Gemma Atkinson, 34, recently went on maternity leave from her Hits Radio show, but this has not stopped the blonde beauty from updating her fans on her pregnancy journey. The former Emmerdale actress took to Instagram and reflected on her life a year ago with professional dancer boyfriend Gorka Marquez, 28. In view of her one million followers, the mother-to-be shared a snap of the happy couple with their arms around one another. She captioned the sweet snap: “What a difference a year makes.@gorka_marquez.”
Her beau could not resist replying to the post as he gushed over the former Hollyoaks actress as he revealed what the biggest difference was for him.
Gorka replied: “Yeah!! That I love you even more!”
Even their Strictly pal Karen Clifton could not resist commenting, as she penned: “Love you guys.”
Fans rushed to comment on the post, as one person said: “Won’t be long till their is three of you sitting in the sun.”
Another person replied: “And next year’s picture will be even more different…a extra little one of you both.”
While a third person commented: “You two are so cute together.”
Gemma and Gorka first met when she starred on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017.
They later struck up a romance and went public with their relationship the following Valentine’s Day.
Earlier this year, the couple announced they were expecting their first baby together, with Gemma thought to be due next month.
Meanwhile, the small-screen star put her growing bump on full display as she attended Dog Festival at Tatton Park with her two companions Norman and Ollie today.
Sporting a black beanie hat, a grey hoody and black leggings she beamed at the camera whilst holding her two dogs on leads.
She completed her look with a pair of wellington boots, giving fans a full glimpse of her baby bump.
She captioned the post: “Fun morning @dog_fest at Tatton Park. Hundreds of dogs and dog lovers.
“Thanks to @regattaoutdoors for having us and to the wonderful @profnoelfitzpatrick for putting on such a wonderful event. See you next year!”
Gemma regularly posts snaps alongside her two dogs and even had them announce her pregnancy news in a heartwarming post.
Placing signs around their necks, the messages read: “Guess what…mum’s pregnant,” and “We’re going to be big brothers.”
