Gemma Atkinson says 'you know what's going to happen' as the heavily pregnant star speaks to fans about baby dilemma

Gemma Atkinson has opened up about the impending birth of her second child as she told fans 'you know what's going to happen'. Those who follow the Hits Radio host on social media already thought she had given birth after she went quiet on Instagram over the weekend.

However, on Sunday evening (July 2), Gemma appeared in some photos alongside her fiance Gorka Marquez as he revealed they had been on a date. Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka looked stylish in a black oversized shirt which he paired with some dark jeans while Gemma was blooming in a flowing gingham-style maxi dress as she posed cradling her growing bump.

"Mum & Papa went one a date," Gorka typed alongside the snaps. "Duration: the length of the movie 'Sing'. Credit: to the grandparents. Now back to reality @glouiseatkinson," he added.

And fans were thrilled to see an update from the pair and predicted it won't be long before their son arrives. @debondeli said: "I'd got you in the hospital not hearing from you all day. Glad you both had a great date." @marthasmummy wrote: "Bump looks to have dropped. Any day now…so exciting."

@karenjallison commented: "I have to admit that as you’ve both been quiet on socials today I thought little man had decided to make an entrance! Glad you had a lovely date day." @laura_dav_84_ replied: "So good to have time together for what could be your last date before little man arrives. I am so excited for yas."

Then on Monday morning (July 3), Gemma appeared on her own Instagram as she jokingly shared how she was hoping her son would either be born today or wait a couple of days due to it being the birthday of Gemma and Gorka's first-born, Mia, on Tuesday (July 4).

Sharing a clip of the music video to Wilson Phillips track Hold On to her Instagram Story, Gemma typed: "Me now to little man because Mia's actual b'day is tomorrow." She added: "If you could come today or anytime from tomorrow that'd be great," alongside a thumbs up and crying laughing emoji.

Gemma then appeared in a follow-up video as she was seen sat in the kitchen of her Greater Manchester home. "You know what's going to happen now don't ya? It'll be, 'Happy Birthday to... Oh Gorka, my waters!' That's what'll happen," she said referring to the little at home birthday plans she previously shared she has for her daughter who is set to turn four.

"You watch. Sod's law. Mind you, it wouldn't be too bad would it, Gorks, if they shared a birthday?" she went on turning to her partner. "I mean, I wouldn't want to be an 18-year-old girl sharing it with my 14-year-old brother because you'd just be annoying but they could share a cake."

Thinking about it, she added: "That's a bit snide isn't it? It's a bit Northern. 'Happy Birthday, there's half each! Think money grows on trees?'"
