“There are people who will spend £50k on a wedding and you think, oh my God. Twice we thought about going to the register office and just doing it and then having a big party.”

Gemma and Gorka got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2021, with a romantic proposal. The pair met whilst on Strictly Come Dancing and have been a couple ever since.

“I was sat at home with my stitches, the nurses coming round to change my dressing, Mia crying. And I was just like oh my gosh this is my life now and nothing’s changed for him.”

She added: “I remember speaking to my mum about it and she was saying typically the guys go back to work.

“Things change, people are in different situations and some are parenting alone. It’s just your situation to deal with.”
