While another gushed: "How wonderful have the best time."

The seasoned soap star is engaged to Strictly pro Gorka, who she met on the set of the BBC show, however Gemma recently revealed they'd had to postpone their wedding because of their schedules.

She told New magazine: “Gorka is literally on tour all of this year. We’ve only got four days off together.

“He’s got the two Strictly tours back to back, and then he’ll be going on Strictly in the autumn. We don’t even have a minute to sit down and begin making plans!”

Gemma explained the couple would like to have a small wedding abroad when they finally get round to it.

However, she also admitted there had been “zero planning” because Covid setbacks, calling herself “the most disorganised, chilled out bride ever”.

The exciting news is that another baby could be on the cards.

Speaking to former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison’s The Secret To podcast, the mum-of-one revealed: "We’ve said we would prefer to try for another baby rather than have a big, fancy wedding.

“There are people who will spend £50k on a wedding and you think ‘Oh my God.’

“Twice we thought about going to the registry office and just doing it - and then having a big party."

Gemma and Gorka made great friends with the Strictly gang during their time on the show and will no doubt invite them to their big day.

Recalling her experience on the BBC programme, the actress gushed: "My favourite show was Strictly because I met Gorka on there.

"Strictly was the job that changed my whole life. As a result of that show I have my fiancé and little girl."
