Gemma Atkinson shares brilliantly honest pregnancy update after hitting back at troll saying it doesn't 'suit her'

Gemma Atkinson has shared a brilliant representation of how she feels as she nears the end of her pregnancy. The Hits Radio host's maternity leave is in full swing and she's just weeks away from welcoming her second child into the world with fiance Gorka Marquez.

Gemma, 38, and Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka, 32, revealed back in January that they are expanding their brood and are set to welcome a baby boy this summer after they became first-time parents back in 2019 to daughter Mia.

Since revealing they were expanding their brood, Gemma, from Bury, has been keeping her followers updated with her honest social media posts and earlier this week, she gave a positive update on her unborn 'little man'. Sharing the snap with her 1.8 million followers on her Instagram Story, the mum-of-two-to-be bared her blossoming bump.

As she smiled with her top pulled up to show her belly in the image, she wrote alongside it: "Had my appointment with @private_midwives yesterday. Little man is exactly where he needs to be. Head down arse up. Head is well and truly down there now which I’m reminded of every time I walk, sit, get in and out the car or pick up Mia."

Adding in a couple of crying laughing emojis, Gemma jokingly added a speech bubble coming from one of her adorable dog's head saying "what’s in there" as he looked up at her during the taking of the mirror selfie.

And on Thursday night (June 8), Gemma showed she's still very much pregnant as she joked about the reality of being with child. Sharing a picture of a whimsical and fairy-like woman cradling her stomach, she typed on her Instagram Story: "How I thought I'd feel during my 2nd pregnancy..."

Before then following up the post in a second Instagram Story with a picture of a bear with a small head but huge body. "How I actually feel," alongside a face palm emoji and crying laughing face.

Gemma's bump update comes days after she hit back at a cruel troll who said pregnancy 'doesn't fit her well'. Following a comment under one of her Instagram posts the former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star said to the camera as she sat outside in her garden: "Quick question, do you mean suit me... pregnancy doesn't suit me well?

"Fit me well doesn't make sense does it hun, because nothing fits me. My bras, my knickers, my old face don't fit my head. It's pregnancy, it's what happens. I'm sure you mean suit, just checking... before you troll someone, get it right. Pregnancy doesn't suit her would've been better than doesn't fit her well... just for next time."
