Speaking in a clip from Emily Atack: Adulting, she said: “I have been worrying about my fertility.
“My whole life I have assumed if I met someone I could have babies straight away, but what if I can’t?
“I have got to be honest, if they come back and say something is wrong I will be absolutely devastated.”
Emily, who has recently found love with Rob Jowers, continued: “I’m worrying that I’ll get to 32, still not anywhere close to having kids.
“So is 29 the kind of age you should start thinking about it when I still feel like a baby now?

“I used to look at my Grandma Betty when she was alive and think, God, she’s surrounded with all of us, she’s got so many grandkids, so many kids. That’s what I want.
“I don’t want to be a lonely old person, I want to be surrounded with family.”
The Inbetweeners star said she feels like a "lost little kid" and torn between a teenage mindset and the need to get on with adult life.
Her new show explores the issues facing young people as they confront the challenges of adulthood she is grappling with herself.

She said: "I would definitely say that I've been soul-searching at the moment.
"I feel like I'm getting to a point where I'm becoming a little bit more stable with who I am and I'm hoping to get just a little bit more self-acceptance."
She added: "I feel like I'm at an age where it's the quarter-life crisis club. It's not quite a midlife crisis, but we're all kind of being thrown into adulthood when we still feel like teenagers.
"I feel like a lost little kid in a supermarket and I can't find my mum."
