Pregnant Gemma Atkinson hints at due date and shares huge clue at baby name

Former Hollyoaks actress Gemma Atkinson has teased her baby’s due date while hinting at the little tot’s name.

Gemma, who earlier hinted that she’s already married to Gorka Marquez, is currently expecting her second baby with the professional dancer after revealing the tremendous news last week.

On Sunday, the actress, who portrayed Lisa Hunter on the soap from 2001 to 2005, took to Instagram to answer some questions from fans alongside her daughter, Mia, three.

Gemma said: "I'm just jumping on, I'm just over four months with this little fella here who is not so little actually, he's big.

"Did any of you have an emergency section following a vaginal birth? I don't want to say 'normal' birth as nobody's birth is normal.

"I'd be lying if it's not something I'd thought about – last time, for Mia, it didn't go as I'd imagined that it would.

"I'm just looking for a bit of [help] if anyone has experience."

With a bit of quick maths, fans were able to work out that Gemma’s due date should be somewhere in June.

When another fan questioned whether the couple had chosen a name, the former Strictly Come Dancing finalist, who competed with Aljaž Škorjanec against Alexandra Burke, Ruth Langsford and Aston Merrygold, responded: "Not yet but it will deffo be Spanish. 'Mia' means 'mine' in Spanish and if this one was a girl it was going to be 'Vida', as that means 'life'."

She added: "Obv together they'd be 'my life' but boys names are harder. Its the pronunciation, for example Theo in Spain is pronounced Tao, so it can complicated."

Gorka and Gemma met on the set of Strictly back in 2017, and despite being paired with different people, they hit it off and confirmed their romance in 2018.

They announced their second pregnancy on Instagram earlier in the month when Gemma shared a picture of herself in black and white hugging her baby bump.

In the caption, the former Holby City and Casualty actress wrote: “Impossible to hide my belly any longer. I’ve officially “popped.” 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.”

A flurry of blue tick accounts wished the family the best, with Strictly’s own Giovanni Pernice penning: “Congratulation !!! The best family and def the best parents.”

Will Mellor, who competed on this year’s show, wrote: “Wow that’s great news!!! Congratulations!”

“Aw congratulations,” wrote Stacey Solomon, who is expecting her own little one soon.

Amy Dowden added: “Soooooooooooo happy for such a beautiful family."
