Gemma Atkinson celebrated her baby shower without Gorka Marquez on Sunday afternoon (23.06.19).
The former ‘Emmerdale’ actress – who is expecting her first child with the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional – took to her Instagram account to reveal that she was "emotional" that her baby shower had come round so quickly and explained that the 28-year-old professional dancer couldn’t be there because he is on the ‘Strictly Come Dancing Live’ tour.
Opening up about the bash on her Instagram Stories, she said: "So today is my baby shower. It’s come round so quick, and I’ve got no idea what’s happening, the girls have arranged it, I’m just turning up, so I know it’ll be great because they’re great.
"All my family are downstairs, we’re going to set off, I’m trying not to get emotional. But yeah, not long now, Baby Marquez will be here.
"Obviously Gorks can’t be here, he’s on tour at the minute, but … yeah. Baby’s already spoilt with loads of gifts. It’s a baby shower – I can’t drink and none of the gifts are for me!"
And Gemma, 34, went on to thank her family and friends for arranging the special day, which included "afternoon tea and cake".
She captioned a photo series of her baby shower: "Such a wonderful surprise baby shower!! Cannot Thank my family and friends enough for all making the effort to come and celebrate with me and Baby Marquez and for bringing so many lovely gifts.
"Afternoon tea and cake and of course, Prosecco and cafe patron for guests. Top day! @nat3891 @laurahob_x @marisag86 @vicky_owens @gem_thompson7 @anoushkaaaax @livcosgrovee (sic)"
Gorka also took to social media to wish his partner the "best time" and insisted he "can’t wait" until the tot is born.
He captioned a photo of his beau: "HAPPY BABY SHOWER. Wish I could be there today with you @glouiseatkinson , even though it’s a girls thing and you would be kicking me out anyway.
"Have the best time celebrating with family and friends! Can’t wait for baby marquez arrive and see the awesome mama you are!!! I love you (sic)"
