Emily Atack says men still call her Charlotte from The Inbetweeners – even while romping in bed.
The actress, who played Charlotte “Big Jugs” Hinchcliffe, said: “I’ve been called Charlotte by three different dates.
“I’ve always forgiven it because they genuinely haven’t meant to do it, and I can see the absolute look of horror on their faces when they realise.
“I’ve laughed it off – although once I was sleeping with someone when they said it, and it was like: ‘Oh for f***’s sake.’
“I still carried on though!”
Her new TV comedy sketch show, The Emily Atack Show, above, starts next week and she expects her frank chat about sex and dating to open a few eyes.

Emily, 30, admitted: “It will be quite alarming for people at first to see a blonde girl with boobs on stage talking about sex, but why not?
“You’ve got the wonderful Fleabags of the world getting away with talking openly about sex because there is an element of posh education to it, but I’m saying we’re allowed to talk about that stuff too.”
Emily described her own humour as “like a filthy, naughty boy scout”.
The new show starts on November 4 at 10pm on ITV2.

Emily played cool girl Charlotte on The Inbetweeners between 2008 and 2010, but didn’t appear in the film adaption of the series.
Speaking on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch earlier this year, the comedienne revealed she felt “type-cast” after the success of the teen series, landing roles similar to that of Charlotte Hinchcliffe.
She mused: “I have been stereotyped, you know.
“It has worked in a positive way for me a lot of the time, I started in The Inbetweeners as the girl-next-door type.”
Emily added: “You are typecast in the industry after such a big hit like that.”
