Gemma Atkinson asks 'what have you done' as she questions Gorka Marquez birthing decision ahead of second child

Gemma Atkinson has jokingly fumed 'what have you done' after sharing Gorka Marquez's reaction to being asked about his role during the upcoming birth of their second child.

Last month, the Hits Radio host took to her Instagram Story to share a string of videos of herself talking to the camera after a check-up with her midwife. She shared how she and Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka had been talking about the upcoming birth.

Gemma, 38, shared how she hopes she'll have a water birth this time and when her partner was asked if he had thought about his 'role' in the process, the mum-of-two-to-be was left laughing at his response.

To which Gemma said: "Well, he looked at me and he went, 'Catch it? What you mean catch it?'" She explained that the midwife told him that when their son is born, he could pull him up and place up onto Gemma's chest.

"And he looked at me and went, 'No, that's not my plan. No. My plan is to be near the head. Gemma's head'," the former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks star went on to say. "And then about 10 minutes later he cut me off again [and] he went, 'Do some men do that? Really?'

"I think he invasions it like, do you know them machines that shoot tennis balls for tennis
