The 34-year-old - also known for appearing on reality TV shows including I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing On Ice - has a family connection to her nuclear scientist other half, Dr Alistair Garner, 37, according to reports.
The pair got together last year but are said to have known each other for longer due to Emily’s aunt marrying Alistair’s late dad Stephen Garner in the 1990s.
A source told Mail Online: “Emily and Alistair have grown close over the past 12 months.
“It was unexpected but their family is delighted for them. They make a great couple and everybody is excited for their new arrival."
Emily, who is thought to be five months pregnant, surprised fans with her happy news and her famous mum, actress Kate Robbins, whose sister married Alistair's dad, later said she was “thrilled” by the news.
The former Crossroads star, 65, wrote on Instagram: “My baby having a baby. Could not be more thrilled if I tried."
