Emily Atack announced she's pregnant with her first child in a sweet post shared on Instagram.
The Inbetweeners star, 34, shared a black-and-white snap of herself smiling at the camera as her hand cradled her growing baby bump. Most of her Instagram followers were quick to congratulate the star and her boyfriend Dr Alistair Garner on the incredible news.
She kept her pregnancy a secret for five months and, in October, Emily shared snaps of herself enjoying a holiday in Palermo. Pictures featured glasses of wine as well as fish and shellfish dishes. A few cruel trolls rushed to the comment section to criticise the star.

Some trolls criticised her for her holiday snaps from October (emilyatack/Instagram)One user said: "If you're 5 months pregnant and pics of you less than 2 months ago eating shell fish and drinking wine, really hoping you didn't know. Congratulations though," while one nosy follower added: "She posted glasses of wine just two months ago," along with a shocked face emoji.
Thankfully, she was defended by a fan who said: "Congratulations and I wish you all the best. Please ignore all the negative comments you're bound to get from the mum police. Do what feels right."

On December 30, Emily shared the news of her pregnancy with her 1.9 million followers. She said: "Hello Everyone, it’s been a little while but I’m back with some news. I’m delighted to share with you all that we’re having a baby!! I’ve never been so happy and utterly terrified at the same time. Please go easy on me.
The cruel comments mentioned her drinking wine a few months ago (Emily Atack)"Every day is mixed with thrill, fear, joy, hysteria, topped off with a lot of vomiting - a bit like when you’ve just stepped off of the Oblivion at Alton Towers on a hangover. I’ve got to know my body on such an insane level. It’s made me appreciate the one I’ve been given SO much, I’m doing my absolute best to make it a home for the little squid I’m growing.
"We can already sense the baby is reclined on a mattress of peanut butter and jam sandwiches in there, demanding more chocolate buttons. I’m so happy to be writing all of this to you all. You’ve always stuck by me through the years, do stick around to watch me enter my mum era. Christ. Let’s go."
She was first linked to boyfriend Dr Alistair Garner in September 2023 as they were photographed together walking hand in hand while out and about in London and were said to have enjoyed an afternoon of drinking together. However, it isn't known how long the two have been dating.
