Alongside a carousel of heartwarming snapshots featuring Gorka and Mia, the former Hollyoaks star gushed: "Papa being home was short and sweet, especially with Pancakes. (We had another pancake day together).
"Mia is always ok when Gorks is packing and saying bye, but every time, right before he gets in his car she bursts into tears [sad face emoji] Then that makes him do the same!"
Gemma shared an emotional post
She went on to say: "It's always hard and I guess something we're hoping Mia gets used to. I know how it feels missing your dad so I feel for her so much. And I miss her after just one night away so I know it's hard for Gorka too. So many families have similar or partners away for even longer so it's nice in some ways to know we're all in it together [heart emoji] @gorka_marquez."
