Join Hits Radio presenter and actress Gemma Atkinson and her partner Spanish dancer Gorka Marquez in their first ever podcast as they find themselves navigating their daily lives whilst ‘Lost in Translation’.

A brand new original Rayo Podcast, ‘Lost in Translation’ explores the couple’s day-to-day life, juggling their busy schedules alongside parenting their two young children. With language and cultural differences also thrown into their relationship mix they can find themselves, like many couples, not always seeing eye to eye along the way!

What is the podcast about?

Gemma finds it frustrating that Gorka has a place for everything and everything must be in its place whereas her more laid-back messy approach drives Gorka up the wall. He also doesn’t understand how she can have absolutely no interest in her fashion choices but is happy to consult her crystals in their big life choices.

As well as stories and discussions from their own lives the couple who met on Strictly in 2017 will be helping their listeners to navigate any problems they might have with their own unique set of advice, but will Gemma and Gorka be offering the same solution or be dancing to a totally different beat?

“Gemma and I are different, but that’s what makes us work,” says Gorka. “We bicker, we laugh, and we always find a way through. We hope 'Lost in Translation' makes people feel less alone in their own relationship dilemmas and brings a smile to their faces.”

Gemma adds, “We wanted to create something really authentic that parents and couples can relate to. Life with two kids and conflicting schedules is always an adventure, and Gorka and I definitely have our moments! This podcast is about embracing those differences and finding the funny side.”

Warm and relatable, this podcast is about how to agree to disagree; ways to navigate relationships in today’s society; and why humour might just be the tonic to help us through the day to day.
