Gemma Atkinson addresses lack of 'bump pictures' as she shares reality of stressful maternity leave with ambulance call and vets dash

Gemma Atkinson has shared the reality of the last three weeks of her maternity leave as she patiently awaits the arrival of her second child. The Hits Radio host and her Strictly Come Dancing star fiance Gorka Marquez announced in January that they were expanding their brood.

The couple, who met on BBC One hit Strictly when Gemma was a contestant in 2017 before love blossomed on the tour at the start of 2018, confirmed at the time they were expecting a baby boy this summer after welcoming their first child, daughter Mia, back in July 2019.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday (July 11), Bury-born Gemma confirmed that she is now 40 weeks into her pregnancy. The mum-of-two-to-be could be seen popping out for some fuel as she was pictured outside a 'to go' cafe hatch. Her blossomed baby bump could be seen as she smiled for the camera while sporting some dark joggers and a black tee under a pink fleece jacket.
