The Inbetweeners star Emily Atack has announced she is having a baby.
The 34-year-old actress announced her pregnancy in a post on Instagram, with a black and white image of her in bed with a baby bump.
“I’ve never been so happy and utterly terrified at the same time,” she wrote.
“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.”
She added: “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.”
Atack, who rose to fame playing Charlotte Hinchcliffe in the British teen comedy The Inbetweeners, is reported to be dating a scientist who works as an electron microscopist.
According to The Sun newspaper, the pair recently set up a home together to prepare for the arrival of the baby, which is said to be due in April.

Atack was born in Luton and is the daughter of the actress and singer Kate Robbins, and the musician Keith Atack, who played in the 1970s pop band, Child.
