Gemma Atkinson has given a little cheeky insight into her relationship with Gorka Marquez as he appears to be pining for his pregnant fiancee. The Strictly Come Dancing star is currently away from home as he headed off for work last week leaving Gemma 'riding solo' with their daughter, Mia.
Gorka, 32, is currently preparing to hit the road with his co-star on the BBC One show and his off-screen dance partner Karen Hauer as they bring their Firedance 2023 tour to venues across the country - including The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.
Gemma, who is pregnant with the couple's second child, shared the news on Instagram after her fiance left the couple's Greater Manchester home. In a video posted to her Instagram Story, the 38-year-old said: "I'm riding solo so my house is going to be on it's a**e which is fine, it always is. Probably knackered but hey ho. Keeping moving is what they say. Lean with it rock with it. It's what you gotta do."

It appears Gorka is looking forward to when he can get back home to his partner, who he met when she competed on Strictly in 2017.
Re-sharing a video of two adorable dogs cuddling up and napping together, Gorka wrote on his Instagram Story: "Me as soon as I get home..." before tagging his wife-to-be, who also revealed the pair are preparing to welcome a baby boy when they announced their wonderful pregnancy news last month, and adding a love heart eye emoji.
Gemma then rehsared the post and fave a further insight - particularly into the romantic side of their relationship. She typed: "This is true, which for me is only doable [for] 40 secs. Then I have to do a Ross on Friends and roll him off so I can starfish," adding a crying laughing emoji.
The former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star was referring to the scene in the episode titled The One With The Jam in which Ross, played by David Schwimmer, teaches his pal Chandler, who was portrayed by Matthew Perry, how to successfully roll his girlfriend over, without waking her, so they could both enjoy a comfortable night's sleep.
However later, when Chandler tried the trick for himself on on-off girlfirned Janice, he ended up rolling Janice off the bed and she found herself with her arm in a sling. And it appears he told Janice what Ross was doing as she let slip the trick to Rachel who ended up annoyed at Ross' actions.
Sharing a clip of the scene which sees Ross showing Chandler what to do, Gemma jokingly shared: "In my case, hug for him!" alongside multiple crying laughing emojis.
Last month, Gemma and Gorka announced the joyous news they were set to become parents for a second time after Gemma's growing baby bump started to become 'impossible' to hide. They shared the news alongside a string of black and white images which Gemma and dancer Gorka both posted to their Instagram pages.
One image showed Gemma gazing at her blossoming bump before she grinned for a selfie with her husband-to-be and their little girl as they wait to become a family-of-four - or six if you include Gemma's beloved dogs Ollie and Norman.
"Impossible to hide my belly any longer. I’ve officially 'popped'," she wrote in the caption to her millions of followers. "Our baby boy will be joining our family later this year." She added: "We feel so incredibly blessed and Grateful to be on this journey again. Mia is absolutely thrilled! Although we may need to do some negotiating on names, as so far she’s adamant he’s going to be called Barbie."
Radio and TV star Gemma, from Bury, has since been offering her loyal followers updated on her pregnancy, including revealing that her pregnancy announcement may not have happened when it did but that she and Gorka 'got there first' after one of the 14 close friends and family members they told tried to sell the story.
