Big heart, big voice, big laugh.
Emily Atack was raised in Bedfordshire, the daughter of an actress and a musician, and also, somewhat surprisingly, the first cousin twice removed of Sir Paul McCartney.
She grew up surrounded by people who made their living in show business.
So when she left school at 16, she was confident, she later said, that she wouldn't need a GCSE for what she wanted to do.
This, it turned out, was acting.
And she was proved right, landing her first audition playing a footballer's girlfriend in the TV show Blue Murder.
But it was as Charlotte Hinchcliffe in the smash hit comedy The Inbetweeners that she became famous.
Aitak was 17 when she got the part, which for many years would come to define her, for good and for bad.
She found herself on the cover of magazines and ushered into the VIP areas of nightclubs, but also faced an overwhelming level of sexual harassment.
Experiences later recounted in her BBC documentary, Asking For It.
In 2018, she was the runner up in I'm a Celebrity and started focusing on comedy with an ITV sketch show and stand up tour.
It was a pivotal moment, both professionally and personally.
In 2022, she started dating a childhood friend, the nuclear physicist Alistair Garner.
The couple are now engaged with a baby boy who is almost two.
