Emily has previously scooped praise from MPs for her campaign to highlight online abuse.

The actress and stand-up has also told how she is bombarded with hundreds of penis pics and sexually explicit messages every single day.

Proving the issue remains, she took to her Instagram as she wrote: "How is this s**t still allowed?

"How do we make this illegal? This is a platform where children could easily receive this abuse.

"I am harassed everyday by this man. I block and block, and he creates new accounts and gets into my private messages. Everyday."

The star then called on Instagram bosses to take action as she added: "Sort it out."

After uploading the third page of vile messages, she added: "Abuse that no one is talking about."

Previously Emily, who recently backed a campaign to make cyber flashing a crime, said the vile messages make her question what people think of her and if that could be the reason she is single.

Admitting the messages can “drive her crazy”, she said senders should consider the harm they can do.

Speaking in a podcast, Emily said: “Before breakfast, I’ve seen about ten penises I have not asked to see. 

“If someone sends me a sexually explicit message, I’m like, ‘Why have they said that to me?’.

“It makes you question who you are and why you’re single.

“It can drive you crazy. 

“It’s not just seeing their picture and thinking, ‘I don’t want to see your hairy ballsack, thanks’.

“If it was just that, I would get over it really quickly as I have seen lots of horrible hairy ballsacks in my life.

“But I get sent hundreds of pictures a day. It’s awful.

“It’s not normal, is it? People don’t realise the harm (it can cause) and the triggering it can spark — where else you take it in your mind.”
