Kate Robbins has referred to her pregnant daughter Emily Atack’s baby daddy Dr Alistair Garner as her “nephew” in a resurfaced social media post.
The Inbetweeners star announced last week that she is expecting her first child with her nuclear scientist boyfriend. However, it has since emerged that Emily, 34, and 37-year-old Alistair have known each other for 30 years before becoming a couple.
Alistair’s step-mum is actually Kate’s sister, making the parents-to-be step-cousins. Jane Garner, Emily’s aunt, married Alistair’s late dad Stephen Garner in the early nineties. In an Instagram post from four and a half years ago, Kate called Alistair her nephew.

She shared a photo of him wearing her old jacket from the 80s at Glastonbury in 2019, captioned: “In 1982 I had this rather moody publicity shot taken. Yes, cringe. Forward to 2019 Glastonbury and my nephew @bigfattyalan is wearing the same jacket (minus tassels) good recycling.”

Alistair has been seen in family photos with Emily dating back as far as 2017. In one photo, he is seen with his arm around Emily’s sister Martha. A source told MailOnline: “Emily and Alistair have grown close over the past 12 months. It was unexpected but their family is delighted for them. They make a great couple and everybody is excited for their new arrival.”
Kate’s recent Instagram post comes after she expressed her excitement about becoming a grandmother. She shared on social media: “My baby having a baby. Could not be more thrilled if I tried,”

Emily revealed her pregnancy on Saturday (December 30), sharing a snap of her baby bump. She captioned the photo: “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!”
She added: “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 also said: “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.”
She ended her post by saying: “I’m so happy to be writing all of this to you all. You’ve always stuck by me through the years, do stick around to watch me enter my mum era. Christ. Let’s go.” Daily Star has contacted Emily’s reps for comment.
