series was made in summer 2025.
But while her Disney+ comedy-drama Rivals was a hit, Nobody’s Fool did not have the same impact.

At one point it had an average of 739,000 viewers — despite being aired in a prime-time slot on Saturday nights.
As well as Rivals, Emily, who is mum to two-year-old son Barney, is also set to star in BBC drama Reputation.
The Sun revealed earlier this year that Netflix would be making the Inbetweeners movie.
It has released a preview of lead characters Will, Simon, Jay and Neil inside their famous car, the “Hawaii edition” Fiat Cinquecento, known for being yellow with a mismatching red door.
It was the motor which featured in the original series, running from 2008 to 2010, and was famously driven by Simon when passenger Jay yelled “Bus w***ers!” as they drove past a bus stop.
The series was followed by two films in 2011 and 2014.
ITV said: “There are no immediate plans for another series of Nobody’s Fool.”
