After receiving abuse from fans, Strictly Come Dancing star Gemma Atkinson backed her fiancé Gorka Marquez’s parenting decision.

In a new interview with The Sun’s Fabulous magazine, Gemma Atkinson said that after their daughter Mia was born, Gorka and she received unpleasant remarks after he left for the Strictly tour just days after she arrived.

“We got a lot of grief for that. He had people messaging him saying: ‘What kind of father chooses his work over his child?’

“They didn’t realise he was contractually obliged – and how do they expect him to fund this child without working?”

This news comes after Gemma’s admirers speculated that she was pregnant again after she tweeted a flashback baby bump photo.

“And there’s me thinking you are both pregnant again,” one fan admitted on the star’s Instagram post.

A previous photo of her holding her daughter Mia when she was pregnant with her daughter Mia was included in the collection, as was another photo of her holding her daughter standing in the same area where the first photo was shot. Both photos were taken in Tenerife on a vacation.

Last year, Gemma Atkinson revealed her desire to have another child with Gorka on Steph’s Packed Lunch, saying, “I’m at the stage where I want a sister or brother for Mia.”

“The first few months of Mia’s life, I kept saying to my partner, Gorka, ‘I’m not going through that again’. I’ve now come of it, and I feel I could.”

Gemma Atkinson brought up the subject again in her interview with The Sun, revealing one of her heartfelt reasons for wanting Mia to have a brother.

“Yes, we’d definitely love to give Mia a sibling. I’m one of two, Gorka’s one of two. I think growing up it’s nice to have someone,” she said.

Going on to explain: “When my dad passed away, without my sister Nina there, I probably wouldn’t have coped very well at all. I would love for Mia to have that kind of support network.”
