Emily Attack "cries [herself] to sleep" because she's lonely.
Emily Atack is lonely
The 33-year-old actress has been single since splitting from former 'Big Brother' contestant Liam McGough last year and while there are times she feels "confident and independent", she admitted she struggles with being on her own and finds it quite "miserable".
Speaking on the Soap + Glory podcast 'Soaking Up Life With Emily Atack' said: “People think I fly the flag for all the single ladies, but I’m not afraid to admit being on your own is actually miserable a lot of the time. It’s pretty hard.
“There are times when I go out and I feel confident and sexy on my own and I’m independent.
"But there are times when I cry myself to sleep because it’s lonely and awful, and it’s OK to admit that, I think.”
But the former 'Inbetweeners' star thinks she turns "absolutely pathetic" when she does find love because she puts too much of herself into her relationships.
She said: “This is where I am at the moment — I’m too much of a romantic, it’s actually ruining my life.
“Where I go wrong in life is that I’m known as confident, sexy and all those things, and that’s all great.
“And then the second that I’m in love, I’m absolutely pathetic.
"I go from being confident to being like, ‘Just have everything’, and that’s not on them, that’s all on me.
“That’s a lack of self care and self love. I have mountains and buckets of confidence but no self-esteem.
“It’s a horrible thing to admit but it’s just true, and there is something about a romantic love that drains me of all my self love, it just does.
“I put everything into that person and I’m just a shrivelling little wreck, handing my heart over on a royal, red fluffy cushion.”
