Pregnant Emily Atack has hit back at trolls after they questioned why she is always touching her bump.
How it Happened
The TV presenter, 34, recently showed off her blossoming baby bump as she hit the red carpet at the star-studded BAFTAs on Sunday evening in a gorgeous flowing cream gown.
The Inbetweeners actor, who is due to give birth to her first child in April, cradled her bump in the snaps, causing some followers to send cruel comments to the star.Â
Replying Her Trolls
Taking to he Instagram Story on Tuesday, Emily shared one comment which read: ‘How heavy is the bump? Not seen a picture with your hand off it’.
Replying to the remark she wrote: ‘I find this so interesting. I, like so many women, get so many comments and questions like this (mainly from men) asking why I feel the need to always be cradling my baby bump, or touching it in some way.
‘It seems to really irritate some people. My only answer, is that it’s my baby I’m physically and literally carrying. It’s one of the most natural instincts in the world. It’s a sign of affection and protection.
‘And I’m probably hungry too. Hope this answers you pestiferous questions.’Â
She also shared a second comment which read: ‘Looks terrible! And I really hate that “cradling of the baby bump”. So affected; it screams “look at me, I’m pregnant, aren’t I superior to you”. Ugh!’
Emily replied: ‘I’m carrying a human love not a prada sodding handbag’.
After her glamorous appearance at the BAFTAs, Emily headed home instead of heading to a celebrity-filled afterparty. Â
The mother-to-be showed off her blossoming baby bump as she posed nude in the bath, putting her feet up after the long night.
She captioned her story: ‘And now… the Bubble Bafta party!’
Emily proudly announced on Instagram at the beginning of January that she is expecting her first child with Alistair, who is also a step-cousin she grew up with.
