Pregnant Gemma Atkinson is due to give birth to her baby with Gorka Marquez in two months.

The former Emmerdale star revealed her July due date in a post on Instagram where she showed her growing bump in a pair of shorts and bra top.

The 34-year-old looked as happy as Larry in the social media posts as she hugged her bump in a clip set to Justin Bieber’s debut single Baby.

The caption read: ‘In less than 2 months you’ll be here.’

This isn’t the first time Gemma has kept her followers up to date with her growing bump as she has not held back from documenting everything she’s going through – including suffering four kidney infections, a bout of sickness and extreme tiredness.

Informing her fans via Instagram stories, she said she had spent the day reading a book about hypnobirthing, a method of pain management used during labour, something she hopes to do when she welcomes her first baby to the world.

She explained in a video: ‘I’ve just had a lady round to do my hypnobirthing because that’s the birth route I want to go down.’

‘I cannot tell ya how relaxed and high I feel, in a good way,’ she added.

‘I just feel so good that it’s completely switched up any fear or negative stuff you have about pregnancy just goes and you feel ace. It was fab.’

Back in March, Gemma took to Instagram to share a before and after photo of her growing baby bump, and declared that she felt like a ‘superwoman’.

The TV star captioned the photo: ‘Our bodies are incredible! What they are capable of doing astounds me, and in both these pictures I felt/feel like superwoman.

‘I have a life inside of me ticking away ready to join us soon. The little kicks & turns & flutters are just wonderful,’ she wrote, adding: ‘I feel so incredibly lucky.’

It’s Gemma and Gorka’s first child together after the couple met at the Strictly 2017 launch party, when the actress competed in the BBC One series.

Gorka has been nothing short of a doting dad-to-be.

Gemma revealed that he returned from his trip to Madeira, Portugal just to spend time with her, and the pair were pictured lounging around on a sofa with their pet dog.

In one Instagram photo, Gorka is stretching over to plant a kiss on Gemma’s bump – the whole thing was basically adorable.

‘What Sundays are for,’ the actress had captioned the photo.

‘Gorks back for one day only so we spent it here watching movies and eating Toberlerone. @arighibianchi He finally got to see the couch! #lazysundays.’
