Gemma Atkinson sparks concern as she completes 'last' of 2022 after sharing rare gushing message about fiance Gorka Marquez and Helen Skelton

Gemma Atkinson left her fans concerned as she gave them a glimpse into her last photoshoot of 2022. The Hits Radio host was taking some shots ahead of the release of her new range with Manchester fashion brand, In The Style.

While Gemma admitted to not being allowed to show fans what she had designed for the online retailer, she did give fans a sneak peek on her Instagram Stories before sharing a behind-the-scenes snap to her main grid.

The 38-year-old, from Bury, could be seen getting her pose on outside a grand modern home in the light of the winter sun. She was donning a pair of black jogging bottoms with a matching sports bra under a mesh t-shirt.

Gemma added a pair of white trainers to her look while her blond locks had been tied into a high pony with a fringe to frame her face. "Great morning on my final shoot (this year) for @inthestyle launching on the 3rd jan!" she typed alongside the post.

The former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star added: "Obvs can’t show the pieces yet but we’ve gone for comfy / casual / leggings / hoodies / crops / gym / at home wear. Basically jan attire for anyone re starting back at the gym but still longing for a bit of cover and comfort (me every January)," before adding a crying laughing emoji.

But fans were quickly worried about Gemma. @gemma.rogers88 said: "You must have been freezing." @ebarmby commented: "You must’ve been absolutely freezing. Cold outside." @cindy2330smith echoed: "You must have been freezing, doing shots outside."

@3dg_visuals wrote: " Get a jumper on, it's flippin freezin!" @hayley_ewens posted: "How have you not got your big coat on, it’s freezing up here." In response to one comment saying she must have been 'so cold', Gemma replied: "Awful," before saying to another: "SO cold!!!"

But Gemma's followers were also quick to spot something else in the photos. @sa_26889 commented: "Love the bins in the background. Down to earth as always!" @bogeyboysontour joked: "Never mind all that luv it’s bin day what ya playing at?" @sandiboaj laughed: "Lovely photo of your bins."

Gemma is one of In The Style's main collaborators alongside the likes of Stacey Solomon and Jacquline Jossa but back in October, as she released another set of items 'focusing on the run-up to Christmas parties' and for 'autumn brunches', she found herself hitting back.

Gemma explained how she wore a size 10 in all the items then shared a post which read: "A lot of you asked last time to see some of the outfits of ladies a different shape and size to me. Lauren is a size 18 so she did some shots for @inthestyle studio." She then shared a selection of gorgeous snaps of Lauren modeling some of the same items.

But it didn't appear to impress everyone as Gemma shared a screenshot of a message she had received in response. It read: "How about a more realistic size 18. Brands love to show how diverse they are by using 'plus size models' but really they don't represent actual plus size people." And Gemma issued a lengthy response.

Gemma is currently gearing up to cheer on her man Gorka Marquez as he competes in the Strictly Come Dancing semi-final, The dancer, who popped the question to Gemma on Valentine's Day last year, will take to the floor with Helen Skelton for the last time in a bid to get their hands on the Glitterball trophy.

After they got through the semi-final earlier this week, Gemma took to Instagram to share a supportive post. Sharing a smiling photo of Helen and Gorka with her millions of followers, the mum-of-one wrote: "Also THANK YOU! For voting these two. I'm so pleased!!! It's so deserved.

"The work behind the scenes from them both mentally as well as physically has blown me away. Super proud! And I cannot wait to watch you both (hopefully) lift that glitterball next sat."
