Gemma Atkinson is a doting mum to her two children Mia, four, and Thiago, who turned one last month, and on Saturday, whilst her fiancé Gorka Marquez was away for work, she headed out with her brood.

The former Strictly finalist shared a photo of herself popping to the shops with her two young children, who both happily went and sat in the trolley. In the sweet snap, the duo appeared to be each other's twins, despite the three-year age difference!

Thiago appeared to be the same height as his older sister as he joined her in the trolley and the pair both sported a mop of blonde hair that was identical to their famous mum.

Mia flashed a huge smile as she sat in the trolley, while Thiago was seen having a look around as he gripped onto the handles.

Gemma shares her children with Gorka Marquez

Due to his professional dancing career, Gorka has been absent for some of his children's key moments as they grew up, and the dancer sadly missed out on Thiago taking his first steps earlier this year.

Back in June, Gemma shared a video of herself in the garden with her young son, saying: "Exploring in the garden. He definitely walked on his own didn't he?! I keep watching it back but he did!!"

The happy couple met on Strictly Come Dancing

Although Gorka didn't get to witness the moment in person, he sent his love with a string of heart-eye and clapping emojis.

The couple met on the 2017 series of Strictly Come Dancing, where they were both paired with different partners – Gemma danced with Aljaz Skorjanec while Gorka was partnered with Alexandra Burke.
