Gorka Marquez shares Gemma Atkinson baby update after fans' messages and says 'back to reality'

Gorka Marquez has shared an update on the imminent arrival of his second child with fiancee Gemma Atkinson. Fans have been quick to flood the Strictly Come Dancing star's latest post after thinking the couple's quietness on social media meant that they had welcomed their baby boy.

Gorka, 32, and Hits Radio host Gemma, 38, announced the joyous news they were expecting their second child, a son, back in January and Gemma said back in April that she had been told her 'little man' could arrive at "any time from the back few weeks in June to the front few weeks in July" after being asked when she was due.

But it appears baby number two hasn't made his grand entrance into the world just yet as the couple, who already share daughter Mia, who turns four this week, headed out on a date on Sunday.

Taking to Instagram, Gorka shared a number of pictures of himself and Gemma, who looked glowing, posing for a couple of mirror selfies as they got some time to themselves before becoming a family of four.

Spanish-born 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."

@ladyvaletta posted: "Oooh, that baby’s coming soon, Gemma’s bump has dropped!! How exciting." @ebarmby shared: "Looks like the little fella’s going to make an appearance any day now! Good Luck." @karenmichelle2611 added: "Think quite a few of us thought it was the ‘birth’ date rather than a mum and dad one! Good luck when labour begins."
