Pregnant Emily Atack shows off her baby bump in a figure hugging black dress and a denim shirt as she poses for selfies at the hairdressers

Emily Atack showcased her growing baby bump in a black figure hugging dress on Tuesday as she posed for stunning selfies on Instagram. 

The actress, 34, who is expecting her first child with her scientist boyfriend Alistair Garner, treated herself to a luxury hair appointment at Paul Edmonds Battersea Power Station salon.

She looked incredible in the fitted maxi dress which she teamed with a stylish denim shirt which she tied just above her bump. 

The comedian wore a glamorous palette of makeup and completed her outfit with a long blue pendant necklace. 

Emily seemed in good spirits as she enjoyed a hot beverage while having her long blonde tresses cut and coloured.

The Inbetweeners star wrote: ‘Feel a little more like me today!’

In March, Emily revealed how pregnancy has changed her priorities during an appearance on Loose Women ahead of welcoming her first child.

Emily said her ‘body was now a temple’ after friends worried in the past she had not been looking after herself.

She revealed to the panel how excited she was to welcome her baby – which she has confirmed is a boy – and said that she felt ‘extremely connected’ to her body now more than ever.

‘I used to get told off by my friends for not looking after myself enough and staying up too late and all of that and now I’m like, ‘No, my body is a vessel”. 

Before adding: ‘It’s so important that I get an early night and I’m really looking after myself’.

Emily proudly announced the happy news she is expecting her first child on Instagram at the beginning of January, with a snap of her blossoming bump, saying she was ‘over the moon’. 

She didn’t confirm Alistair’s identity in the post, however her publicist later confirmed the relationship and they have reportedly set up home together as they prepare for the baby’s arrival.

Emily previously told how important her cousins have been in her life, calling them ‘the best friends I ever had’. 

Her family, including mother Kate Robbins who calls Alistair her ‘nephew’, are believed to be thrilled the comedy actress is becoming a mum for the first time and endorse her romance with the nuclear scientist, who is not a blood relative.

And writing in her 2019 autobiography Are We There Yet?, Emily gave clues as to why she’s ended up in a relationship with Alistair because her cousins ‘understand each other on a deep level.’

She says: ‘Cousins are the best invention since the Game Boy. They are basically 50 per cent sibling, 50 per cent mate. You look the same but different…

‘You understand each other on a deep, deep, level and you have a smidgen more social etiquette towards them than your brother or sister…

‘It makes me sad for my friends who don’t have that relationship with their cousins, because mine were the best friends I ever had. They are still my best friends to this day.’
