He’s a sequin-spangled dancer on Strictly and she’s a charismatic actress-turnedDJ, but for Gorka Márquez and Gemma Atkinson it’s never about the glamour.
The loved-up pair are back with their reality show Gemma And Gorka: Life Behind The Lens, which brings the all-too-real adventures of their “Spancunian” household to their fans.
And while it features their celebrity lifestyles at fashion shoots, awards ceremonies and TV appearances, it never pulls away from the domestic reality of having two young children and two bouncy dogs.
“There is more poop in this one!” laughs Gemma. “That’s what new mums need to see. I would hate as a new mum to sit and watch this family looking pristine with the house spotless and everything in its place. I’d be thinking, ‘Oh b****r off! That’s not normal.’ We’ve kind of stuck to the same rules as we had for series one in that we don’t want any glam team, we don’t want any hair and make-up and or any lighting. We just want it natural, raw and honest.”
Like most modern mums, Gemma’s maternity leave has been frantic. While she’s taken nine months away from her DJ job, she’s still written a children’s book, embarked on a new fitness regime and filmed two series of her reality show.
“For someone who’s supposed to be on maternity leave doing nothing, I’ve done pretty much everything under the sun,” laughs Gemma.
