Ex-Emmerdale star Gemma Atkinson's 'spot the northerner' jibe as she pokes fun at fiancé Gorka Márquez over holiday buy

Former Emmerdale actress Gemma Atkinson has shared a humorous holiday snap, mocking her fiancé Gorka Márquez and telling fans to "spot the northerner".

The 38-year-old proudly showed off a €14 purchase which she bagged while abroad with the Strictly Come Dancing star and their daughter Mia. The couple, who are expecting their second child together, have enjoyed their break and shared a number of photographs on social media.

She had previously warned fans that the "holiday spam wasn't over" and said more pictures would be shared over the next few days. In her latest post, the Hits Radio host can be seen floating in the pool on an inflatable unicorn with Mia looking up at her.

Below the picture, Gemma wrote: "'Is it my turn yet mum?' Absolutely not hun. Unless you have your own 14 Euros [£12]?", alongside a cry-laughing emoji. She then ended up mocking her husband-to-be by sharing his reaction to her holiday purchase. "This unicorn obviously came home with us. Gorka asked why, saying 'what da heck we gone do with that Gemah??'

"I said because 14 euros Gorka! And it’ll be nice in the summer to just put out in the garden!" At the end of the post, she added: "Spot the northerner," with a winking face and another cry-laughing emoji.

Gorka saw the funny side as he took to the comments to jokingly say: "For the 24h of UK summer." However, he clearly seemed to approve of Gemma's purchase, calling it "the best 14 euros spent", the MEN reports.

Sharing his on string of snaps on Instagram, he wrote: "Lets get it for Mía we said…I guess it's the best 14 euros @glouiseatkinson spent in holiday.

"Apart from the extra KGs to be able to bring it back home," he wrote. But she was quick to defend herself as she typed in the comments section: "I will sit on that unicorn most afternoons on Mat leave JUST to get my euros worth."

And fans also saw the funny side. @jojosmitty02 joked: "14 Euros: it’s adopted into the family, given a name and gets invited to all family socials." @katebakerr echoed: "14 euros. It’s family now." @hayes.squared posted: "Adore this!! Such a northern thing!"

@jlouhu added: "It's far too fabulous to leave behind...and in any case if you've paid 14 Euros for it then it has to come back with you! (I'm a southerner - well an East Anglian to be precise - and I'm still with you!)."

Ahead of their son's arrival, Gemma and Gorka, 32, took Mia abroad for some quality family time during the half-term break. Posting a video of her and Mia taking in the view from the sea, the former Hollyoaks star wrote: "Last sunset in the sea for a while..." adding a face holding back tears emoji and a red heart.

She then added another photograph of Mia and her with a GIF which read: "My little lady." Gemma then wrote: "Crazy feelings of emotions right now.

"Knowing this is the last time our holiday is just us, but also the excitement of the next one with my son as well. Parenting is a full on rollercoaster indeed."
