Gemma said she and her Strictly Come Dancing boyfriend Gorka Marquez, 28, are “beyond excited” to be becoming first-time parents.

The fitness star captioned the sweet picture: “And what Amazing big brothers they will be!

“Myself & Gorks are beyond excited and happy and feel incredibly blessed to be meeting our new family member later this year.”

She ended it with: “Baby Marquez!!! We love you loads already @gorka_marquez.”

The happy couple went public with their romance back in February last year on Valentine’s Day with a loved-up photo.

They met when Gemma appeared on Strictly Come Dancing as a celebrity contestant where Gorka is a professional dancer in 2017.

Last month, the pair revealed they were moving in together after a year of dating.

They both uploaded excited videos to their Instagram accounts of their big day as they travelled to their abode in Manchester.
