Gemma Atkinson shares support for NHS after hiring private midwife

Gemma Atkinson has explained to fans why she chose to pay for a private midwife amid the NHS crisis, and shared a message of support to those who are striking.

The former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks star is expecting her second baby, a boy, with fiancé Gorka Marquez. The 38-year-old told her Instagram followers earlier this week she is "just over four months" along.

Taking to her Instagram stories again on Wednesday, Gemma said she and Gorka have chosen a private midwife service to "oversee" the pregnancy this time.
