Gemma Atkinson has revealed the name of her new baby – as well as the adorable reason behind it.
Last week, 38-year-old Gemma welcomed baby number two with fiancé Gorka Márquez. The pair, who met and fell in love on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, are also proud parents to three-year-old Mia.

Heading over to her Instagram, Gemma uploaded an adorable picture of the tot asleep in his bassinet. In the caption, she revealed to fans his name and wrote: “Thiago Thomas Marquez. Our family is complete.”
Gemma also uploaded a snap to her Instagram Story where she explained to fans why they decided to choose that name.
She penned: “Thiago is originally 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.
The soap star added: “Tio is thriving and it feels like he always been here. Mia is obsessed! Thank you eveyone for the lovely messages. We feel extremely lucky.”
Gemma lost her dad when she was aged just 17 after he suffered a heart attack.
