Gemma Atkinson laughs off brazen claims about her baby 'not being Gorka's'

Gemma Atkinson ignored the cruel trolls who suggested her fiancé Gorka Marquez isn't the father of her unborn child.

The former Hollyoaks actress, who met Gorka on Strictly Come Dancing, announced her pregnancy over the weekend.

She revealed her bump became "impossible to hide" and that she would be expecting a baby boy - her first son after welcoming daughter Mia in 2019.

Following the announcement, trolls emerged from the darkness to post cruel comments about the 38-year-old's pregnancy.

She appeared on her Hits Radio show alongside co-host Mike Toolan to read out some of the comments.

Gemma read out a comment targeting her body, saying: "This is one from a guy called Steve-O. [He says] ‘Well, that’s her body ruined'."

The star and Mike couldn't hold in their laughter after reading the comment.

Gemma continued: "I’m assuming Steve-O was birthed at one point. What does his mother look like?”"

She went on to read another comment: "Are we sure this baby’s even Gorka’s? The amount of fellas she had, it could be anyone's! Hope this relationship fails."

Mike and Gemma found the funny side of the unnecessary post and moved on.

The clip was shared on Hits Radio's official Instagram page and fans rushed to the comment section to praise the star for taking the comments in stride.

"Love how you just get on with it and ignore the haters," one impressed user commented while another added: "I bloody love this, instead of hurting you, which is what they intended.. they've provided us all with a laugh. haters make great comedians in a happy environment."

"Gemma is pure class, love her and how she just laughs in the face of hate. Trolls will never win. Congratulations Gemma and Gorka another addition to your beautiful family xx," another impressed fan said.

Gemma shared the news of her pregnancy with a sweet black and white photo of herself in tracksuit bottoms and a vest top as she gazed down at her bump.

She tweeted: "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."
