EMILY Atack could miss out on appearing in the third Inbetweeners movie after her ex James Buckley was accused of axing her from the reunion.
Today it was revealed The Inbetweeners stars are already in talks for a revival – most likely a third film – a decade after after the last movie.
Emily starred in the hit TV series as Charlotte Hinchcliffe, the love interest of Will McKenzie [Simon Bird].
But off-screen she had “a couple of snogs” with Jay Cartwright actor James Buckley, who is said to have blocked her from taking part in the 10th anniversary reunion in 2019.
A source at the time told The Sun: “Emily got a call from producers 24 hours before she was due on set.
“They were deeply embarrassed and apologetic. They had to explain that James had asked she be taken off the show.”
The pair had a couple of cheeky snogs back in the day when they were both single. But James allegedly didn’t want it to become a major issue on the reunion set, or with his wife Clair.
“The kissing meant nothing to Emily and has never been an issue for her,” said the source. “She was very taken aback to be told she wasn’t needed, and genuinely gutted.
“She thought everything was good to go, and was looking forward to reuniting with the guys.”
The insider also claimed Emily took offence after finding out James had been making comments about her appearance on I’m a Celebrity.
They added: “Emily heard James had slagged her off about I’m A Celebrity, saying it was tacky and not ‘on brand’ — which she understandably found patronising.”
While the reported feud between James and Emily means she may not be taking part in any new project, Joe Thomas – who played Simon Cooper – revealed he, James, Simon and Neil Sutherland actor Blake Harrison are all on board.
Asked whether conversions for a comeback have started, Joe said: “Yes, it’s happened in various forms. All of us feel it would be nice to do.”
He teased “some of the ideas out there” for a revival included a stag do in Vegas.”
