Gemma Atkinson 'proud' as she compares family to mix of Pheonix Nights and Shameless

Gemma Atkinson has compared her family to a mix of Pheonix Nights and Shameless - and she says she's 'proud'. The Hits Radio host made the comments in an Instagram post as she paid tribute to her mum on her birthday.

She shared a string of images with her millions of followers, showing her with her mum, Sandra, when she was just a baby to holidaying together as adults. And it wouldn't be a birthday post without something slightly mortifying making its way in and so Gemma couldn't not sure a video of her mum in a bit of difficulty while out on a walk.

"Happiest of Birthdays to my mum Sandra," the 38-year-old started her post. "The matriarch and Glue to our family. What would we do without you. My aim in life is to be as good a mum as you are." Referencing the video, Gemma typed: "Ps. Sorry for the last slide, couldn’t resist," alongside a laughing emoji.
