Gemma Atkinson has announced she is expecting her second child with partner Gorka Márquez.

The former Hollyoaks star, who already shares daughter Mia, three, with the Strictly professional dancer, shared the news on Instagram on Saturday

She 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.’
