Actress Emily Atack, 29, has opened up in her new documentary, Adulting, revealing she fears not being able to have children as she visits a fertility specialist.
Emily, who came second in the latest season of I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!, visited a fertility clinic in a sneak preview of the documentary and admitted she's worried she may not be able to conceive naturally.
In the clip, Emily said: 'Since chatting to my mum I've been worrying about my fertility.

'My whole life I assumed that if I met someone I could just have babies straight away, but what if I can't?
'I've decided to have a fertility test to see if my ovaries are in good working order.'
Speaking to the camera, Emily added: 'I've got to be honest, if it came back and there was something wrong I'd be devastated.
'You want to believe all your tubes are working and your body is working and you're going to have a future with a healthy body and, hopefully, children.'
In the clip, Emily is seen getting an internal fertility scan.
Emily, who decided to do the show because she was 'approaching 30', added she's concerned she will reach her 30s and still won't be ready to have kids.
'I'm worrying that I'll get to 32, still not anywhere close to having kids,' she said. 'So is 29 the kind of age you should start thinking about it when I still feel like a baby now?'
She added: '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.'
Emily is currently dating filmer producer Rob Jowers, 31.
The actress recently shared photos of the pair on a romantic trip to Paris on Instagram.
