Gemma Atkinson emotional and says she 'could not believe it' over unexpected surprise as she prepares for arrival of new baby

Gemma Atkinson has told of her amazement after returning to The Royal Bolton Hospital ahead of the birth of her second child. The pregnant actress and broadcaster from Bury was back at the hospital where she gave birth to daughter Mia by emergency C-section.

There was a special moment as her obstetrician turned out to be the woman who brought her little girl safely into the world in July 2019. Gemma was emotional to have the chance to say thank you, after Mia made a dramatic arrival by caesarean when the baby's heart rate dropped with every contraction.

The Hits Radio presenter and former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks star said in a video posted on her Instagram Stories: "So I've been back at Bolton today. I've had an appointment with my obstetrician and when she walked in the room it was unbelievable. It was the same lady who delivered Mia."
