Gemma Atkinson 'fights tears' in 16-month baby update after teasing her and Gorka Marquez's next move

Gemma Atkinson appeared to be fighting her emotions as she shared a sweet update on the growing sibling relationship between her two children.

The Hits Radio host and her Strictly Come Dancing star fiance Gorka Marquez share two children together - daughter Mia, five, and one-year-old Thaigo, years after falling in love while taking part in the BBC One dance show's 2017 series.

The couple were recently forced to take time apart. While they're no strangers to their work taking them in different directions over the years, the pair had to spend a chunk of time in different parts of the country as dancer Gorka competed in this year's Strictly with GP and Morning Live star Dr Punam Krishan.

But it was just after, during Strictly's Halloween special, that Gorka and Dr Punam were eliminated from the competition, meaning the former's time in Scotland was coming to an end and he was able to return to Greater Manchester to be back with his family.
