Gemma Atkinson has just shared an emotional message to her fans to celebrate Gorka Marquez's birthday. Gemma posted a number of photos to her Instagram account with the caption, 'Happy Birthday Gorks! Have the best day my love! Thanks for still grabbing my boobs on the regular in pictures 🤦🏼‍♀️ For always taking care of us, being the best Papa to Mia and always making me so happy. We love you ❤️ @gorka_marquez'.

Along with photos of the couple, Gemma also shared a couple of videos, one with Gorka dancing in front of the TV. The third video was a super cute one of the Strictly Come Dancing professional holding his little baby dancing to a Spanish song.

Replying to Gemma's gushing post, Gorka, who turns 29 today (4th September), said, '♥️♥️♥️♥️ I LOVE YOU!!!'. This was followed by a number of lovely comments from fans, including one which said, 'Last video 😍😍😍 the way she’s looking at him is everything!', and 'Love the video of Gorka dancing with Mia...beautiful !'. sic

Gemma and Gorka kept their relationship private while on Strictly Come Dancing, but went public after the show's live tour had finished in 2018. Then, earlier this year they announced they were expecting a baby.

Gemma and Gorka welcomed baby Mia on 4th July and since then Gemma has opened up about the first time she met Gorka. Sharing a photo of herself taken two years ago, as went to the Strictly rehearsals for the first time, Gemma wrote, 'Exactly 2 years ago today on our Strictly launch. Completely unaware that the coffee and chat id just had with a Gorgeous Spanish Dancer would lead to so much.'
