Gemma Atkinson has said it is “sad but true” that one of the few close friends she told about her baby news tried to sell the story before she announced it publicly. The former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actress announced that she and fiance Gorka Marquez are expecting their second child together last month.
The pair met when Gemma in 2017 when Gemma was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing. They already share a daughter, called Mia, who was born in July 2019, and they are now set to welcome a baby boy to their family, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Both Gemma and Gorka posted a string of black and white images to their Instagram pages when they announced the news. They included a sweet snap of Mai putting her head against Gemma's bump and a selfie taken by Gorka of the three together, as they wait to become a family of four – or six if you include dogs Ollie and Norman.
