Pregnant Gemma Atkinson says she's 'chilling' as she gives baby update and details party plans

Gemma Atkinson has said he's 'chilling' as she gave an update from home as she prepares to welcome her second child. The Hits Radio host is counting down the days to giving birth to her first son after revealing she expecting another child with fiance Gorka Marquez earlier this year.

Gemma, from Bury, and Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka are preparing to welcome a baby boy into the world any day now after confirming the joyous news back in January. It also comes almost four years after Gemma gave birth to their first child, daughter Mia, back in 2019.

Since announcing the happy news, Gemma, 38, has been keeping her fans and followers updated but has been quieter in recent days as she's busy planning a party for her little girl after deciding to mark Mia's birthday earlier with a bash for her nursery friends this weekend before she turns four on July 4.

But her latest update started with Gorka, 32, sharing a video showing how his space in the garden of the couple's Greater Manchester home had quickly been taken over after he nipped inside for a snack. Appearing shirtless in the sunshine in a video on his Instagram Story, the dancer said: "So I left [for] five minutes to get a biscuit and look at the plan here..."

He then turned the camera to show one of Gemma's beloved dogs lying on a big soft cushion. "Chilling," he said before a laugh could be heard coming from Gemma in the background. As he continued to turn his phone around, he showed another of the couple's dogs having a break in the shade.

"You snooze you lose," Gemma could be heard chirping in before adding: "You've lost your seat," as she was then seen keeping cool in the family's paddling pool. "She asked me to fill the pool this morning for Mia," Gorka remarked. "Excuse," he added before Gemma pointed toward herself and admitted: "For me!"

"Are you ok?" Gorka asked as the former Emmerdale Hollyoaks star confirmed it was "nice" and that she was "chilling." She posted the same video to her own Instagram Story with a GIF saying 'Oh well' before she shared a video to her own Instagram Story as she sat in the pool under the latest sun rays.

"I'm just chilling in the pool. Gorka's gone to pick Mia up so yeah, just relaxing. Got everything ready for her party on Saturday, her birthday party. We're doing it early. She's not four until the fourth of July but her party is this Saturday and we'll do one at the house on the actual day.

"I just wanted to make sure she had one with her nursery friends. We're all sorted for that, just a few more bits to do. But other than that, all good. I'm just nice and relaxed. Feeling nice and chilled, suns out, in the pool. Life's good, I'm very lucky."
