Since Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez announced that they are to become parents back in February, fans have been going wild with excitement for the Strictly Come Dancing couple.

Here we chart how it's bloomed since February...

Proving she is keeping up her training in the healthiest way possible, Gemma's growing bump was visible when she talked her followers through her updated workout routine and warned them what they need to be careful if exercising when pregnant.
She captioned the video: "I did a 30 min circuit using mainly my body weight (because my baby is heavy enough). My dumbbells were 3kg so a lot less then usual but I felt great afterwards. I’m wearing a @myzonemoves belt to make sure my heart rate stays in the “safe zone” for baby and for me. I don’t want it too high. I’ve been cleared by my doctor, midwife and Evil Steve to do these exercises and before even considering exercise when pregnant YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST GET THE GO AHEAD FROM PROFESSIONALS. It doesn’t look like a lot and being honest, for the usual me it would have just been my warm up. For pregnant me though, it was fine."

Showing that she won't let her bump stop her love of exercise, Gemma went for a hike while on holiday. She captioned the shot: "Last week me and Gorks climbed Mount Teide ? (it’s a drive, cable car and flat walk before the pregnancy police start on me) I haven’t been here since my dad passed away. We used to come every year and do the hike so it was bittersweet, but I know he somehow helped drag me up there."
April
Never one to take herself too seriously, she uploaded a new picture of her blossoming bump with the caption: "Who ate all the eggs?! First Easter where I actually look like an Easter Egg ? and I bloody love it!"
