Gemma Atkinson shares incredible Christmas home transformation from Home Bargains

While Gorka Marquez has been dancing up a storm on Strictly Come Dancing, his partner Gemma Atkinson has been very busy transforming their home for Christmas.

The Hits Radio presenter made the home they share with daughter Mia and their two dogs Ollie and Norman look super-festive after popping to Home Bargains.

Gemma ended up with an extra Christmas tree after her shopping trip.

Feeling proud of her purchase, she told her Instagram followers that this is the first time she's ever had two Christmas trees but she couldn't resist a bargain.

"I went Home Bargains and they had a sale on so I thought 'why not?' she said.

"I went in for batteries and came out with a tree."

Former Emmerdale star Gemma, 36, said it took her five hours to put up the trees and garlands.

The Bury actress added the finishing touches to their home with festive cuddly toys and stockings bearing each of their names.

"When Mia gets home she's going to go crazy," she said.

And she added: "And Gorks obviously."

Professional dancer Gorka is currently competing on Strictly with EastEnders actress Maisie Smith.

Tomorrow night it will be revealed if they've made it to the semi-final next weekend.

This year's series ends on Saturday December 19.

In Saturday night's quarter final they performed a flawless jive to Little Shop of Horrors from Little Shop of Horrors in musicals week.
