Mum-to-be Gemma Atkinson has revealed her upcoming new arrival is already ‘spoilt’.
The 34-year-old ex soap actress joked her child with Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez has already received “loads of gifts” ahead of the birth, believed to be very near.
But while baby Marquez is well provided for before even making a first appearance in the world, Gem has bemoaned how she will miss out during her baby shower.
Revealing the shower is happening today, the former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star admitted to being caught up in the excitement of it all during a social media broadcast on Instagram Stories.

“It has come round so quick,” Gemma enthused, breathlessly.
Adding she was unsure what activities the baby shower might include, she continued: “No idea what’s happening. The girls have arranged it and I’m just turning up. I know it’ll be great because they’re great.”
Keeping her calm but clearly moved, Gem added her family would be participating and were waiting for her downstairs – but partner Gorka is away performing on his dance tour.
“Trying not to get emotional!” she said, taking deep breaths.

“But not long now and baby Marquez will be here.”
Joking she would be missing out on some aspects of the festivities due to her condition, Gemma continued: “Baby’s already spoilt with loads of gifts!”
She added: “[However,] I can’t drink and none of the gifts are for me!”
Just a few hours before addressing her 1 million Instagram followers, Gemma posted an adorable clip of her baby shifting about inside her – and making it appear as if they were ‘fist bumping’ her as tapped her stomach.
