GEMMA Atkinson surprised fans this morning by announcing that she is pregnant with her second child.
But there were already subtle hints that a baby might be on the way.
In recent Instagram posts, Gemma covered her stomach with baggy clothes or rather turned the camera to those around her.
Her promotional posts for fashion brand In The Style included lots of baggy items when posing in profile.
While one forward-facing shot saw her arm resting in front of her stomach, and in another she pulled down a semi-sheer black top.
During their festive visit to Gorka’s hometown of Bilbao, Gemma again wore a thick coat as she posed with her daughter Mia, while a more recent article from the trip focused on the youngster eating on the plane with Gemma out of sight.
Strictly Come Dancing fans were disappointed when Gorka pulled out of the arena tour at short notice.
He recently said it was to make the most of precious time with the family.
Now that the baby news is public, it makes even more sense for him to stay home rather than travel the country.
Gemma announced the pregnancy today with a photo of herself cradling her baby bump.
She wrote: “Can’t hide my belly any longer. I officially “jumped”.
“Our baby boy will join our family later this year
We feel incredibly blessed and grateful to be on this journey again. Mia is absolutely thrilled! Although we may have to negotiate names, because so far she is adamant it will be called Barbie.
The news raged with friends and fans.
Oti and Motsi Mabuse both sent congratulatory comments, as did former Towie star Jess Wright.
The couple are already parents to three-year-old Mia, who beamed in a family snap breaking the news.
