Pregnant Gemma Atkinson, 38, couldn’t help but laugh after one troll suggested that her unborn child might not belong to her fiancé Gorka Márquez, 32, and was subsequently applauded for the way she handled the claim. Her exciting baby news comes amid rumours that she and her Strictly Come Dancing star beau have “secretly married” after some fans were convinced they had spotted a clue.
The former Hollyoaks actress, who met Gorka on Strictly Come Dancing, announced the pair are expecting a baby boy last weekend.
The Hits Radio presenter proved herself to be a true professional earlier this week, as she was forced to laugh off one cruel troll following her wonderful pregnancy announcement.
As her radio co-host Mike Toolan read out some nasty comments in reaction to the news, Gemma demonstrated that she wasn’t prepared to let anyone get her down.
She read out one comment targeting her body, saying: “This is one from a guy called Steve-O. [He says] ‘Well, that’s her body ruined’.”

Gemma and Mike couldn’t hold in their laughter after reading the comment, with the former Emmerdale star adding: “I’m assuming Steve-O was birthed at one point. What does his mother look like?””

Reading another comment aloud, she continued: “Are we sure this baby’s even Gorka’s? The amount of fellas she had, it could be anyone’s! Hope this relationship fails.”
Once again, the presenters managed to find the funny side of the extremely uncalled for comment and swiftly moved on.
Fans rushed to the comments on the Hits Radio Instagram page to praise Gemma for the way she handled the trolls.
“Impossible to hide my belly any longer. I’ve officially ‘popped’,” she tweeted. “Our baby boy will be joining our family later this year.
“We feel so incredibly blessed and Grateful to be on this journey again. Mia is absolutely thrilled!
“Although we may need to do some negotiating on names, as so far she’s adamant he’s going to be called Barbie.”
Gemma and Gorka, who announced their engagement on 14 February 2021, have also sparked speculation that they recently tied the knot.
