Pregnant Emily Atack shows off huge baby bump with scientist boyfriend as due date is just day away
PREGNANT Emily Atack has been spotted out and about with her boyfriend Dr Alisatair Garner as they prepare to welcome their first child.
The couple held hands as they walked through North London on Saturday, while Emily showcased her blossoming bump in a figure-hugging black and khaki dress.
The Inbetweeners star, 34, finished her look with a beige jacket and a pair of black boots.
Meanwhile, nuclear scientist Alistair donned a red checkered jacket and black trousers.
The couple are expecting the arrival of their baby boy imminently, with Emily previously revealing that their baby was due in April.
The TV star was first seen in public with Alistair in September last year.
The Sun previously revealed that Alistair is the son of her late uncle – Dr Stephen Garner – who married Emily’s aunt Jane Robbins in 1994.
Emily was very close to her uncle Steve – who fans say looked like Richard Gere – and was heartbroken when he died last year.
She grew up alongside Alistair – and the pair often spent time together on family holidays.
They kept their relationship secret for some time but grew close over the past year and set up a home together for their new arrival.
An insider said: “Emily and Alistair consider themselves more family friends but they are cousins who aren’t related by blood.
“They grew up together and have always got on really well, but last year they started to get closer.
“It has been a really natural evolution of their friendship and they both have strong feelings for each other.
“Emily and Alistair were thrilled when they found out they were expecting and are really looking forward to becoming parents.”
Emily shared the happy news in an emotional Instagram post with her fans in December.
She wrote: “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.”
The star had managed to keep her exciting news a secret until she felt ready to share it with the public.
The first hint that something was up came when she disappeared from Instagram.
She said at the time that she had been taking some time away to “focus on actual real life” after having a “hell of a year”.
