Pregnant Emily Atack dubs Bobby Brazier 'gorgeous' as she makes cheeky joke after BAFTAs

Emily Atack, who is currently expecting her first child, made a playful joke about Strictly Come Dancing's Bobby Brazier on social media during the BAFTA TV Awards.

The Inbetweeners actress - who is due to give birth in a few weeks - highlighted the stark contrast between her current life and past life as a singleton, reports the Mirror.

Before she announced her shock pregnancy late last year, the 34-year-old was often linked romantically with several famous men, including Manchester City and England footballer Jack Grealish and pop sensation Harry Styles.

However, since becoming pregnant with her step-cousin Alistair Garner's baby, Emily's lifestyle has undergone significant changes.

Instead of partying into the early hours at after-parties, the fun-loving star was tucked up in bed once the BAFTA TV Awards ceremony concluded on Sunday night.

The soon-to-be mum shared snaps from the glamorous event on her Instagram Stories, as she beamed in a baby blue dress and delicate, sparkling jewellery, and cradled her bump.

She also shared a charming photo of EastEnders actor Bobby looking smart in his tuxedo as he assisted her down a step inside London's Royal Festival Hall.

"Gone from leaving the club at 4 am with the young gorgeous men to them having to help me down the sodding stairs," Emily jested alongside a picture of her and Bobby, 20. Further adding: "Christ how things have changed. Thank you dear @bobbyvrazier x [laughing face emoji]."

Earlier this year, Emily shared the gender of her baby while also highlighting her aim to teach her forthcoming son the importance of respecting women.

In the past, she vocalised her experiences with misogynistic and intimidating online abuse, confessing the receipt of unsolicited explicit images and she's consistently pushed for an edification in sexual consent laws.

Discussing her aspirations for her son, Emily sid: "I want him to be a part of a really positive change. It starts with education... we need to have these conversations."

During an appearance on BBC Breakfast, Emily accentuated the significance of affirmative consent in sexual relationships advising that individuals ought to demonstrate "clear and enthusiastic communication" rather than simply refraining from saying "no".

She went on: "It may not be the perfect solution but [we want] to flip it around and say, we're going to make this much easier - did that person say yes? ... This is something we need boys and girls, men and women to work together on. Good education, underpinned with a change in law, is a start."

Last week, the entertainer expressed her joy about impending motherhood by sharing a photo of her prominent baby bump on Instagram, which she amusingly captioned: "Like a hen sitting on an egg."

She first revealed her pregnancy to her fans last December, making the announcement as part of her New Year's Eve celebrations.

In a heartfelt online message, she conveyed her complex feelings, stating: "I've never been so happy and utterly terrified at the same time. 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."

She continued, reflecting on her journey: "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."
