Gemma Atkinson has been reminiscing about her family holiday to Tenerife with fiance Gorka Marquez and their adorable daughter Mia. The Hits Radio host shared a cute video on her Instagram of the family walking along and chatting together on their break along with super-sweet snap of two-year-old Mia posing with a tiny metallic handbag with matching sandals and another of Mia with a tasty looking bowl of fruit.
After recently arriving back in Manchester Gemma says Mia has been longing to go back to Tenerife. She said their daughter has asked five times if they can go back there not only on holiday but to live.
Her followers empathised as she wrote: "Since we’ve been home, Mia’s asked me 5 times if we can live In Tenerife. This morning brushing her teeth she genuinely sighed and said 'mum, why aren’t we on holiday any more'. I feel ya Mia, I feel ya!"

As fans told Gemma they understand how she feels, they commented that from the video little Mia has picked up an accent from her famous mum, who is from Bury. And many noticed that Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka, who is from Bilbao, Spain, also seems to have adopted a 'Manchester twang.'
Arleyandme30 commented: "Gorka sounds like he’s picking up on Gemma’s accent. Beautiful family." And tlc_beautytherapy said: "Love the Manchester accent and the bag think Gorka’s getting a Manchester twang too."
aliflyhi1 told Gemma: "Gorkz sounds like he’s picked up the manc accent too", sarahparke10 said: "I defo heard Mancunian in Gorka’s speech then!" and josephjones37 chuckled: "Gorka 'where we guwin'?”"
In the video clip doting mum Gemma asked Mia her name and where she lived. She enthusiastically replied 'Manchester.' And her mum and dad corrected her as she declared that she was in Manchester on holiday rather than Tenerife.
Bury actress and broadcaster Gemma, who recently returned to the Channel Four soap Hollyoaks for a guest stint reprising her role as Lisa Hunter, welcomed Mia with Gorka in July 2019.
Gemma and Gorka met on Strictly in 2017 when she was paired with fellow pro dancer Aljaz Skorjanec and he danced with singer Alexandra Burke on the BBC celeb dance contest.
Gorka popped the question during a romantic dog walk on Valentine's Day last year and he was recently cheered on in the audience by Gemma and Mia when his live show Firedance came to Manchester's The Bridgewater Hall. "Last Night was Special…" he typed on Instagram about the moment.
"To perform in Mcr is always amazing but for the first Time Mia and @glouiseatkinson came to watch me dance and in my head the only thing I could think of it was to make them both proud.
"To see her little face so lit up and how she say said Papa before our last dance. It was just special! I love you both princess and mummy."
