Gemma Atkinson jokes shirtless boyfriend Gorka Marquez is the ‘reason she’s pregnant’

Gemma Atkinson proved she can’t get enough of boyfriend Gorka Marquez as she shared a topless snap of her other half on Instagram.

The radio presenter, who met Marquez during her time on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, revealed she is expecting her first child with the professional dancer earlier this month.

On Friday, Atkinson welcomed in the new month by pulling a black and white image from Marquez’s calendar and hailing it the “reason I’m pregnant.”

She captioned the post: “Happy 1st March! This months image from @gorka_marquez Calendar and the reason I’m pregnant.”

Fans loved the hilarious post with some joking she shared “too much information.”

One user posted: “Hahahahahhahahah omg the caption @glouiseatkinson this is why the nation bloody loves you.”

“Just love your sense of humour,” another added.

The post comes after the former Hollyoaks star showed off her growing baby bump at the Brit Awards earlier this month.

Atkinson couldn’t resist flaunting her baby belly in a bodycon black dress which she teamed with colourful heels.

Gemma Atkinson does pregnancy workout

Atkinson has been keeping fans up-to-date on her pregnancy, regularly posting about her changing workout regime.

She shared a video of herself completing a circuit workout in her home, lifting dumbbells and using a chair for balance as she executed a series of lunges and stretches.

She wore a heart rate monitor around her waist, to “make sure that [her] heart rate stays in the ‘safe zone,’” and educated her followers about the importance of seeking medical advice when working out while pregnant.

Atkinson has also shared a string of candid posts on the struggles of pregnancy, admitting she sometimes feels like a “strong, incredible, magical super woman,” while at other times she “can’t move properly.”
