Gemma Atkinson and her ‘Strictly’ partner Gorka Marquez are expecting a baby together

Gemma announced the exciting news in a sweet Instagram post.

Congratulations are in order for Gemma Atkinson and her Strictly Come Dancing partner, Gorka Marquez as the couple have just announced they are expecting a baby together. The actress and former glamour model took to Instagram this morning to share a picture of her two dogs with signs that read "Guess what...Mum's pregnant. We're going to be big brothers!". The 34-year-old captioned the funny snap:

"And what Amazing big brothers they will be! Myself & Gorks are beyond excited and happy and feel incredibly blessed to be meeting our new family member later this year. Baby Marquez!!! We love you loads already."

Gorka, 28, posted the same picture on his account adding:

"Thank you for the greatest gift in life. Myself and Gem are beyond thrilled to be welcoming our new family member later this year! Baby Marquez Norm and ollie can’t wait to start their big brother duties."

Celebrities like Katie Piper, Lorraine Kelly and Holly Willoughby were quick to congratulate the couple who have been together for a year after they met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017. Several months ago the pair sparked engagement rumours, but no announcement came to fruition. We're delighted for the couple with their exciting news this morning. We love a good Strictly romance!
