Emily Atack threw everyone for a loop with her baby announcement, right? And now, the deets on how she and her scientist boyfriend, Alistair Garner, linked up are spilling.
The 34-year-old actress, who’s five months into this whole pregnancy gig, kept things on the down-low with Alistair, who’s rumored to be in his mid-30s. They’ve only been spotted together once.
Now, get this – they’ve known each other for ages. Alistair is the son of Emily’s late uncle, Dr Stephen Garner, who tied the knot with Emily’s aunt, Jane Robbins, in 1994.
So, they’re step-cousins, but no blood connection. An insider spilled that, despite the family ties, they’ve always seen each other as more like friends. Life’s throwing curveballs, and Emily’s rolling with it – step-cousins and all.
In her own words, “Overwhelmed by all the messages of support, thank you. I’m stuck at home and very sick. So your kind messages really do cheer me up. So do M&S ginger biscuits, it turns out.” Life’s throwing Emily Atack some unexpected twists, but she’s rolling with it – baby bumps and all.
Emily Atack’s Early Life
Emily Jane Atack entered the world in Luton on December 18, 1989. Her mom’s none other than actress Kate Robbins, and her dad’s Keith Atack, a musician who used to jam with the pop band Child.
Now, here’s a cool family tree twist – on her mom’s side, she’s the first cousin twice removed of none other than the legendary Paul McCartney.
She’s also got comedian Ted Robbins and actress Amy Robbins as her uncle and aunt, and she’s linked by marriage to the late actor Simon Shelton, who sadly passed away in 2018.
At just 16, she ditched school and made a move to the bustling city of London along with her sister Martha. Fast forward to 2022, and she’s still rocking it in the big city. Emily Atack was born to be a Londoner!
Acting Career
Apart from her stint in The Inbetweeners on E4, Emily Atack’s been making moves on the big screen too. You might’ve caught her in the remake of Dad’s Army, sharing the screen with heavyweights like Catherine Zeta-Jones and Bill Nighy. She’s also been flexing her acting chops alongside Harvey Keitel and Gabriel Byrne in the British film Lies We Tell.
Switching gears to TV, Emily popped up in shows like Rock and Chips on BBC, Little Crackers on Sky1, The Keith Lemon Sketch Show on ITV2, and Tracey Ullman’s Show on BBC.

But here’s the twist – they’ve known each other for decades, thanks to some family connections. Emily’s mom, actress Kate Robbins, and Alistair’s step-mum are sisters, making these two future parents step-cousins.
Reports spill the tea that Alistair has been part of the family crew for a while, even popping up in pictures surrounded by Emily’s relatives back in 2017, looking all cozy with his arm around her sister Martha. The caption? “He’s just one of the girls, really.”
Sources spill the deets, saying Emily and Alistair got tight over the past year, and even though it’s a bit unexpected, the fam is over the moon. They’re apparently a rad couple, and everyone’s hyped for the new addition to the crew.
