Gemma Atkinson says 'help me' over labour 'fear' as Gorka Marquez says 'can you believe it' over her pre-birth moves

Gemma Atkinson was left jokingly unimpressed as she feared her waters breaking while hosting a guest at her Greater Manchester home with Gorka Marquez. The Hits Radio is counting down to welcoming her second child any day now after announcing she was expecting earlier this year.

Gemma, from Bury, and her Strictly Come Dancing star fiance Gorka Marquez, who she met when a contestant on the BBC One dance show in 2017, confirmed the joyous news in January and confirmed that are planning to welcome a baby boy into the world after Gemma gave birth to their first child, daughter Mia, back in 2019.

Since sharing her happy news, Gemma, 38, has been keeping her fans and followers updated on social media and on Monday evening (June 19), it appears the mum-of-two-to-be wasn't sure on those she had around her if she were to go into labour.

Sharing a picture of a smiling Gorka, 32, with their pal Fraser Knox. As they sat at the dining table ready to eat a homecooked meal, which dancer Gorka had been seen whipping up on the BBQ during the last of the recent sunshine in Greater Manchester, the pair smiled for Gemma who was taking the snap.

Sharing the photo with her 1.8m followers on her Instagram Story, she wrote: "@frasweknox9 has come to stay for a few days. God help me if my waters go now with these two," before proving she was just being a bit tongue-in-cheek by adding a crying laughing and face palm emoji.

But by Tuesday morning (June 20), Gorka was left in awe of his fiancee as they both took part in some morning stretches before the rest of the house woke up and got on with the day. "Stretching my legs and Gemma's still stretching," the Spanish dancer said as he filmed himself and his partner both with the legs spread wide in the living room of their home.

"Gemma will be stretching until the last day," he added. But when he referenced her 'little bump', Gemma replied: "Little bump?" as she lifted up her white t-shirt to show her almost full-term bump to the camera.

"I meant, can you believe it?" Gorka then said as he continued to film former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star Gemma as she didn't let her pregnancy bump get in the way of her morning routine. "She's pregnant with a bump and she's going lower than me," he added.

Sharing the video to her Instagram Story, Gemma typed: "Only think keeping me comfy is a good stretch daily." But she also couldn't help but make a cheeky dig at her other half as she added: "And I've always been more supple then you Gorks."

It comes after Gemma shared a sweet Instagram post of her fiance to celebrate Father’s Day over the weekend. The radio and TV star posted a series of photos of her man with their daughter Mia.

"Happy Father’s Day! Your last one as just a girl dad," Gemma penned. "They say a dad is his son's first hero and his daughter's first love. It’s definitely the case so far for you and Mia. Enjoy your day @gorka_marquez and thanks for looking after us all."
