Last week, Emily shared a comment on her Instagram 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.’
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’.
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.
Posting a black and white photo showing off her bump, Emily told her 1.9M followers she was ‘over the moon’ to be five months pregnant and due to give birth in April.

They were introduced after Emily’s aunt started dating Alistair’s father Stephen Garner in the early nighties before they got married in 1994.
