Strictly pro Gorka Marquez melted the hearts of his Instagram followers earlier this week as he shared images of him tenderly attending to pregnant partner Gemma Atkinson.

The hunky 28-year-old looked utterly devoted to actress Gem, 34, as he planted a loving kiss on her growing baby bump as the couple relaxed on huge sofa.

Gemma also shared the images with her near-million Insta followers – and explained the couple were grabbing a few moments together after ten days of travelling for work through Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands.

Gorks back for one day only so we spent it here watching movies and eating Toblerone,” she noted in the image caption.

Just a few days ago Gemma was praised for her inspirational words as she gave a very honest and open account of her pregnancy experience.

Responding to her followers hailing her for her fitness videos and pictures, she said there are some days when she’s exhausted and just wants to eat pizza.

“Since I posted the videos of me training during pregnancy I’ve had lots of messages from pregnant ladies saying ‘I wish I had the energy’ or ‘I look massive and I’m only so many weeks,'” she began.

She went on to write that “the last thing I want is for any woman to not feel like they are doing ok” and that she wanted to share an image from a day when she didn’t stick to her strict diet and workout regime.

Posting a pic of her digging into a huge pizza, she said after working a 16-hour day she prefers to get comfortable in a tracksuit, play with her dogs and enjoying her grub all to herself!

She also recently joked that her pregnancy cravings have begun to cause “carnage” after admitting to having scoffed down a huge bar of Toblerone in one sitting.

Gemma and Gorka announced they were expecting in early February, with a little help from dogs Norman and Ollie.

They first met during the 2017 run of Strictly, when she was partnered with Aljaž Skorjanec and he danced with Alexandra Burke.

The couple confirmed they were an item on Valentine’s Day last year, after the series ended.
