Pregnant Gemma Atkinson offers baby update as she's seen with 'new midwife' after sharing new plan for daughter

Gemma Atkinson has confirmed to fans that she is still very much pregnant as she eagerly awaits the arrival of her second child. The Hits Radio host is heavily pregnant with a baby boy after revealing she was expecting back in January with her Strictly Come Dancing star fiancé Gorka Marquez.

The couple have been sharing updates on their second pregnancy after welcoming their first child, daughter Mia, four years ago in July 2019. But it appears their unborn son may be delaying his arrival into the world after Gemma previously confirmed she'd passed the 38 week marks.

She also said back in April that she had been told her 'little man' could arrive at "any time from the back few weeks in June to the front few weeks in July" after sharing why she hadn't asked for a specific 'due date'.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday (July 9), Gemma could be seen in the garden of the family's Greater Manchester home. She had her blossoming baby bump on display as four-year-old Mia tended to her. "Today's midwife," the 38-year-old wrote alongside the sweet video.

"I know he's really hot," Mia said as she touched her mum's tummy while out in the warm sunshine. Gemma then shared a follow-up video as she spoke directly to the camera, admitting that a few of her followers had been in touch saying she and Gorka had been 'quiet', getting them thinking their son had made his entrance into the world.

"I know loads of you said we went quiet and thought we'd had him but no, what it is, I'm conscious at the minute," the Bury-born star said in the video posted to her 1.8m followers on her Instagram Story.

"Mia likes watching videos on my phone, don't you," she added as her daughter sat on her lap. "You like watching Taylor Swift, Shake It Off. And I told her she can only watch it once because I don't want her looking at the screen on the phone.

"And it dawned on me, I'm telling her not to and I am. It's a bit hypocritical so we've had less phone time and me and Gorka went to go and see Indiana Jones yesterday as well which was nice... But yeah, it just dawned on me [that] if I'm telling her [Mia] she can't be looking at the screen on the phone as much, then I shouldn't either. And it was actually nice. It's actually nice not to be on it all the time."

Gemma also typed alongside her post: "Trying to lead by example," alongside a face palm emoji and a crying laughing emoji. "Makes no sense me telling her she can't use it when I am so we both had a day off and it was actually lovely. P.S. Loved Indiana Jones.

Gorka, meanwhile, shared videos of the family-of-three out with their pet dogs. "Started the day with a long walk hoping to encourage little fella out," Gemma confessed as she reshared the video to her own Instagram Story.
