Gemma Atkinson: ‘I miss her’ Gorka Marquez’s beau opens up on first outing away from baby

Gemma Atkinson, 34, and Gorka Marquez, 28, revealed their baby girl’s name last night, Mia Louise Marquez, almost three weeks after she was born.

And today, in a huge first for Gemma Atkinson, she left her little one at home to get a coffee with her boyfriend and Strictly Come Dancing professional, Gorka.

However, the former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actress didn’t last too long away from Mia.

Gemma uploaded a video of herself in the passenger seat of a car whilst Gorka was driving and told her 1.1 million Instagram followers she had spent only eight minutes out and about.

Speaking to the camera wearing a pair of sunglasses, the new mum said: “First outing, left the little Mia at home.”

Showing off her coffee, Gemma continued: “We went to Starbucks. I managed to go there but I couldn’t sit in.

“I wanted to go straight back home so we’ve been out, all in all, about eight minutes.”

“I just miss her loads,” she added: “Want to go home to my little bestie!”

The fitness star acknowledged it was nice to get out of the house for a little bit of time.

She said: “But it’s nice to get some fresh air and a little coffee, decaf still but hey ho.”

Gemma and Gorka both shared a picture of their bundle of joy on Instagram last night, where they revealed Mia’s name.

The tiny tot looked adorable laying down wearing a pink knitted cardigan over a white baby grow.

The Strictly Come Dancing 2017 contestant previously explained why she had left it a long time to share a picture of Mia and announce her name.

“To people asking why we haven’t posted any pictures,” she wrote on her Instagram stories last week.

“No, we haven’t done a magazine deal,” the star cleared up.

Gemma added they wanted the important people in their lives to get a chance to meet their daughter, before the rest of the world.

She continued: “We just want all our family and friends to come over and meet her first, that’s all.”

“It’s important for me that they all get a hold and a cuddle first.”

Gemma gave an update on life as a parent at the weekend, where she said it’s been a “whirlwind” so far.

She wrote alongside a photo of herself with her thumbs up: “I’m not sure how but we’ve been blessed with the most chilled out, calm, zen like baby who so far eats and sleeps every 4hrs like a topper and in between is happy amusing herself having a good old kick and wriggle in her pram.”

Gemma acknowledged her little one will soon have her “clawing” her eyes out.
