Ex-Emmerdale star Gemma Atkinson reveals her daughter Mia told nursery teachers she's pregnant

Ex Emmerdale star Gemma Atkinson spoke of her horror as she revealed her daughter Mia dropped a "baby bomb shell" after she caught a sickness bug.

The former Carly Hope actress revealed the three-year-old tot had cheekily told her nursery teachers that her mum was expecting another baby on Hits Radio UK earlier this week. The 37-year-old radio host was quick to shut down the claims during her radio show on Monday, July 25 as she addressed the embarrassing moment.

Gemma said: "Mia has told a lot of the teachers at nursery that I'm pregnant", her radio co-star joked: "What? You're pregnant? I thought it was just holiday weight", "It is holiday weight. I'm not [pregnant]" Gemma laughed.

The mum-of-one explained: "She's told four of the staff that I'm pregnant. Gorka picked her up on Monday night and when I got home from work he said, 'Tell mummy, what you said today and she got a bit funny.

"I said, 'What's gone on?'" Gemma continued: "She apparently put her hand up in front of everyone and said, 'I've got something to say, my mummy has a baby in her tummy', apparently it's a little girl named Annabel."

Gemma explained that Mia's confusion was due to her mum contracting a stomach bug while they were on holiday in Spain recently. She said: "I had to explain, I said 'Mia, I've not got a baby in my tummy', she said 'yes you have you were rubbing your tummy' and what happened was in Spain, I got a bit of stomach bug while we were away, a gastro thing."

The radio DJ said she later told her own mother about Mia's cheeky admission who claimed her daughter may have a "sixth sense", however, Gemma was quick to shut the idea down: "Please, no."

Hits Radio UK's official account shared the hilarious clip, the post was captioned: "Mia mistook @glouiseatkinson holiday weight for a baby." And it wasn't long before the comments section was flooded with fans and it seems many of their 47,000 followers agreed with Gemma's mum that Mia could know something they don't!

Hodge Lucy said: "My son said this to me and I was actually pregnant…. He knew before me. His sister is 5 months old now x", while Lindsay Jane penned: "Love Mia. She makes my day" and Kelly Gower wrote: "Mia is hinting Gem."
