WELCOMING BABY THIAGO GEMMA ATKINSON AND GORKA MARQUEZ AIM TO TELL STRICTLY THE TRUTH ABOUT FAMILY LIFE IN NEW SHOW

As the couple welcome cameras into their lives to follow life as second-time parents, actress and presenter Gemma tells HELLO! how her fiancé, Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka, has been busy making sure everything runs smoothly.

"He's Mrs Doubtfire at the minute," says Gemma, 38, of the man she started dating after taking part in the hit BBC1 show in 2017. "Gorka loves cooking and cleaning and I'm obviously doing the feeding. We are a nice little tag team - we make it work like everyone else."

Already parents to four-yearold daughter Mia, they both say they feel in an ideal place as family of four.

"Now Thiago is here, it doesn't feel much different to how things were before, although there are more people in the house," the but it's just perfect and Mia is so good with him."

Gemma, his fiancée of two years, adds: "It's like it's always been the four of us, which is weird as just a few days ago, it wasn't." 

She announced the birth on Instagram on 19 July, telling her followers: "Little man is here! He arrived safe and sound and he's utterly wonderful." 

TOUCHING TRIBUTE

Born at the Royal Bolton hospital, close to the home they share in Manchester, baby Thiago is named after his grandparents. Gemma says: "Thiago is a Portuguese name [Gorka's mum is from Portugal] and Thomas was my dad's middle name, so there's the mix of the two."

Mia, Gemma says, is a real "mother hen" and is delighted to be a big sister. "She is fab with him. The first thing she did this morning was say: 'Where's my brother?' She always wants to do everything for him."
