Emily Atack fans make same cheeky Inbetweeners joke after she reveals she’s pregnant with first child

EMILY Atack fans have made a cheeky Inbetweeners joke after she announced she is expecting her first child with her scientist partner.

The actress, 34, played popular schoolgirl Charlotte Hinchcliffe on the E4 comedy series, and dated main character Will McKenzie on and off.

In one episode, the pair attempt to have sex but stop because Will doesn't know what he's doing - in the famous 'planking' scene.

Last night, Emily shared the happy news that she is pregnant with her first baby with nuclear scientist Dr Alistair Garner, as fans raced to congratulate the star.

While some followers were quick to make an Inbetweeners quip, with one writing in the comments section: "Is Will the father?"

A second posted: "Will MacKenzie has finally delivered," with a wink face emoji.

"The wig worked after all, the ladies love it," a third joked.

A fourth commented: "So Will isn't a virgin anymore?"

While someone else added: "Me thinking it was Donovan's lol," who dated Charlotte and played school bully Mark on the show.

On Saturday Emily shared a sweet black and white photo of her baby bump for the first time.

In an emotional post, 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."

Emily went on to talk about how her pregnancy has made her appreciate her body more and she is trying to treat it with care as a child grows inside her.

Although she was only pictured with the dad for the first time in September, the star has actually kept her pregnancy under wraps for five months.

This means she is expecting her first child in April.

Emily 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.

At the time the former I'm A Celebrity participant said she was taking a break from social media to "focus on actual real life" after having a "hell of a year".

On her birthday she also shared a bump-free throwback pic, which didn't give away her secret.

Emily was first spotted with the father of her baby this autumn as they went for a pub date in London.

An onlooker said: "Emily was deep in conversation with Alistair.

"She had a cocktail and Alistair ordered a beer.

"Emily looked to be having a great time and couldn’t stop smiling.

"When they left they were holding hands."
