SHE has spent much of life in front of the camera but Emily Atack has kept her latest romance very much underwraps.
And now, in a shock to her fans she has revealed she is in fact five months pregnant with a hunky and rather mysterious nuclear scientist.
Emily, 34, has only been pictured Dr Alistair Garner on one occasion – in September of this year.
The Inbetweener’s star would already have been pregnant at that point, which would explain her very happy demeanour.
The pair looked very relaxed in each other’s company, suggesting they had been dating in secret for some time.
Since then Emily and Alistair have set up home together to prepare for their child’s arrival.

A pal said of their budding romance and the baby: “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.”
Alistair attended the University of Manchester, where he gained his PhD and also worked as a lecturer.
According to his Linkedin he is a ‘materials scientist and electron microscopist specialising in the degradation of high performance alloys for nuclear and aerospace applications’.
His current job is thought to be a Senior Consultant at Jacobs, a huge American company.
Emily didn't mention him directly in her pregnancy statement, but made his presence known as she said: "We can already sense the baby is reclined on a mattress of peanut butter and jam sandwiches in there, demanding more chocolate buttons."
