Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez pine for each other as he tours

The Strictly star is working abroad

| Updated:

Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez have revealed they are pining for one another as the Strictly dancer is away for work.

Dancer Gorka is currently performing on a cruise ship and he is set to be away for nearly two weeks.

Heavily pregnant Gemma has stayed in the UK as she continues to co-host the breakfast show on radio station The Hits.

But the couple made it clear they don’t like being apart when they exchanged sweet messages on social media.

Gorka shared a series of snaps from the cruise on Instagram and he made it known he was missing Gemma.

He was pictured standing at the front of the boat. He wrote: “Enjoying the sunset view just missing my own 🌹 @glouiseatkinson #titanic 😉.”

Making a reference to Rose and Jack’s tragic love story in Titanic, Gemma joked back: “I’d have made room for you on that bloody wardrobe door Gorks #titanic.”

It’s the first time they will spend an extensive period of time apart since they confirmed their romance in February last year.

In January, the couple – who met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 – announced they are expecting their first child.

Gemma, who has been craving a lot of chocolate as she gets further into her pregnancy, also gave Gorka his orders when he left for the boat trip.

The actress joked on Instagram: “Bring me back a white chocolate toberlerone pls.”

She added: “I say one, I mean six.”

Gemma recently spoke about her excitement for when they will be able to go on holiday as a family of three.

Last month, she shared a snap from their trip to Tenerife and captioned it: “Next time we go on holiday we’ll be a 3 👶.”
