Do you want to do some breathing before we start?

No, I'm all right. I stupidly had three coffees as well. And I had to down a glass of champagne next door. So I'm just a bit... Three coffees and a champagne?

This episode is brought to you by Virgin Red. So Virgin Red means go. That's the whole idea. And I'm telling you that because I am by nature someone who does not go. I'm world class at talking myself out of things. Someone says, let's go away for the weekend. And within 30 seconds, I've already taught myself out of it. So I stay home, thinking about all the things I want to be doing. Which is why Virgin Red is, honestly, brilliant for people like me. Virgin Red offers epic rewards from the brands you love. And you earn Virgin points from doing things you're already doing. Your travel, your shopping, your day-to-day spending. And those points unlock trips away, hotel stays, live music, and experiences that become the story you're telling for years.
Romesh Ranganathan 1:54
Moments that become memories. All you have to do is go. Go somewhere you've been meaning to. Go do something you never knew you could. And once you're there, you remember exactly why you said yes. Even better, your virgin points don't expire, so you can let them build up until something epic comes along. And it will. Ready to dive in? Become a member and start unlocking rewards that make life feel a little more epic. OK, shall we do it? We've got an intro for you now, Emily. I'm really excited for you to hear this.
Unknown 2:25
Oh, my God.

It's Emily Aytar!
Emily Atack 2:56
I've gone all red.
Romesh Ranganathan 2:59
What do you think?
Emily Atack 2:59
When people list all of the things that you've done, you go, oh, thank you for saying all that. It's like, oh, no, yeah, I have done those things.
Romesh Ranganathan 3:07
I've gone all embarrassed. Well, you don't need to. I mean, you did it, didn't you?
Emily Atack 3:10
Yeah.
Romesh Ranganathan 3:10
If people come up to you and talk to you about the in-betweeners, Are you one of the people that will happily talk about that fondly or do you think that's from ages ago? I don't want to talk about it now.
Emily Atack 3:20
Happily talk about it fondly. My name is just Big Tits. So it's just people come up to me and they just go, Big Tits, can I have a photo? Big Tits. Strangers say that to you? Actual strangers. But it could be... I could be in the street. I could be at the garden centre just having a jack of potato in the cafe. It could be anything. And even the lovely post lady I have, she goes, hello, big tits, can you just sign that for me? It's just big tits, big tits. It went from Charlotte Big Jugs to, yeah, and now it's just big tits.
Romesh Ranganathan 3:51
That feels like it's flirting very much with unacceptable, doesn't it?
Emily Atack 3:54
Oh, yeah, totally. But it's, you know, I shout from the rooftops how against all of this I am.

How does Emily Atack handle unwanted attention and comments from strangers?

Emily Atack 4:00
But it's just people genuinely don't even, they don't even mean it in that way.
