Gemma Atkinson coos over tiny baby boots just weeks after revealing pregnancy

Gemma Atkinson cooed over tiny baby booties just weeks after announcing she is expecting her first child with Gorka Marquez.

Atkinson, who starred in Emmerdale, announced her pregnancy in early February with a little help from pet dogs Norman and Ollie, who she also shares with the Strictly Come Dancing star.

Since revealing the happy news, Atkinson has been keeping her fans in the loop with all things baby-related and showed off her unborn child’s first pair of shoes on Tuesday.

Posting on her Instagram stories, Atkinson explained that she had been gifted a pair of white trainers for the little one after a meeting with Reebok, declaring that she “can’t cope” with the adorable sneakers.

Atkinson and Marquez, who met on Strictly in 2017, revealed their big news earlier this month just days after showing fans a glimpse of their new house together.

The Spanish dancer hailed the pregnancy as the “greatest gift in life” as he shared the same image of the dogs brandishing “big brother” signs.

He wrote: “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.”

Baby Marquez has already been inundated with gifts, with Atkinson sharing a cute white outfit on her social media last week .

The tiny Babygro, given to her by friends at Hits Radio where she works, reads: “50% [British flag], 50% [Spanish flag], 100% me.”

She recently hit back at people asking her if she was “bothered” about gaining weight during pregnancy, saying that is “just lucky enough to be with child” .
