Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez are set to star in their own reality TV series, providing viewers with an unfiltered look at their lives. The three-part series for W and UKTV Play will air this summer and will focus on 38-year-old Gemma's pregnancy right up until the birth.
The couple first met on the 2017 series of Strictly Come Dancing, when Gemma was partnered with Aljaž Škorjanec and professional dancer Gorka was with singer Alexandra Burke. Since then, they have welcomed their first child, daughter Mia back in July 2019, and are now preparing to welcome their second baby.
Announcing the project, Gemma said: "We’re so excited to be working with W on a project which, not only takes people into our lives behind closed doors, but also one that raises awareness of vaginal birth after Caesarean delivery, and an honest look into the journey of a second pregnancy after a previous traumatic birth."
During Mia's delivery, Gemma required an emergency C-section when the baby's heart rate dropped suddenly. She hopes to use the show to raise awareness of VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean), as she has received many questions from people who have gone through something similar. Gemma said: "We get lots of questions from people who have experienced something similar so it will be a great way for viewers to receive information from professionals who we meet along the way. To be able to sit and film with midwives, pelvic floor specialists, doctors and get all that info, as well as showing the chaos we live in as parents, we thought it’d help a lot of people."
Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens promises to be a unique look into the lives of the Strictly Come Dancing couple as they embark on this new journey. The series will air this summer and will provide viewers with an honest and intimate look at the couple as they navigate their second pregnancy.
