Emily Atack has revealed that she is welcoming a baby boy next month.
The TV personality, 34, is expecting her first child with Alistair, who is also a step-cousin she grew up with.
She proudly announced the news on Instagram at the beginning of January, with a snap of her blossoming bump, saying she was ‘over the moon’.
On Tuesday, Emily appeared on BBC Breakfast to discuss the campaign to introduce affirmative consent in relationships.
The actress explained how she wanted to bring about a change to sex consent laws for both men and women.

She then admitted that while she didn’t plan on revealing anything, she confirmed that she was expecting a boy as she opened up on her hopes for his future being improved by the campaign.
Emily said: ‘I wasn’t going to say this, but I am going to say this. I am having a boy.’
She added: ‘So I want him to be a part of a really positive change and I want him to grow up knowing he can talk about these things openly and enjoy his life. I want him to be on the right side of history.’
Emily is backing a campaign by Right To Equality, to tighten the laws around sexual consent.
Affirmative consent means ‘anything less than a clear, uncoerced, and informed confirmation of consent like “yes” cannot qualify as consent in the eyes of the law.’
This means consent has to be clear communication of willingness, rather that the absence of a ‘no’, and can be withdrawn at any time and not be gained by threats, force or coercion.
