Gemma Atkinson has said she "can't wait" for "the chaos" after revealing she is pregnant with her second child.
The 38-year-old former Hollyoaks actress revealed to fans that she and her fiancé Gorka Marquez are expecting a baby boy after welcoming daughter Mia in 2019.
Soon-to-be mum-of-two Gemma posted three stunning photos of herself to announce the news with her 1.8 million Instagram followers.
Following the happy news, fans and friends flooded the comments section of the post with messages of congratulations.
And later, Gemma shared her gratitude towards the kind words in a video posted on her Instagram story. As she spoke about becoming a mum-of-two she shared her excitement for the "chaos".
Gemma glowed as she went makeup-free and wore a burgundy jumper and said: "Thank you everyone for all your lovely, lovely messages and well wishes, it's lovely."
Taking a pause Gemma said: "Number two. Number two and a little boy. Crikey, a little boy. How lucky – very, very lucky. But, yeah prepared for chaos.
"My sister has got two lads and a girl. So [I'm] fully prepared for the chaos, cannot wait! Bring it on."
In another clip, Gemma also gave a shout out to the clinic she and her fiancé Gorka used to have an ultrasound scan in the early days of her pregnancy.
Gemma said: "I just want to say a huge, huge thank you to Hey Baby 4D Scanning in Radcliff – not an ad, not a gift."
Gemma's daughter interrupted her mum as she excitedly said: "Mummy has a baby coming," which caused Gemma to smile and Gorka to laugh.
She then revealed she and Gorka have known for some time they were expecting another child as she said: "We found out really early this time. Gorka was still doing Strictly when we found out, so we obviously went for scans and stuff.
"And I had to make that cringy phone call of: 'My fella's currently working on a massive show and just don't know if we're okay so can we try...' and how amazing were they?
"They opened up early for us to go in. And they were literally around the corner from where my Nana and Granddad used to live.
"So yeah, they were just amazing. Again, not an ad, not gifted. We did it all by the book but they've just been wonderful and yeah, the local so highly recommend..."
Gemma's daughter then stroked her face as the actress asked Mia: "Are you looking after me," the tot then touched Gemma's eye, who then said: "Yeah, poking me in the eye? Nice."
It comes after Gemma shared the happy news she was expecting a second child.
As she posted a trio of black and white photos to show off her blossoming bump and pose with Gorka and Mia, she wrote in the caption: "Impossible to hide my belly any longer. I’ve officially “popped.”
"Our baby boy will be joining our family later this year
"We feel so incredibly blessed and Grateful to be on this journey again. Mia is absolutely thrilled! Although we may need to do some negotiating on names, as so far she’s adamant he’s going to be called Barbie."
