Emily Atack has announced she is pregnant and is ‘over the moon’ to be becoming a mother in the new year.
The actress, 34, is five months pregnant and is expecting her firstborn in April 2024.
It is reported she and her nuclear scientist boyfriend Dr Alistair Garner have set home together as they prepare for the baby’s arrival.
Announcing the happy news on Saturday, she wrote on Instagram: ‘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.
‘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.’
A pal told The Sun: ‘Emily is delighted by the happy news and has been pleased to tell family and close friends about her little one on the way.
‘It’s the perfect end to her year and she feels over the moon.
‘Emily is more than ready to be a mum and it is something she has dreamed of her whole life. Her relationship with Alistair has gone from strength to strength and they’ve moved into together.
‘Family is everything to her — she comes from a big one herself and is really close to all her siblings — so she can’t wait to start one of her own. They’ve all rallied around her and delighted in the joyous occasion.
