She concluded by adding: "Time has to be made. It’s amazing what your body gets used to with a consistent routine though. 10pm to 5am for me, is enough sleep to work off".

With the new series due to return to our screens this autumn, rehearsals for the hit TV show are well and truly underway. Strictly Come Dancing series 20 will begin in September. The launch show typically occurs around the middle of September, with the live shows and official competition kicking off a fortnight later.
As proud parents to two-year-old daughter Mia, Gemma and Gorka will no doubt have plenty to juggle over the next few months. In an exclusive chat with HELLO!, the blonde stunner spoke candidly on the subject of motherhood.

"Becoming a mother definitely made me more patient and it's kind of surprised me at how natural I've dealt with things, whether they've been easy or not. I never thought I'd have kids because I was more than happy to be on my own with ten dogs", she said.
Touching on her fitness journey postpartum, Gemma added: "For me, it was about taking a step back and appreciating what my body had done. I missed how exercise made me feel endorphin-wise but I had that, in a way, just by being around Mia.
