Emily Atak has distracted her fans as she gave them a candid update on motherhood. The comedian and actress welcomed her first child into the world in June.

At the time, Emily took to social media to announce the arrival of her baby boy. Alongside a sweet black and white photo of herself, her boyfriend Alistair Garner and their son, she wrote on Instagram: "We have a beautiful son. Barney James Garner. All my dreams have come true."

She has now shared an update from her 'Barney bubble' as she shared a string of pictures to social media which included the adorable newborn and her partner as well as Emily’s mum, actress and singer Kate Robbins, and her siblings Martha and George.

All are clearly besotted by the new arrival, with one photo showing a beaming Martha and George meeting their nephew in the hospital before Kate is seen with her grandson lying on her chest as she smiled for a cute selfie.

Emily also shared photos of her cradling her newborn, Alistair holding his son and a cute photo of Barney’s pram with only one of his legs sticking out.

But proving that she's in the midst of being a mum for the first time, the former The Inbetweeners star also included a photo of her and Barney snoozing alongside pet pooch Penny as well as one of herself with her hair sticking up and soothing eye patches under her eyes.

"Brb, still in the Barney bubble," she captioned the post with a red love heart. And the messages quickly came flooding in. This Morning host Cat Deeley said: "Beyond gorgeous !!!! Live in the bubble, wear PJ’s and enjoy every moment." TV and radio star Vicky Pattison wrote: "It's the little leg for me."

It’s the hardest but best job in the world." @beckyharrisonsmith posted: "Beautiful you and him." @juliesnowdon1 added: "Congratulations he's adorable."

Some, however, did find themselves distracted by a photo of Alister in a hospital bed as they pointed out his lookalike. @adam.mulvey.92 wrote: "Congratulations but I thought that was Rylan Clarke in the bed." @jtwalker18 replied: "Omg same!!!" @juliesnowdon1 added: "Honestly wondered why @rylan was there."
