Emily first announced her pregnancy, via an Instagram post, in December 2024.
She wrote: ‘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.
‘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.
‘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.’
