Gemma Atkinson and fiance Gorka Marquez are enjoying treasured time with three-year-old daughter Mia ahead of welcoming their second child, and the Hits Radio star looked stunning in a new batch of holiday snaps shared by her man. Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka posted a loved-up picture of himself and Gemma, one of the doting dad and Mia strolling hand-in-hand on the sand, and of the trio smiling together on the camera.
"Sunday Sunsets" the dancing heartthrob captioned the Instagram post as the compliments and well-wishes came pouring in. Gemma, 38, from Bury, showed off her growing baby bump in a yellow gingham patterned bikini as Gorka, 32, planted a kiss on her shoulder.
As the compliments came pouring in down-to-earth Gemma, who is expecting a baby boy this summer, saw the funny side. "Laughing that the pics are all calm and lovely and after, for me to stand you had to hoist me up like I was in quick sand," she replied with laughing emojis.

Gemma previously told, in a body confident post, how she had packed some beach trousers to wear after feeling swollen and bloated and saying she'd 'never had as much cellulite in her life.' She says four years older after her first pregnancy it has been harder on her body.
But the former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale actress decided to ditch the trousers from day one of the holiday after thinking about the 'negative effect' it could have on Mia. The star has since been wearing her bikinis every day.
"I bought some beach trousers to wear on this holiday, because even though im aware why it’s happening and how clever my body is, I’ve never been as swollen, bloated, uncomfortable in every day tasks and had as much cellulite in my life," she explained as she took to Instagram with a video of mother and daughter having fun on the sand.
"My boobs alone are three cup sizes up! Second pregnancy, almost four years older and with a little boy this time it’s been a lot harder on my body. (I know how we feel about our bodies is relevant to the individual and it’s just how I currently feel in MY body) I got to the beach on day one of this holiday, looked at Mia playing and I suddenly felt relaxed. It dawned on me if I kept them on that she’d ask why I’m in trousers and I thought about the negative effect It could have on her down the line me saying 'because mummy’s legs & bum are a lot bigger than usual.'"
She continued: "I don’t ever want her to feel like she should cover herself, especially on the beach! So the pants came in handy to wipe up my non alcoholic cocktail but other than that, they haven’t been needed! Ive worn my bikinis every day. "
Gemma added: "The top of my thighs chaffed like a MF but we had an absolute blast on the beach and made the most incredible memories as a family. I can’t belive next time we’ll have little man with us as a family of four. We’re so lucky and so blessed."
