Gemma Atkinson and her boyfriend Gorka Marquez are expecting their first baby together.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ and ‘Emmerdale’ star – who started dating Gorka after she appeared on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in 2017 – logged on to her Instagram account on Friday morning (01.02.19) to announce she is pregnant and share her "excitement" with all her followers.
The 34-year-old blonde beauty posted a picture of the couple’s two dogs, Norm and Ollie, who were wearing signs around their neck which read: "Guess what … mum’s pregnant. We’re going to be big brothers!"
Gemma captioned the post: "And what Amazing big brothers they will be! Myself & Gorks are beyond excited and happy and feel incredibly blessed to be meeting our new family member later this year. Baby Marquez!!! We love you loads already @gorka_marquez (sic)"
Dancer Gorka, 28, posted the same image of the pooches on his Instagram account and wrote a caption praising his gorgeous partner.
He wrote: "@glouiseatkinson Thank you for the greatest gift in life. Myself and Gem are beyond thrilled to be welcoming our new family member later this year! Baby Marquez. (sic)"
The couple confirmed their romance last year whilst they were on the ‘Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour’.
Gemma was partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec on the BBC One ballroom contest and reached the final but behind-the-scenes she got close and fell in love with Gorka – who had been partnered with singer Alexandra Burke with whom he made the final too.
