Gemma Atkinson has revealed the 'grief' she gets over Gorka Marquez and his efforts that keep him on Strictly Come Dancing and also committed to his home life with her and their two children.

The couple are no strangers to spending chunks of time away from each other and their children due to work commitments. Bury-born Gemma has recently returned to her main job on Hits Radio where she co-hosts the drivetime slot from 4pm alongside Mike Toolan and with producer Matt following the end of her maternity leave.

Gemma, 39, took a nine-month break from her radio job as she and Gorka, 33, welcomed their son, Thiago, back in July, just over four years after the birth of their daughter Mia.

But following their baby's birth, Gorka was soon back working on the 2023 series of Strictly.
