Emily Atack has moved to an idyllic Bedfordshire village just 15 minutes from her mum and childhood home.
The actress, 36, welcomed her first child with her scientist fiancé Alistair Garner in June 2024, a baby boy named Barney.
Since then, her career has gone from strength to strength, thanks to her role in Rivals, based on the novel by Jilly Cooper, where she stars alongside Danny Dyer and David Tennant.
Now, it has been revealed that Emily has swapped London life for a quieter village near her mother’s home in Bedfordshire
A source told The Sun: ‘She moved out of her family home 20 years ago but is now back living just 15 minutes away from her mum in a neighbouring village.
‘It’s all because of the man she fell in love with – and how he’s given her the confidence to trust herself.

The actress showcased her body transformation as she slipped into a chic black Agent Provocateur mini dress for a slew of sultry Instagram snaps.
Emily wore the look, which hugged her taut frame, over a stylish black satin blouse with lace detailing.
The stunner styled her long blonde locks in loose bouncy curls and also accentuated her features with glam make-up.
Emily was hit by claims she’s using weight-loss jabs after unveiling her new look over the Christmas period.

The actress was hit by claims she’s using weight-loss jabs after unveiling her new look over the Christmas period.
A carousel of photos that Emily shared sparked an outrageous reaction from her followers.
Her comments section was brimming with messages but many fans rushed to defend the star after some suggested she had turned to weight loss aids.
‘Skinny jabs are jabbing,’ wrote one follower as another asked, ‘on the jabs? Looks good tho’.
Others questioned: ‘Are you on Mounjaro?’ and ‘That jab is making its rounds!’
One fan pointed out in defence of Emily: ‘These comments! Aren’t we over talking about women’s bodies?’
‘The thing is, women can’t win. We are either too fat or too skinny. While I appreciate you admiring her a bit larger, her size or any woman’s size is not for public comment. Let’s just say she is stunning,’ agreed another.
Another said: ‘Its amazing that she’s posted a whole reel of lovely Xmas photos and 80% of the comments are about her body.’
Emily’s celeb pal Katherine Ryan also had her say, simply writing ‘GIRL’ with a string of fire emojis.
Just months after the birth Emily revealed she had been inundated with questions about her weight, but had refused to rush back to the gym.
Speaking to Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast in November 2024, Emily shared: ‘There’s something quite liberating about having a baby. Your body goes through so much and you genuinely look at your body as a completely different vessel.
‘Being pregnant and being desexualised, looking at your body, you create a human inside you, then you give birth to your child – which by the way is mental – you get home and the first thing people say to you is, when are you going to get back in the gym?’
Emily laughed: ‘Are you kidding? I’ve just created a human, I am exhausted! I’ve just tried to push a human out of me and had it ripped out of my stomach.
‘The last thing I want to do is go to the gym but the first thing you’re expected to do is get back into shape.
‘Where’s the congratulations for being a mother? Instead it’s when are you going to get the baby weight off… I’m not back at the gym at the minute, I’ve actually put on more weight since giving birth. I’m just enjoying this bit.’
Emily revealed that she’s always had a ‘healthy relationship’ with her weight but was unprepared for the comments she’d receive in her breakout role as Charlotte Hinchcliffe in The Inbetweeners.
‘Everybody started talking about my weight,’ she explained. ‘There was a whole Facebook page dedicated to me/Charlotte Hinchcliffe. I couldn’t believe how awful it was, people talking about my weight.
‘People would then try and be positive and say, “At least we’re seeing curvier girls now playing sexier roles on television.” I didn’t even know I was curvy!
‘I was a size eight, a tiny little body, but to some people it was the first time they’d seen a girl that wasn’t really, really skinny. They were used to seeing very underweight actresses playing the sexy girls.’
Speaking about the juxtaposition of posing for lads’ mags while simultaneously being trolled online, she added: ‘Some people were saying I’m sexy and beautiful and others saying I’m fat and ugly. It was so confusing.
‘Luckily I’ve never ever had any unhealthy eating habits, or dieting, I’m so f***ing lucky that I’ve never in my life.
‘I don’t go on diets. There have been times in my life where I’ve thought I’ve got to lay off the wine for a bit and get in shape for this new role or for my mental health I’ve gone to the gym a bit more but I’ve never become thinner because of being called fat. I’ve had to train my brain.’
