Gemma Atkinson slams trolls branding her 'tubby' ahead of birth of second baby

Gemma Atkinson has slammed vile trolls branding her 'tubby' as she gets set to welcome her second baby.

The ex-Hollyoaks actress, is engaged to Strictly's Gorka Marquez and the couple already share three-year-old daughter Mia, but are preparing to add another child to their family.

Gemma usually posts fitness content on her social media pages, however she's recently received horrible comments from online trolls who she calls "p***ks on Twitter ", writes The Mirror.

Replying to comments that said she 'let herself go,' Gemma fumed: "I'm growing and creating life. My son. And for that blessing, I'll take all of the above and more, including the p***ks on Twitter.

"It's always guys who [post offensive comments] and I always think: 'Would they say that to their mum when they were expecting?

"Ultimately, whether you're carrying a bigger bump or a smaller bump, you're going to get it [negative comments] because there's always going to be someone who's not happy with how you look. It blows my mind that they care so much about someone else's body," writes The Sun.

Earlier this year, Gemma and Gorka announced they were expecting a son.

Gemma said she was relieved her partner decided to skip the Strictly tour at the beginning of the year to support her through the early stages of her pregnancy.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, she said: “I was very fortunate that Gorka was off for the whole of January. It was great having him at home on the days where I was super-tired. The Strictly team were fantastic letting him not do the tour, because he didn’t want to be away when I was quite poorly.

"But it was bizarre, because we were reading comments saying that he’d been axed and was leaving the show. I was like: ‘Oh no, people think you’ve been dropped.’ He said: ‘I don’t care.’ He doesn’t bother about anything like that.”

She went on to say that Gorka's work schedule will continue to revolve around her pregnancy as they await the arrival of their baby boy.

Gorka will take on the Strictly Come Dancing : The Professionals tour in May, before taking leave in June and July - when the baby is due.
