Pregnant Gemma Atkinson and partner Gorka Marquez are set to star in their very own show

Actress and radio host Gemma Atkinson has revealed she and partner Gorka Marquez are set to star in their very own show, entitled Gemma & Gorka: Life Behind the Lens.

The former Hollyoaks star, 38, said ‘the news is finally out’ as she and Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka, 32, revealed their plans and shared the trailer with their millions of followers and fans on Instagram on Monday (June 26).

In a social media post Gemma stated: “For the last few months we’ve had the most wonderful crew document our 2nd pregnancy showing not only the absolute utter chaos of our day to day lives at home juggling work, dogs, toddlers and hormones but also in the hope to raise some awareness of the not so glamorous stuff in pregnancy no one really tells you about!

“Fellow mums to be also dealing with piles and sweating profusely and fellow dads to be confused about perineal massage we’re looking at you!”

Bury-born Gemma then confirmed: “There’s no glam squad, no script and no filters. We agreed the only way to do this, was to keep it real, keep it relatable and just hope for the best. You’ll be joining us at home, on our pre and postnatal appointments, meeting pelvic floor specialists and having the in depth chats about VBACs and the everyday challenges we all face as parents, because if we’re being honest, we’re all just winging it aren’t we!”

They rounded off the post by saying: “We hope enjoy it as much as we have. Massive thank you to W channel team for bringing this opportunity to us.”

Gemma, who is currently 38 weeks pregnant with a baby boy after having first child, daughter Mia, back in 2019, shared a picture of the couple and their pet dogs Ollie and Norman in the garden of their Greater Manchester home.

“The news is finally out!” Gemma typed. “Our own show ‘Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens’ coming to @wtvchannel and @uktvplay this summer!”

Many of the pair’s celebrity pals responded with their excitement to the post on Instagram, along with fans and followers.

Strictly pro dancer Dianne Buswell said: “Go on you two. Amazing I’ll be watching.” Amy Dowden commented: “Exciting! Can’t wait.” It Takes Two host Janette Manrara replied: “I will be tuning in!”
