Gemma Atkinson says she feels like ‘superwoman’ in dramatic before and after pregnancy shots

Gemma Atkinson has renamed herself to “superwoman” after opening up about her new pregnancy body.

The radio presenter, who earlier this year announced she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Gorka Marquez, posted before and after pictures of her fitness journey since becoming pregnant.

The first shot showed a lean Atkinson in a photoshoot before she revealed the news, while the second showed Atkinson with a baby bump.

The former Emmerdale star told fans how she now felt like “superwoman” in different ways for each picture.

She said: “Our bodies are incredible! What they are capable of doing astounds me, and in both these pictures I felt / feel like superwoman.

“I have a life inside of me ticking away ready to join us soon. The little kicks & turns & flutters are just wonderful. I feel so incredibly lucky.”

The candid post earned the approval from her followers, who declared her “stunning” in both images.

One supporter wrote: “In both images, you are very stunning, beautiful and I wish you all the best when your little bundle of joys joins the world.”

Another commented: “You’re amazing and look amazing you’re our inspiration.”

“You look fantastic! Thank you for continuing to post during your pregnancy, you inspire me every day,” wrote a third.

The post comes after Atkinson proved she is still human as she tucked into a cream doughnut with Marquez last week.

The couple shared a hilarious video of themselves edging in for a kiss before they jolted their heads away and tucked into the confectionery instead.

Atkinson has become known for her candid posts, and she previously revealed she almost cancelled her first fitness shoot as a pregnant woman after feeling “anything but fit”.

She has also been keeping fans up-to-date with how she has adapted her workout regime since becoming pregnant.

Atkinson and Marquez announced their pregnancy news with help from their adorable dogs Norman and Ollie earlier this year.
