Gemma Atkinson has addressed a tragic loss she suffered when she was just a teen following the second episode of her reality show.

The Hits Radio host was back on the small screen this week alongside her Strictly Come Dancing star fiance Gorka Marquez. Gemma and Gorka's recent second pregnancy journey has been put in front of the cameras in their new show Gemma & Gorka: Life Behind the Lens.

They shared at the time of the show announcement how the 'wonderful crew' had been on hand to document their second pregnancy journey "showing not only the absolute utter chaos of our day-to-day lives at home juggling work, dogs, toddlers and hormones." The first episode saw Gemma and Gorka share all about the moment they first met six years ago before going on to welcome their first-born, daughter Mia, in 2019 before getting engaged on Valentine's Day in 2021 and welcoming their second child, son Thiago, in July this year.
