Emily Atack posted a stunning new selfie amid reports of a secret romance with Jack Grealish – who is said to be ‘agonising’ over whether to stick with girlfriend Sasha Atwood.
The actress, 31, ignored the drama, however, on Friday as she shared a snap of herself showing off her golden tresses to her followers after getting her hair done.
She donned a classic little black dress which she left unbuttoned to flash her ample cleavage.

She accessorised with a pair of knee high boots and several delicate gold rings in the Instagram Stories post.
The comedienne pouted at her reflection as she took the mirror selfie in the marble bathroom.
The Inbetweeners star appeared untroubled despite receiving a torrent of abuse by social media trolls who branded her ‘desperate’ and accused her of ‘breaking girl code’ over her secret dates with Jack.

Meanwhile Jack, 26, reportedly attempted to play down his friendship with Emily after being issued with an ultimatum by his girlfriend Sasha over their secret dates.
A source claimed to The Sun that Jack was ‘agonising’ and ‘has got some thinking to do’.
The Manchester City star is said to have formed a close friendship Emily over the past six weeks, with Sasha finding out after England’s 5-0 win against Albania on Friday.
A source said: ‘Sasha has been rocked by news of Jack’s secret friendship. She had no idea. Jack has apologised to her for any upset caused, and they were due to meet to discuss their future.

‘Jack is really confused. On the one hand, he’s being advised to stay loyal to his childhood sweetheart for all sorts of reasons — commercial and otherwise.
‘But on the other, he’s intoxicated by Emily’s company. He can’t seem to stay away from her. Plus loads of his club mates have crushes on Emily too — so they’re saying something different.’
The Mail On Sunday revealed last weekend that Emily has grown fond of England’s first £100 million footballer, but thought he was single when she was introduced to him by another England player some weeks ago.

Emily told friends that she had also seen him on the celebrity dating app Raya and presumed he was no longer in a relationship with Sasha.
One told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Jack is besotted with Emily… she really likes him too – otherwise, of course, she wouldn’t have met up with him.’
They continued: ‘She did also think he was single – it is what you expect if you see someone on a site looking for a girlfriend.
‘Emily has really enjoyed his company recently, but she certainly isn’t going to hang around if he stays with his girlfriend.
‘She will happily get on with her life if that’s what he wants to do. It’s up to him now.’
It comes after Amber Gill vehemently hit back at claims she had been secretly dating footballer Jack Grealish as well in an impassioned Instagram statement on Friday.

The former Love Island winner, 24, posted to her Story to say: ‘I’ve never been the ‘other woman’ nor will I ever be!’ – and told how she had received death threats over the claims.
Amber wrote: ‘For absolute clarity an in MY words, I’ve never been the ‘other woman’ nor will I ever be. And I would also never use the degrading term ‘other woman’ either (like we are collectible, trophies for men!)’
She went on to touch on the abuse she has received after the claims, writing: ‘I have received hundreds of abusive DEATH threats.
‘Complete strangers DM-ed me the most vile and intimidating things and worse still they threatened my life! Why??’
Amber’s comments came after The Sun claimed that the footballer has met Amber several times, but she is said to be heartbroken at the thought that he may have been seeing Emily at the same time.
Amber is said to have told a friend: ‘I’d like to get in touch with Emily and find out if there was any crossover. We’ve met up several times and were messaging a lot. I really thought there was something between us.’
The publication reported that Jack charmed Amber on Instagram which lead to several clandestine dates in recent months.
A source said: ‘Amber has been in contact with Jack for a while after they first got in touch online, and since then they’ve met up several times over the past few months at hotels, including one in Leeds.
‘She was clearly quite excited about it, she told her friends, but after the news about Jack and Emily came out recently the whole thing feels a lot less glamorous.’
