BBC Strictly Come Dancing stars are going to try for a baby

BBC Strictly Come Dancing duo Gorka Marquez and Gemma Atkinson are set to try for baby number two. The soap star has made the announcement in a fresh interview.

In an interview with The Sun, Gemma revealed the pair would likely try for baby number two before they say “I do”. Gemma said: “We’ve said we would prefer to try for another baby rather than have a big, fancy wedding.

“There are people who will spend £50k on a wedding and you think, oh my God. Twice we thought about going to the register office and just doing it and then having a big party.”

The pair have been engaged since February last year, having met five years on the BBC One show. She wrote: "Valentine’s forever...Of course I said yes"

Gorka shared the same picture, adding: "The best day with my forever Valentine’s... I asked and she said YES!!!!!! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone" The couple met on Strictly in 2017, and fell for each other although they weren't partnered up.

Gemma previously addressed the idea of a wedding on Steph's Packed Lunch. Speaking on the Channel 4 show, she said: "I don’t know if I could be bothered with everything. I’d say no, not yet.

"I’m assuming part of the nice bit of the wedding is the build-up whereby you both plan it together – I know it will be stressful." She went on: "I would be up for a quick wedding, you know, a local registry office, get it done, boom. But I wouldn’t if he demanded it here and now, no."
