Gemma Atkinson saw the funny side as she shared how she had been told NOT to marry her fiance Gorka Marquez from one of her social media followers. It appears the fan got the wrong idea when it came to the radio presenter's relationship with the Strictly Come Dancing star.

. "I got a message today Tools that I feel like I have to you 'cos I think you'll find it funny," Gemma said live on the show. Mike was instantly intrigued and said: "Oh, go on!"

Gemma then proceeded to explain: "You know how on social media you always have now and again, come across, they call them a troll. I get some which I find quite funny so I always send it to the group [chat]." Confirming the message was sent on Instagram, she wen on to read it out.

The mum-of-one said: "So they messaged me and it could be coming from a nice place who knows but it says, 'I know you like a certain amount of freedom but are you sure Gorka's the right person for you? He's always enjoying himself why you struggle with Mia [the couple's daughter] and normal life. Don't marry him!'"

Mike burst out laughing and Gemma. who said 'yes' when Gorka popped the question on Valentine's Day in 2021, followed. He then said: "You don't struggle with Mia," to which Gemma replied: "I know I don't. She's a joy, bless her." Mike wanted to go back over the message as he asked: "Go back to the beginning of that message. So he's always away 'enjoying himself'? He's working."

Former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks star Gemma agreed and replied: "I said yesterday he's desperate to come home. He's even looked at changing his flight to come home early. But because on the 'Gram he's put a picture of a beach , he's 'enjoying himself' and I'm 'struggling'."

Mike then said: "Haters going to hate, girlfriend!" which made Gemma laugh before he said: "You get those quite a lot of those sort of haters..." Gemma interjected: "The judgy ones?" to which Mike said: "I don't because I think people are jealous of your life but people look at me and they feel nothing but pity."

It comes after Gemma clapped back at one of those messages she received after posting a racy throwback snap. She was sharing how she was looking forward to the new Pamela Anderson documentary coming to Netflix and found of photo from her calendar days when she used the Baywatch icon as her insperation.

The racy snap showed Gemma, 38, all bronzed and posing for the camera in a patterned bikini with her blonde locks all voluminous and tussled. The former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actress typed: "And she was genuinely the inspo behind this calendar!" She added: "I specifically said, 'I want hair like Pamela Anderson.'"

But in Gemma's next post, she appeared to come across a rather negative response to her sexy calander shot. She shared a screenshot of the message which read: "That's awful... You're better than that." But the ex-Strictly finalist, from Bury, was quick to clap back. "This was tam hun!" she penned.

"Should have seen the year previous... Whay!" she added, adding a string of melon emojis and crying laughing faces. She alsos et to the response to the Cardi B track, WAP."
