Gemma Atkinson shows off her engagement ring as she's reunited with former Key 103 co-star Mike Toolan

Gemma Atkinson looked on top form as she shared a laugh with her former radio co-star Mike Toolan.

Gemma and Mike, who presented the Key 103 breakfast show together before the station became Hits Radio in 2018, shared a laugh and a long overdue catch-up after not seeing each other for a year despite working in the same building.

The pair enjoyed a socially distanced 'goss dishing' as they met outside work in Castlefield.

Gemma, who presents the Hits Radio drivetime show with Wes Butters, flashed her sparkler of an engagement ring after her fiance Gorka Marquez popped the question on Valentine's Day.

And the former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actress shared a video of the pair dancing in their seats on her Instagram.

"Reunited with @miketoolan today, " she wrote.

"Working in the same building but not seeing him for almost a year was extremely odd!

"Today, we made the effort for me to arrive at work early and him to leave late so we could catch up! #goodtimes."

And Mike, who now presents the Hits Radio mid-morning show, wrote: "Finally caught up with this loon again @glouiseatkinson for Costa and goss dishing.

"All very socially distanced and outsidey (obviously)."

Speaking on the BBC show Steph's Packed Lunch last week Gorka said he and Gemma don't have a date in mind yet because of the coronavirus pandemic.

But he revealed what the couple, who have a toddler daughter Mia, would like for their big day.

He said: "With Covid and everything, you know, we don't know when it's going to happen. In my head, I had it planned maybe for next year.

"But we don't know, so we are happy like we are right now.

"We want to make the wedding for all the family and friends.

"We're going to plan it properly and have all the family from Spain, all the family from here, friends and everything coming together."

Gemma announced on her Instagram on February 14: "Valentine’s forever... Of course I said yes."

And Gorka wrote: "The best day with my forever Valentine’s.

"I asked and she said YES!!!!!!"
