GEMMA AND GORKA: LIFE BEHIND THE LENS

NEW WEDNESDAY, 8PM, W FACTUAL

It's only been five days since she gave birth to her second child, Thiago, but actor Gemma Atkinson looks positively glowing as TV Times catches up with her and her fiancé, professional dancer Gorka Márquez, via video call.

The couple, who met on BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, have joined us for an exclusive chat about their new W series, Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens.

The three-parter sees them share their pregnancy journey and give a no-holds-barred account of juggling hectic work schedules with a growing family, which also includes their four-year-old daughter, Mia.

'It's important to show the real stuff,' says former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star Gemma. 'It's not all glitz and glam, which I think is an assumption when you're in the public eye.'

Here, Gemma, 38, and Gorka, 32, who live in Manchester, tell us about their new life as a family of four...

Congratulations on the arrival of baby Thiago! How are you both feeling?
