Loved-up Gorka, who met Gemma when she was a finalist in the 2017 series of Strictly, tugged on heartstrings as he wrote heartfelt words for the former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale actress. "Happy Mother's Day to the best one!!" he said.

And he added: "Like Mía says... We lovee you for hundreds of years @glouiseatkinson #mothersday #happmothersday #hmd." Gemma, who announced in January that she is pregnant with their second child, replied: "Thank you!" And she told her man with a stream of love hearts: "I love you."

Gemma, who is expecting a baby boy due this summer, recently shared her first scan picture since her joyous pregnancy announcement along with a motivational video which showed her through various stages of her life but with one thing remainingconstant - exercise.

The keen fitness advocate could be seen working out at the gym over the years as well as in training for Strictly Come Dancing with her pro dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec. The video also saw Gemma and Gorka, who got engaged on Valentine's Day 2021, working out together as well as away on holiday where the pair could be seen taking in the sea views under the sun.

There were also pictures of Gemma during her first pregnancy with daughter Mia and when she was first born. The video then sweetly ended with a video of one of Gemma's scans clearly showing her and Gorka's growing unborn son.

"Grateful I get to be on this journey again," she said. "The aches, swelling, niggles, changes all happening again," she typed alongside the video set to a motivational speech from Fearless Motivation, titled Struggle Makes You Stronger.
