Gemma and her partner Gorka Marquez announced their happy baby news in February to fans following them on Twitter and Instagram, with dance pro Gorka confirming it with a picture of pet dogs Norm and Ollie.

Uploading a snap of the pooches to social media, fans went wild as they realised the two dogs were wearing boards around their necks bearing the pregnancy news.

“Guess what… mum’s pregnant!” excitedly revealed one of the signs, while the other read: “We’re going to be big brothers!”

An emotional Gorka, 28, said the couple were “beyond thrilled” to become parents for the first time in the image’s caption, also shared with his 80,000 Twitter followers.

Addressing ex Hollyoaks star Gem, he said: “Thank you for the greatest gift in life.

He continued: “Myself and Gem are beyond thrilled to be welcoming our new family member later this year! Baby Marquez.

“Norm and Ollie can’t wait to start their big brother duties.”

Soap star Gemma, 34, shared the same pic with her 1million social media followers and said they both felt “blessed” as she joked her dogs would be doting siblings to the upcoming new arrival.

“And what amazing big brothers they will be!” she said.

Emmerdale fave Gemma continued: “Myself and Gorks are beyond excited and happy and feel incredibly blessed to be meeting our new family member later this year.

“Baby Marquez! We love you loads already.”

Fitness fanatic Gemma has also shared messages about body positivity as she gets further into her pregnancy.

She says she’s not worried about putting on weight as her body is going through a “miracle” and she will embrace the changes.

Gemma opened up on Instagram with a throwback bikini pic, explaining: “I’m posting this because all I’ve been asked since people know I’m pregnant is “are you worried about putting on weight?” Well, in a word, NO.”

She continued: “I don’t see pregnancy as just someone gaining weight. I see it as my body shape & size changing because Im lucky enough to be going through this incredible miracle which nature intended.

“A miracle sadly denied to many woman, so the last thing I’m going to be worrying about is that one of the side effects of my pregnancy is the fact I WILL GAIN WEIGHT. I’m extremely lucky to be in this situation.” [sic]

#tb to one of the best holidays in Dom Rep! Rocking my bikini, in my best shape and at my healthiest. Im posting this because all I’ve been asked since people know I’m pregnant is “are you worried about putting on weight?” Well, in a word, NO. I don’t see pregnancy as just someone gaining weight. I see it as my body shape & size changing because Im lucky enough to be going through this incredible miracle which nature intended. A miracle sadly denied to many woman, so the last thing I’m going to be worrying about is that one of the side effects of my pregnancy is the fact I WILL GAIN WEIGHT. I’m extremely lucky to be in this situation. My cellulite will increase due to the rapid increase in oestrogen in my body. I’ll at times look bloated or have some spots and carry water retention due to my hormones changing, BUT all of the above are signs that my body is working correctly to house my baby. Yes I’m still training & yes I’m very mindful of my food consumption and nutrition (still allowing the odd pizza, chippy or cheesecake of course!) I can’t train to the extent I usually do right now because it’s not safe for my baby and that’s my only priority right now. I know what to do post baby to get myself and my body back to where they were beforehand so I’m not worried one bit. I’m Embracing the wonderful journey I’m on, strangely even the sickness. I’m also lucky in that Gorks is THE most supportive person I could have with me. Constantly making me feel sexy and beautiful in whatever body I’m in. He’s actually loving the fact my boobs have doubled in size… Cant think why 🤔😂 If you too are going through the wonderful changes in your body during pregnancy I salute you! It’s incredible! I now have a new found respect for my body and what it’s capable of.🤰
