EMILY Atack has revealed she’s shared a huge family secret on her hilarious new sketch show that mortified her parents.
The comedian and TV star, 30, revealed her mum desperately tried to stop her dad from hearing the moment when they watched the yet to be aired show.
Talking to the Mirror, Emily said it was a weight off her shoulders performing the sketch.
She said: “I’m sick of my brother threatening to tell everyone.
“He’s had this reign of terror on me for years, so I thought ‘right, I’m getting this out in the open’.
“No parent on Earth should have to listen to it. I thought, sod it, I’ve got so much power up here and I’m going to milk it. There were a lot of open mouths and shocked faces.”
The ITV2 series is going down a storm with viewers as well as those who have been parodied.
Killing Eve fans couldn’t get enough of Emily poking fun at iconic assassin Villanelle.
Jodie Comer’s character is famed for her quirky sense of humour, love of fashion and of course, her penchant for murder.
Imagining how Villanelle would run a fashion channel on YouTube, Emily donned a voluminous pink dress – a nod to one of the Russian’s most iconic outfits.
“People always ask me what to wear on first dates and I tell them I always dress to kill – obvious,” she began, with an eerily accurate accent.

“Always wear red, and when you’re on your way back from your day job they won’t see blood stains on your clothes – clever huh?” she went on.
“Accessorize with belt to accentuate the waist. Belt also doubles as a weapon… anything can be used as a weapon if you use your imagination.”
She continued: “Finally, never wear your coat inside, otherwise you won’t feel the benefit when you go outside.
“My mother told me that. She also told me how to skin rabbit and make blade with spoon.”
Ending the skit, she signed off: “Click here to subscribe. Click here if you’d like me to kill a member of your family. And remember, nothing looks as good as dead feels.”
The Emily Atack shows airs Wednesdays on ITV2 at 10pm.
Killing Eve seasons 1-3 are available to stream on BBC iPlayer now.
