Gemma Atkinson had fans flooding her with their own experiences as she shared a relatable pregnancy moment on the radio. The Hits Radio host is currently preparing to temporarily bow out of hosting the drivetime show with Mike Toolan on the station as she goes on maternity leave.

Gemma, 38, is expecting her second child with her Strictly Come Dancing star fiance Gorka Marquez and shared the wonderful news with fans back in January.
