Gemma Atkinson shares daughter's adorable World Book Day look after being unable to 'break news' to her

Gemma Atkinson has melted her fans' hearts as she shared a snap alongside her daughter on World Book Day.

Schoolchildren up and down the country have ditched their uniforms today to don some more extravagant looks to help support the annual charity event where the mission is to give every child and young person a book of their own.

But Hits Radio host Gemma admitted to not being able to break the news of a technicality to her daughter about her chosen character.

The mum-of-one took to Instagram on Thursday morning to share pictures of herself and her two-year-old daughter Mia ready to head off to nursery.

Gemma, 37, looked super casual in a pale yellow hoody and skinny blue jeans in comparison to her little girl who looked every inch the princess in a blue gown with sheer cape and matching headband.

Explaining to her millions of followers, the former Emmerdale actress said: "I know Frozen isn’t technically a book, but we couldn’t break that to Elsa’s biggest fan! Happy world book day!"

But Gemma was soon being flooded with a solution

@mrsb1713 said: "It's based on the book the snow Queen so you are ok."

"Frozen was very very loosely based off the book the ‘snow queen’ so it’s all good," @natalie9240 echoed

@laura_the_explorer_88 replied: "Its loosly based on Hans Christian Andersons Snow Queen.... so technically it is!"

"If anyone asks she’s based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" bam," @susiecrossland added.

While @tere5at wrote: "We have Frozen books, you’re all good. And she looks so happy, bless her."

Gemma had fans giggling earlier this week when she told her partner Gorka Marquez that there's 'no pressure' as she put in an Easter request with Mia.

The Bury star, who is set to return to Hollyoaks for a brief stint, shared a video from last Easter when she was gifted a giant chocolate egg.

As she takes it out the box, Mia's eyes light up as she sees the chocolate before getting stuck into the delicious treats.

Gemma also shared Mia's reaction to her Easter egg last year (Gemma Atkinson Instagram)

"Last Easter (can’t believe how much Mia has changed!)," Gemma wrote alongside the clip to her Instagram followers. "No pressure Gorks, but you set the bar with my white choc egg! I want the same again this year please."

She then added: "How cute is Mias excitement."

Emmerdale star Amy Walsh was among the first to comment, writing: "She’s her mother’s daughter," with a string of love heart and heart-eye emojis.
