Gemma Atkinson is expecting baby number two with fiancé Gorka Marquez, and since the couple announced their news online, the former Hollyoaks actress has revealed her daughter Mia's reaction to the baby.

"When we told Mia she was going to be a sister she said, 'Is that why your belly is a bit like Daddy pigs?' It did make me laugh, and I’m excited to see the changes take place again and show Mia proudly what her mum's body is doing," penned Gemma in a candid update.

In the same post, the star revealed she's still been working out during pregnancy after the all clear from her midwife and doctor.

In fact, the Strictly star claimed exercises have helped her pregnancy-induced back pain. "Weirdly my back feels worse when I do nothing. Moving/exercising really helps with it," she said.

Gemma then shared her current workout routine, including stretches, so that other expectant mums could follow along if they wished.

In an honest body update, Gemma revealed: "Just like with Mia my cellulite is back in full force, (A sign that my body is flooded with Oestrogen which helps baby massively) and my muscles have become softer. Again a good sign that the relaxing hormone is doing its job allowing my body to stretch. It’s remarkable really."
