Emily Atack has announced the birth of her first child with her nuclear scientist boyfriend Dr Alistair Garner.
Sharing the happy news on Instagram, the Inbetweeners star posted a black-and-white snap of her and Alistair gazing at their baby boy.
She captioned the post: “We have a beautiful son. Barney James Garner. All my dreams have come true.”
The actress announced she was expecting her first child on December 30th last year.
She wrote alongside a picture of her baby bump: “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,” she continued.
“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 added.
After her pregnancy announcement, it emerged that Emily’s boyfriend Alistair is her “step-cousin she’s known for years.”
At the time, the Daily Mail reported that Emily’s mother Kate Robbins is the sister of Alistair’s stepmother Jane Garner – making them step-cousins.
It’s understood Emily and Alistair have known each other for decades, as Emily’s aunt started dating Alistair’s late father Stephen Garner in the early 90s before they wed in 1994.
A source told MailOnline: “Emily and Alistair have grown close over the past 12 months.”
“It was unexpected but their family is delighted for them. They make a great couple and everybody is excited for their new arrival.”
