Gemma Atkinson admits to feeling 'sad' amid 'hardest part' of new baby life after son's birth

Gemma Atkinson has shared the 'strange feeling' she had after her son's birth and why she recently felt 'sad' as she soaks up time in her baby bubble. The Hits Radio host is just over two weeks into life as a mum-of-two after welcoming her second child with fiance Gorka Marquez.

The couple announced back in January they were expecting a baby boy this summer and just over four years after welcoming their firstborn daughter Mia into the world, their son made his entrance and Gemma, 38, and Strictly Come Dancing star Goka, 32, later confirmed their son's name as being Thiago Thomas Marquez, or Tio for short.

Bury-born Gemma has since been sharing updates on her new life as a family of four including opening up about her C-section delivery and sharing her post-baby body. But on Thursday (August 3), the star took to Instagram to take part in a Q&A with her followers.

One of the first questions she was asked was what the hardest part about going from one child to two to which she candidly typed in response: "For me, splitting my time between the two. We read to Mia every single night and last night Tio needed feeding at the same time as her bedtime read."

The former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale actress went on to share: "I got round it by suggesting she read to us while I fed him on my knee and she did and loved it. But I went o bed feeling a little sad that I hadn't done what we do most nights."

She also explained: "I can't yet feed him in a sling due to my scar. He has to be [laying] on me or in the rugby ball position next to me so I'm not bearing all the weight. Once I can feed him hands-free it'll help with anything like that
