Gemma Atkinson has thanked well-wishers for their messages after announcing that she's expecting her second child with fiance Gorka Marquez. Former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale actress Gemma, who welcomed a daughter Mia with Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka in July 2019, told fans in a joyous Instagram post that the couple are having a baby boy, due later this year.
Taking to Instagram Stories, a smiling Gemma, 38, said she feels "very, very lucky." She said: "Thank you everyone for your lovely messages and well wishes. It's lovely. Number two. Number two, and a little boy. Crikey, a little boy. So lucky. Very, very lucky."
The doting mum, who met Gorka, 32, when she was a finalist on the BBC One dance contest Strictly in 2017, joked that she's "prepared for chaos." "My sister's got two lads and a girl so fully prepared for the chaos," she said. "Cannot wait, bring it on."
