Gemma Atkinson shows incredible mural in daughter's room as she opens up about second pregnancy and tells why two is enough

Gemma Atkinson has shown off a stunning mural in her daughter's bedroom after making a change ahead of the birth of her second child. The sneak peek at the incredible design came as the Hits Radio host opened up to her followers about her pregnancy after confirming she is expected back in January.

Gemma and her Strictly Come Dancing star fiance Gorka Marquez shared the joyous news that they were adding a baby boy to their family alongside a string of black and white images posted to their Instagram pages after the mum-to-be said it was "impossible" to hide her growing bump any longer. Since then, Gemma, 38, has been keeping her loyal social media followers updated on her pregnancy.

Last week, Gemma shared how the couple are planning a change to their Greater Manchester abode ahead of their son's arrival. Talking to the camera in one of their empty bedrooms, the pregnant star said: "Big day today... Mia's moving into her big bedroom."

She then explained: "Well, she's not moving into it today but we're decorating it today because I want to get her into her big room before little man comes. Obviously, he'll be in our room for a little bit but then he'll go in her room and I don't want her to think she's been turfed out."

It is then she revealed how she reached out to a businesswoman on Instagram who paints murals meaning Mia is going to have a spectacular display in her grown-up bedroom. And on Tuesday (March 28), the former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks star gave an update as she implored her followers to ask her a question during some quiet time before work.

"How's Mia's artwork wall coming along?" one of Gemma's followers asked to which she replied with a video giving a close-up look at some of the princess-inspired display. "She's actually drawn Mia," Gemma typed back with a face holding back tears emojis. The short video showed the mural included a sign which read: 2Mia's Magic Fairy Forest," before she showed intricate drawings of a fairy and unicorn.

A rainbow also flew across the wall while in the middle, the talented painted had drawn three-year-old Mia's face onto a fairy's body, sporting a blue dress and with long blonde hair tied by a pink scrunchie. Gemma then added: "She's starting little man's room today."

Gemma also answered loads of questions about her pregnancy, including sharing why two is the magic number when it comes to the number of children she and dancer Gorka, 32, want to have. "Will you stop at two babies as you have one of each?" She was asked to which she replied: "Absolutely!"

She then brilliantly added: "We don't want to be outnumbered," alongside a crying laughing emoji. Gemma as also asked whether she was nervous about going from one child to two to which she said: "No, I'm excited. When I found out I was pregnant I instantly lowered my expectations of everything else being perfect. My appearance, the state of my house, my sleep, it's gonna be chaos. But we're so lucky to be able to do it all again. It's all worth it."
