Gemma Atkinson has addressed fans' comment saying 'it's all mine' after she appeared to be flooded with messages after taking a well-deserved trip to the salon. The Hits Radio host used her maternity leave for a little pamper session as she eagerly awaits the arrival of her second child.
Gemma and her Strictly Come Dancing star fiance Gorka Marquez announced back in January that they were expecting again after welcoming their first child, daughter Mia, in 2019. They confirmed at the time that they were preparing to welcome a baby boy this summer.
And Gemma has since been keeping her followers updated on her second pregnancy with her honest social media posts, particularly since starting her maternity leave as she counts down the last of the weeks and days before they become a family of four.

On Wednesday (June 14), Gemma shared how she had popped out to get her hair done after previously sharing how she was leaving it as late as possible so it was fresh and ready for just before her son's arrival.
After sharing pictures of two adorable pooches taking up a place at the hair washing sinks, writing: "Two of the perks coming to @emilyrosemonkhair_," on her Instagram Story Gemma appeared in a video.
"And the third perk is fresh hair!" she said as she appeared back in the car. "We've gone a tiny bit darker underneath so that it is a bit easier to maintain when little man arrives but I love it. Absolutely love it," she continued as she wafted her fresh locks around while she wore sunglasses to cover her eyes. "I feel very glam. Only for today though because obviously in the morning it won't look like this."
And it appears her freshly touched-up locks sparked comments from fans as once back home, she returned to her social media platform with another video speaking directly to her 1.8 million followers. "I keep being asked if it's my hair or extensions... No, it's mine. I haven't got extensions, look," she said as she pulled around her blonde locks.
The 38-year-old added: "It's pregnancy hair. Mind you, I do have thick hair anyway before I was [pregnant] but I'm sure it'll fall out after little man. But no, it's my own hair, Em [her hairdresser] is just a genius."
But before chatting hair with her followers, Gemma appeared to have all eyes on her man as she cooled him down in the garden of their Greater Manchester home. In the first video, the former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star was seen watering her plants before turning the hose on one of her beloved pet dogs who appreciated the help in cooling off.
"Too hot for doggos and preggos," Gemma captioned the video, in which she appeared in a black maxi dress that skipped her blossoming bump, referring to the fact she too was struggling with the heatwave that has swept across the country in recent days.
And when she returned with another video, Gemma quipped: "And now for the Spaniard," alongside a crying laughing emoji and face sticking out its tongue. The clip, set to Salt-N-Pepa's Whatta Man, showed her spraying down the dancer, 32, as he did the worm across their grass before showing off his toned torso as he let the water spray all over him.
Gorka recently opened up about becoming a dad-of-two with his son's arrival before he returns to Strictly this autumn. Asked whether having a newborn at home will make this year's series harder for him, the Spanish-born star of the BBC One dance contest told the Manchester Evening News: "I have experience as it is our second baby. We went through a lot of this with Mia in the past.
"But Mia loves Strictly and as hard as it's going to be because it's hard even when I'm on tour and I'm away and don't see them often, I'm very grateful I get to do what I do for a living and it's always to do the best for my family and also find the balance. I try to find the balance between work and family and it works for us. Thanks to FaceTime we see each other all the time, when I have days off I go home and when we're in Manchester, Mia comes to see the show because she loves it and Gemma loves it too."
He added: "And they are very supportive. It is very hard to be away but at the same time, they make me feel like they're proud of what I do and what I do is for them and for our family." On whether he's ready to be a dad-of-two, Gorka shared: "Yes, I can't wait. We're more excited. The little one is excited to be a big sister and me and Gemma are excited to welcome the little man."
