Gemma Atkinson strips to swimwear for home ice bath in glimpse at morning routine before heading to the salon

Gemma Atkinson gave her loyal followers a glimpse into her morning routine which included stripping off for a freezing ice bath. The Hits Radio host took to Instagram early on Wednesday morning (October 12) as she and her beau Gorka Marquez had a quick coffee before heading out ot their home gym for a training session.

But Gemma, 37, didn't appear to impressed by her Strictly Come Dancing star fiance's choice of channel as the put the TV on in their gorgeous Greater Manchester home. The Bury-born TV and radio star filmed herself sipping her hot drink as Gorka, 34, looked engrossed by what was on the screen.

"It's that time again," she whispered. "Spanish news..." Gemma looked slightly confused as she asked her Spanish-born man: "Why is it showing a meteorite or summat?" He replied: "It's been crashed." A panicked Gemma then asked: "In space? Does it effect Earth?"

And Gemma wasn't happy with Gorka's response as she said: "See, this is why we shouldn't watch the news! Don't need to know that first thing in the morning." It wasn't long before the fitness fan was taking her mind of the space-based news and heading for her morning workout.

She then returned to social media as Gorka videoed her tentatively getting herself into an ice bath the couple had installed at their family home, which they share with their three-year-old daughter, Mia. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed as she put both her feet and legs into the freezing water.

"Just breathe," Gorka, who is also a fan of an ice bath," said from behind the camera. The former Hollyoaks and EastEnders actress could be seen in a pink crop top and black pants as she plunged herself into the bath, breathing heavily as she sat in the chilling temperatures. "It's weird when you're in it that it actually feels nice," the mum-of-one eventually admitted.

"Love/hate relationship with the ice bath," Gemma typed alongside the clip. "I hate getting in it, BUT when I'm in, I enjoy it, and after I LOVE it." But she couldn't stay in too long as she had a salon appointment to get to.

Taking to Instagram, Gemma could be seen sitting in the hairdresser's chair as she pondered what her stylist would be doing today. She later returned to the social media platform to show off the results - and she looked gorgeous. As she sat in her car outside the salon in Wilmslow, Cheshire, she swished her freshly dyed and trimmed tresses around.

"Ems worked her magic again," Gemma said referring to her hairdresser, Emily Rose Monk. "Look at that. Look at that colour!" Gemma said as she showed off her new locks to the camera. "She's so good! Nice and blonde again but without being yellow or striped. Love it!"
