Looking stunning in a white long-sleeve dress, the mum-of-one beamed for the cameras as she cradled her tummy.
Following her appearance at the ITV show, Gemma has given fans another update to let fans know she is still very much pregnant.
Sharing the snap with her 1.8 million Instagram followers, she wrote: “Had my appointment with @private_midwives yesterday.
“Little man is exactly where he needs to be. Head down arse up. Head is well and truly down there now which I’m reminded of everytime I walk, sit, get in and out the car or pick up Mia.”
Adding in a couple of crying laughing emojis to indicate she’s very feeling ready to give birth now, Gemma jokingly added a speech bubble coming from one of her bewildered dog’s head saying “what’s in there”.
Gemma and Gorka met and fell head over heels in love whilst filming Strictly Come Dancing in 2017.
Although they were not coupled-up together on the dance floor, they got together after the show ended.
The actress and radio host is now on maternity leave from her role as a DJ on Hits Radio with the station announcing her friend Brooke Vincent will cover as the new host while she is away.
Discussing the exciting news, Brooke said: "I am thrilled to be keeping Gemma's seat warm for her whilst she's away. I've just had some time off being a mum myself, so I know how she's feeling, and I've assured Gemma her show is in safe hands.

"It's equally exciting and daunting to be filling in, but I love the Hits Radio family and can't wait to be on air, live from Manchester every day, chatting with Mike and all the listeners."
