Gemma & Gorka: Life Behind the Lens

Celebrity couple Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez feel in love in front of the nation when Gemma took part in Strictly, in 2017. Now they share the story of how it happened - off camera - and Gorka's unique chat up style!

With baby number two due soon the family discuss baby names. Three-year-old daughter Mia has her heart set on Barbie for her new brother. While Gorka is away with work, Gemma calls on back-up from her mum, Sandra, for her 21 week scan to find out if a natural birth will be possible this time.

Once back, (along with his dirty washing), Gemma talks Gorka through her hoped for water birth with the use of the paddling pool in their back garden and they open their hearts about the trauma of Mia's birth, an emergency c-section and post-partum haemorrhage. Nervous about complications again, Gemma has a pelvic floor assessment, but is just as keen to know if she can risk a pre-birth wax ‘down below' without bringing on an early labour!

Gorka cooks up a storm in the kitchen with a traditional Spanish omelette, before Gemma gets herself suited and booted for a secret role at the star-studded Soap Awards 2023.

Princess Mia is turning four and excited about her last birthday as an only child. Gemma gets advice on breathing techniques as she prepares for a first-time natural birth.

It's Gemma's baby shower, and Gorka is on Steph's Packed Lunch. Later, Gorka tries to speed up the labour before he returns to work and we meet baby Thiago!
