Gemma Atkinson and fiance Gorka Marquez joke they 'don't talk anymore' after heated debate

Newly engaged Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez found they had a difference in opinion as they embraced the sunshine by heading out on a family walk.

Before they got to their destination the loved-up couple ended up having a heated but clearly tongue-in-cheek debate.

Gemma, 36, shared a video of the debate on her Instagram Stories and she asked fans to help to settle their disagreement.

The Hits Radio presenter from Bury disapproved when Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Gorka insisted they should take a hot coffee with them on their walk.

She told him it was too much to juggle with their daughter Mia, two dogs and food for the birds.

Gemma was incredulous when he told his wife-to-be that strolling outdoors with a coffee reminded him of being in New York.

"You're in fr*****g Lancashire," she told him.

Gemma asked fans: "Can you settle something right?

"When you're going on a family walk, when you've got food for the ducks, and the dogs, and a child, do you get a coffee before or after the walk?

There was a pointed choice of song (Gemma Atkinson)

"Because Gorka here is adamant we have to have a coffee now to take on the walk with us."

Gorka explained: "It's nice that we have a coffee and a walk.

"It reminds me of when I used to walk in New York with a coffee. I love it."

And Gemma exclaimed: "New York! Bloomin' heck you're in fr*****g Lancashire.

"I've got to feed the ducks. I can't hold a coffee with a child and dogs and bird food."

Former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actress Gemma then decided to hand it over to her followers by asking them to vote.

"Do you have a coffee before or after the walk?" she asked.

After the walk Gemma was back with an update.

"Gorka has just had his coffee on the walk. I'm going to have mine now. Cold," she said.

She then posted a jokey video of the couple driving in silence to the song We Don't Talk Anymore by Charlie Puth with the caption 'since our debate.'

And Gemma was seen about to burst into laughter at the clip as she tried to keep a stern face.

The couple met and fell in love on Strictly in 2017 when Gemma was a contestant on the hit BBC One dance contest.

In July 2019 they welcomed their daughter.

On Valentine's Day Gorka popped the question to his love on a romantic walk.

Showing off her sparkler of an engagement ring and planting a kiss on her man, she said: "Valentine’s forever... Of course I said yes."

And Gorka wrote: "The best day with my forever Valentine’s.

"I asked and she said YES!!!!!!"
