British actor Emily Atack believes she has been 'banned' from ever presenting "This Morning" again following a 'traumatic' live on-air lamb encounter. The Inbetweeners, Celebrity Juice, and I'm a Celebrity star took over hosting ITV's morning program with John Barrowman in 2019.

The 32-year-old actor, who finished second on ‘I'm A Celebrity... I Need to Get Out of Here!’ was invited to co-host a program on lambing with John Barrowman. She now describes the encounter as "traumatic" as she dropped a four-week-old lamb, exclaiming, 'I can't believe I just dropped a lamb on national television'!

Emily and John, stand-ins for Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, interviewed a farmer and his flock about lambing season. On Jack Whitehall's Safe Space podcast, she revealed that "Live TV is traumatic. I had just come out of the jungle and me and John Barrowman hosted 'This Morning', we replaced Holly and Phil for a week”.
