Gemma Atkinson mortified by daughter's 'pregnancy' announcement at nursery

Gemma Atkinson was left red-faced after her daughter Mia told her toddler club she was going to become a big sister.

The Hits Radio star, 37, and her Strictly Come Dancing fiancé Gorka Marquez recently enjoyed a trip to Spain with their three-year-old daughter where they reunited with Gorka's family.

Now they're back home, it seems Mia has misunderstood her mum's changing body.

"Mia's told a lot of the teachers at nursery that I'm pregnant," she told her co-host Mike Toolan during their drivetime radio show.

Mike seemed shocked at the announcement and replied: "You're pregnant? I thought it was just a bit of holiday weight."

Gemma reassured him she isn't pregnant and had just put on weight after her trip to Bilbao.

The former Hollyoaks star continued: "She's told four of the staff at toddlers I'm pregnant.

"Gorka picked her up on Monday and when I got back from work he said to her, 'Tell mummy what you said today,' and she got a bit funny."

Gemma said Mia had stood up in front of everyone and said: "I've got something to say, my mummy's got a baby in her tummy."

Mia has already decided Gemma is going to be giving birth to a girl who will be called Annabelle.

Gemma had to then tell her daughter she wasn't going to be a big sister just yet, much to her disbelief.

Mia thought her mum was expecting after seeing her rub her tummy. Gemma later explained she had a bug while on holiday, which is why she was holding her stomach.

Mike told Gemma that Mia has a "creative mind", as she recalled her mum saying Mia may have a "sixth sense".

Gemma has previously told Manchester Evening News that her and Gorka will "definitely have more babies one day," but it seems she isn't quite ready just yet.
