Gemma Atkinson says her boobs have shot up three sizes since falling pregnant - and fiancé Gorka Marquez refuses to hide his delight.
The former Hollyoaks actress, 38, has revealed that she and the pro dancer are expecting a baby boy after welcoming daughter Mia in 2019.
Soon-to-be mum-of-two Gemma posted three stunning photos of herself to announce the news with her 1.8 million Instagram followers as many rushed to congratulate the pair on the big news.
But as she knows, it's not always easy when you're expecting.

But it's not all great news (Gemma Atkinson/Instagram)She came into view to say hello as Gemma updated her followers with an Instagram video to say she was forced to hit the shops to cope with the extra up top.
Gemma told her followers that she's expecting to be three sizes up and, light-heartedly poking fun at the bra she was wearing, she joked that it might as well be "basketballs in socks."
She said to the camera: "I'm off to buy some bras today because these may as well be a basketball in a sock.
"I need an an oomph bra." As Mia came into view she explained: "I went up three sizes with Mia which is fine because they were full of milk to feed you."

The couple, who met while Gemma was competing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, already have cute three-year-old daughter, Mia.
Posting on Instagram on Saturday morning Gemma shared a black and white picture of herself caressing her blooming bump.
She wrote: "Impossible to hide my belly any longer. I’ve officially “popped.” Our baby boy will be joining our family later this year.
"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 doting mum, who welcomed Mia with dancer Gorka in July 2017, joked that she's "prepared for chaos" - but cannot wait.

She said: "My sister's got two lads and a girl so fully prepared for the chaos....Cannot wait, bring it on."
Gemma has been asked by fans if she's still been training while pregnant.
She answered: "Absolutely although obviously my programs have been adjusted accordingly and I've listened to my body as always. I've had days of training and eating well followed by days of wanting to stay in bed eating bagels. Hormones are a crazy thing."
