Gemma Atkinson 'living life' as she shares video from bath during Spanish getaway with Gorka Marquez

Gemma Atkinson looked like she was having the best time as she escaped the Christmas lull often felt between the big day and the New Year and headed to Spain. The Hits Radio host and her fiance, Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez, jetted off on their family getaway with their daughter, Mia.

On Tuesday (December 27), the family shared a video of themselves jumping in their luxury cab and heading off to the airport. Gemma then later shared a video of Mia getting stuck into more presents, appearing to show them at Gorka's family's home in Spain. "Papa Noel has been to Abuela's," she typed with 'Abuela' meaning Grandmother in Spanish.

Meanwhile, Gorka, who made it all the way to the final of the BBC One dance contest earlier this month, shared snaps of himself and Gemma with three-year-old Mia on the plane. The family-of-three could be seen sticking their tongue out at the camera while a second image showed Gemma and Gorka getting through their journey with a coffee.

"We landed," the 32-year-old captioned the photos which were soon being commented on, including from Gorka's latest dance partner Helen Skelton who sweetly replied: "Enjoy gang," while fellow dancer Neil Jones said: "Have a great time you deserve it bro."

Gemma, 38, and Gorka have since been posting updates on their trip to their Instagram Stories and on Wednesday (December 28), Gemma said she was 'living life' after heading on a hunt for a swimming costume and some pick 'n' mix. Filming herself as she walked through the streets of Bilbao, she said to the camera: "Gorks and Mia have gone swimming in the hotel...

"I've forgotten my costume so my job is to go an locate a pick 'n' mix and a costume... I ain't buying a costume for three days if that!" She then continued with her quest, calling herself 'Dora the Explorer' with her backpack and it wasn't long before she found a shop with a gigantic sweet display.

And Gemma's next story showed her enjoying a bit of a groove while chilling in the bath, surrounded by bubbles. The mum-of-one had pulled her hair up into a bun sot hat it didn't get wet and had an eye mask resting on her head. Tucking into the sweets she had not long ago acquired, Gemma penned: "Pic N Mix in the bath. Living mi life," alongside a crying laughing emoji.

But she soon had a visitor. Filming Mia as she lifted some of the soapy suds from out the tub, Gemma sang: "There's no such thing as a relaxing bath..." before asking her little girl: "Can you bring me some of your pick n mix? Ready... I'll time yoyu. Quick!"

She is then heard saying: "How many of you have done that?" before writing across the clip "Parent trick we ALL do. 'I'll time ya, go!' [crying laughing emoji]."
