Gemma Atkinson was emotional and said her mascara was running after friends sprang a surprise baby shower for her. The 38-year-old Hits Radio host, who is pregnant with her second child with Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka Marquez, was treated to a celebration when she thought she was going to a business meeting as president of Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary in Edenfield.
In a video clip shared on her Instagram Stories Gemma, who is expecting a baby boy this summer, said she was still in shock from the thoughtful surprise. "Well I'm still in shock from that surprise baby shower," she said into the camera. "Crikey my mascara's ran," she said. "I thought I was going for a meeting."
Animal lover Gemma, who has two dogs Ollie and Norman, thought she was going to discuss the next open day at Bleakholt so was stunned to find cakes, treats and gifts waiting for her with the ladies that she took part with in the CoppaFeel! cancer charity challenge. "They all drove from all over the place," said a grateful Gemma. "They've got so much stuff going on and s*** to deal with. It was really really lovely."
