Emily Atack put on a leggy display in a pink and white striped robe as she shared behind-the-scenes snaps on set of Rivals, in an Instagram post on Thursday.
The actress and comedian, 35, was praised for her racy performance in the raucous Disney+ series Rivals, stripping off for nude tennis scenes and lingerie-clad romps in the new ‘bonkbuster’.
Emily posed up a storm in the snaps as she waited patiently before being called onto set for her racy naked scene.
Emily, who plays the ‘extremely promiscuous’ wife of the Deputy Prime Minister, Sarah Stratton, described stripping naked in scenes ‘so liberating’.
All within the first 25 minutes of the first episode, viewers are treated to a raunchy sex montage – which sees Emily strip down to black lingerie.
The actress then strips naked to play tennis with Alex Hassell’s character Rupert Campbell Black, who is also starkers.

She previously stressed that she was unbothered by the prospect of baring all, explaining on The Chris Myles Show on Radio X that she was more intimidated by the thought of playing tennis.
‘It was so funny, because when they sent me the script, they said, “You know, you’re going to have to play tennis naked.” That was one of the things they said. And I said, “Disney, there is no way on Earth you’re going to get me to play tennis!”
‘That’s genuinely what I was worried about. I was like, “No way!” But yeah. So, once I got past all that bit, read the script, I was like, “Yeah, this is made for me, this role.” Those roles come along very rarely, and it just spoke to me.’
Emily has known her boyfriend Alistair Garner for almost three decades because her mother is the sister of Alistair’s stepmother Jane Garner.
They were introduced after Emily’s aunt started dating Alistair’s father Stephen Garner in the early nighties before they got married in 1994.
She welcomed son Barney with Alistair in June.
In November, the Rivals actress revealed she and Alistair discovered the pregnancy news during their first ever holiday together in Italy last year and described it as the ‘most perfect day’ of her life.

Emily rarely comments on her private life but recalled how on their last day in Palmero the lovebirds were discussing future plans for a family, when she realised she had in fact missed her period.
She told The Times: ‘[Alistair] joked, “Let’s buy a pregnancy test then”’ We did and I was pregnant. It was the happiest, most perfect day of my life. Not long afterwards, he packed all his stuff in a van in Manchester where he lived and arrived at my house’.
Emily explained she and Alastair soon bought a property together and the day after they finished unpacking, their son was born.
She went on to explain how the hunky scientist is so proud of her career, something she has never experienced in a relationship, and admitted he eagerly cuts out articles about her from newspapers and magazines to keep.
Gushing over Alistair, Emily also teased wedding plans: ‘I know Al will look after me and Barney. I know he will be the best father and the best husband eventually. I am happier than I ever thought I could be.’
