Emily Atack shares sweet snaps of son and says she always dreamt of motherhood

The Inbetweeners and Rivals star Emily Atack celebrated her son Barney's first birthday with a gushing post on social media alongside a string of sweet snaps Emily Atack said she "dreamt of you my whole life" as she celebrated her son Barney's first birthday with a series of adorable photos. The Inbetweeners star took to her Instagram page to share a carousel of photos taken throughout the first year of his life. The first photo showed little Barney sleeping on Emily's chest shortly after she gave birth to him. The 35-year-old and her boyfriend Alistair Garner welcomed Barney James Garner into the world last June, and paying tribute to him, she said: "Happy 1st birthday to our son Barney James Garner. The Baby Barn Owl. I've dreamt of you my whole life. It was always you. I love you beyond words, our beautiful, BEAUTIFUL boy. You are so cherished my heart could burst." ‌ ‌ Emily shared mirror selfies from when she was pregnant, snaps of her and her partner opening baby presents as well as pictures of her and Alistair cuddling the little one. Friends and fans rushed to the comment section to wish Barney a happy birthday, with Fleur East writing: "Wow! A whole year? Amazing!! [heart emoji] Happy birthday, Barney." Sian Welby posted: "Awwwww! Happy birthday!" and Carol Vorderman posted: "Happy ONETH birthday Barney." One family member added: "Happy burfday our lickle Barnicles . Cant wait to give you a special birthday squidge." Last month, Emily enjoyed a family holiday as they hit the beach together. The proud mum carried her baby son Barney in a sling as she soaked up the stunning view of the beach in Mevagissey, Cornwall. The adorable little boy donned another striped outfit along with a beige cap and sweet black sandals on his feet. Meanwhile, Emily wore a white oversized shirt along with matching shorts and had her hair in a half-up-half-down style. ‌ She also posted a snap of rarely seen Alistair wearing the baby sling with their beloved son inside as they strolled through a hilly street in the picturesque Cornish village. The father-son duo also hit the beach as Alistair held Barney, who looked excited as he faced the sea. As the mum-of-one posted the photos to her Instagram page, she wrote in the caption: "Last minute trip to magical Mevagissey. "Can't quite explain how perfect it was. Barney loves pasties." ‌ Emily usually keeps her love life out of the public eye, but previously opened up about her romance with Alistar, whom she began dating in 2023. Talking to The Times, Emily admitted to feeling 'lonely' before finding love with Alistair. She said: "I feel like my whole life had been building up to that moment, not just getting a part in that show, but also my personal life. It feels like the stars have aligned. That is genuinely how it feels."

Nick Knowles and his new wife Katie pack on the PDA as they are seen for the first time since their wedding at Royal Ascot day four

Nick Knowles and his wife Katie packed on the PDA as they were seen for the first time since their wedding as they led the glamour at Royal Ascot day four on Friday. The presenter, 62, exchanged vows with his lingerie brand boss bride, 34, during a six-figure wedding at Braxted Park, Essex, earlier this month. At Ascot Katie wore a blue and white dress very similar to her wedding dress as she planted a kiss on her husband. She added a smart navy hat to her look and boosted her height with strappy nude heels while beaming for the camera. By her side Nick cut a smart figure in a black suit and light blue silk waist coat as the pair proved they were very much still in their honeymoon period. Also at the racing event was regular Georgia Toffolo who looked the epitome of chic in a red dress with statement sleeves. Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the UK racing calendar, kicked off on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and will run until Saturday. King Charles and Camilla are likely to arrive in the famous carriage procession along the course and past the stands that will welcome hundreds of thousands of punters during the five-day meet. It is a royal tradition that has reached its 200th anniversary this year after it was first held in 1825 during the reign of King George IV. The festival was founded by Queen Anne in 1711 after she declared Ascot ideal for 'horses fit for kings' and it is now a major social event and sporting attraction. Last week newly-weds Katie and Nick shared a glimpse into their lavish wedding on social media as they partied into the night. The fun continued into the early hours, as the couple shared a series of sweet photos and clips on Instagram from their happy day. Katie wowed in a stunning second white bridal dress for the reception while Nick looked dapper in a pink blazer. The couple showed off their fun side as they posed in a photo booth wearing costume hats and Katie held a wired telephone. In another clip, the couple danced while Katie jokingly shook her head at her new husband's moves as he whipped off his pink suit jacket flinging it around his head. As guests made their arrival for the nuptials, they were greeted with a cheeky nod to Nick's TV success, as a huge sign boasted the words: 'Welcome to Katie's wedding... ft TV's Nick Knowles.' Earlier in the evening, Katie wore her quirky floral print wedding dress, which she wore for the ceremony, for the couple's first dance and cutting their huge cake. The couple pulled out all the stops for their guests with a live band providing the music whilst a carnival dancer bedecked in feathers took to the floor at one point. The couple began dating in 2021 after they met when their children became friends at a play centre and got engaged in 2023. The couple are said to have spared no expense on their special day, which was reportedly attended by a whole host of celebrity guests, including Nick's Strictly co-stars. Last month, Katie kicked off the wedding celebrations with her hen do at luxury boutique hotel Karma Sanctum, where she was joined by close friends Kirsty Shaw-Rayner and Sherene Fuller. The group arrived on a beer bus and then headed through party district Soho wearing Nick Knowles face masks, much to the amusement of Katie, ahead of partying at Karma Sanctum. Katie was later entertained by two buff men dressed as a fireman and policeman as the party carried on into the early hours. Katie and the TV star have been subject to cruel trolling during their relationship, with critics mocking their age difference and financial setup. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, about the 'gold digger' jibes, Katie admitted they don't get to her as much as they used to because she and Nick know it's not true. She said: 'I think at the start, it was probably more irritating, especially for my family. But now those comments kind of just pass over me because we both know it's not true. 'Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have and then we buy each other stuff.' Katie continued: 'We're both really comfortable with where we are with that and you will always get it because there's an age gap. 'I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone's using the other one for money and they're not happy. 'So as long as I know it's not true and he knows it's not true, I think that's, that's pretty much all that matters.' Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022. She has proved to be her own best advert for the brand, modelling the skimpy looks to her 102,000 Instagram followers.
