Gemma Atkinson denies Gorka Marquez engagement after sparking rumours with diamond ring

Gemma Atkinson has sparked rumours she is engaged to Strictly boyfriend Gorka Marquez by flashing a huge diamond.

Radio host Gemma, who is just two months away from giving birth to her first child with Strictly star Gorka, shared a snap of her enjoying lunch with three girlfriends.

But eagle-eyed fans spotted the oval diamond on her left hand.

Gemma, who captioned the snap: "Fabulous hospitality as always at Old Trafford. All set to watch the Treble Reunion Match with the girls!."

But after much excitement, Gemma's rep told Mirror Online she wasn't engaged.

It is thought Gemma was wearing an old ring which she has previously said she prefers to wear on her engagement finger.

The Strictly Come Dancing stars revealed Gemma was pregnant back in February.

Gorka and Gemma fell for each other when they performed on the 2017 edition of the long-running BBC dance show.

While the pair were not partnered together, it seemed the attraction between them was so strong it reverberated beyond their own dance partners.

Gemma was partnered with Aljaž Skorjanec that year - while Gorka was partnered with a reportedly jealous Alexandra Burke.

The couple attempted to keep their bubbling romance under wraps - but by 2018, they broke cover and revealed they are indeed lovers.

In February this year, Gorka and Gemma warmed hearts when they revealed they would be becoming first time parents together.

The radio host, 34, revealed her July due date in a post on Instagram where she showed her growing bump in a pair of shorts and bra top.

She grinned away happily as she caressed her stomach in the short clip set to Justin Bieber's song Baby: "In less than 2 months you’ll be here."

Gemma has been keeping her followers updated on her pregnancy journey with an honest account of everything she's going through including suffering four kidney infections, a bout of sickness and extreme tiredness.
