Gemma Atkinson, 38, has been sharing her rollercoaster ride of parenthood on Instagram Stories, sharing her mum-struggles with her followers, as well as sweeter moments with her newborn son, Thiago.

On Monday, the Strictly Come Dancing star shared a new snap of her baby boy, and it was his pose that left her laughing her head off. The tiny tot was pictured wearing a blue baby grow, positioned in what could be a baby swing or rocker, and he unintentionally held his two fingers up in what could be seen as a very rude gesture!

The newborn surprised Gemma with his pose

"Auditions for Kez started" penned Gemma, along with a laughing face emoji. Kez is a 1969 film that follows a working-class boy and the young actor is shown on the front of the DVD case putting his two fingers up.

On Friday, the actress had another laughable moment when her daughter Mia, four, decided to give her new brother a rather unconventional nickname. And Gemma thinks she might be to blame for Mia's idea in the first place. Watch the video to discover what adorable Mia calls baby Thiago…

Mia is already the mother hen we expected her to be [laughing face emoji]. The doting mum added: "We're all home together soaking up this lovely bubble before Gorks has to leave for Strictly rehearsals next week. Thank you for all your lovely wishes. Our family is complete."

She also then followed up with a special shout out for the hospital staff, who she branded "angels". The Hollyoaks star wrote: "And a massive Thank you to the maternity unit at the Royal Bolton Hospital. You are all angels. We honestly couldn't have asked for better care from you all. Just as you were with Mia, your care and expertise was wonderful. Thank you #nhsworkers," alongside a blue love heart emoji.
