Gemma Atkinson gets a special surprise from Hanson on Hits Radio
She couldn't believe it
Last updated 13th Feb 2019
Hits Radio Breakfast presenter Gemma Atkinson couldn't believe it when she was surprised in the studio this morning by none other than brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zac, better known as Hanson. Meeting Hanson was a childhood dream for Gemma Atkinson, who admitted to having posters on her bedroom wall, but unfortunately wasn't around the last time the band visited the studio.
Unbelievably Gemma sat in the studio blindfolded for quite some time, before Hanson surprised her by saying "hello". When Gemma heard them and removed her blindfold, she couldn't believe the surprise when she saw Isaac, Taylor, and Zac. What a reaction!
Hanson rose to fame back in 1997 with their catchy debut single, 'MMMBop', so of course they couldn't leave Hits Radio without treating Gemma, along with the Hits Radio listeners to a little rendition of their song, which stayed at Number 1 for three weeks more than two decades ago.
How amazing was that?!
As well as wowing Gemma, many fans have been exclaiming how how different the band look as they celebrate 22 years since their debut single. The boys, who were just teenagers when they released 'MMMBop' are now all in their 30s and have 13 children between them!
Since releasing their iconic 'MMMBop', the boys had success with 'Where's the Love' and 'I Will Come to You'. They have since gone on to release a number of albums and are currently on tour around the world.
Of course Hanson aren't the only pop stars who have joined Gemma on the Hits Radio Breakfast show. Last year, Ritchie from 5ive surprised Gemma for her birthday. Gemma was showing us her best dance moves when Ritchie Neville from 5ive walked in with a birthday cake!
Meanwhile, Gemma recently announced the very exciting news that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend Gorka Marquez. To celebrate the exciting news, Gemma's Hits Radio co-stars Gethin Jones and Dave Vitty gave her the cutest baby gift ever - a baby grow with the words '50% 🇬🇧, 50% 🇪🇸, 100% ME'.
Since announcing the news, Gemma has been sharing cute moments on Instagram, including her pet dogs guarding her baby bump, writing, 'Guarding his new pack member... Dogs are just wonderful 😍'. sic
