"He's all limbs and deciding to lay fist pumping my upper abdomen which is just wonderful when trying to sleep, eat or just breathe normally [laughing emoji]."

She finished by adding: "All healthy though [and] strong heartbeat so couldn't ask for more [red heart emoji]. Not much longer @gorka_marquez."

The mother-of-one is due to welcome her second child with fiancé Gorka Marquez. The smitten couple announced their joyous baby news back in January. "Impossible to hide my belly any longer. I've officially 'popped.' Our baby boy will be joining our family later this year," wrote Gemma alongside an adorable black and white image of the mum-to-be cradling her bump.

She continued: "We feel so incredibly blessed and grateful to be on this journey again. Mia is absolutely thrilled! Although we may need to do some negotiating on names, as so far she's adamant he's going to be called Barbie."

The couple are already proud parents to three-year-old daughter Mia whom they welcomed into the world back in 2019. Unfortunately, Gemma's first birth turned out to be a traumatic experience requiring an emergency C-section.

This time around, Gemma has sought the advice of a private midwife to help "monitor" her. Discussing her experience on her Instagram Stories, the radio presenter explained: "I've just had a visit from Rachel, my lovely midwife. We have just been talking about birth options and things moving forward.

"All lovely positive stuff and lots of positive affirmations which we're focusing on. We're getting everything mentally in place. Physically, I can do this but mentally, it's like hitting a wall in a workout. I need to just push through."
