Emily Atack reveals she thought she'd lost her baby after suffering a haemorrhage during pregnancy as she hits out at the 'casual and flippant' narrative around miscarriage


The actress, 34, welcomed her first child with scientist Alistair Garner, in June, a baby boy named Barney. Yet she suffered a scare during pregnancy when she started losing blood.

Speaking to Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast, Emily shared: 'I saw blood in the toilet and I was like, oh my god, I'm miscarrying - it was just coming out of me and I thought that's it, biggest fear realised, I'm having a miscarriage.' It got me thinking: Consent, or the lack of it is at the heart of so much sexual harassment and violence that women and girls experience, yet the current law still fails to protect those who don't say the word 'no' outright. The actress previously explored the alarming rise in online sexual harassment for new BBC2 documentary Emily Atack: Asking For It after experiencing repeated daily abuse across her Instagram and TikTok accounts.
