Gemma Atkinson thanks fans' kind' move as she wakes up to 'exciting' news with Gorka Marquez support

Gemma Atkinson was left pleasantly surprised when she was awoken to some exciting news. The Hits Radio host had no idea until Thursday morning (August 1) that she'd been named a winner at the National Reality TV Awards.

Both Gemma and her fiance Gorka Marquez were delighted back in June as it was confirmed they'd been nominated for a number of awards at the ceremony, which took place on Wednesday night (July 31) at the Porchester Hall in London.

Gemma, 39, and Gorka, 33, landed themselves in three different categories for their own reality show, Gorka: Life Behind the Lens. The radio host and Strictly Come Dancing star first appeared in their own show last year ahead of the arrival of their second child.

It showed the pair as they opened up their lives and Greater Manchester home to the cameras as they documented their second pregnancy journey and the "absolute utter chaos of our day-to-day lives at home juggling work, dogs, toddlers and hormones."

The couple, who met while on the BBC One dance contest in 2017, have since welcomed their son Thiago, known as Tio for short, into the world back in July, just over four years after Gemma and Gorka, welcomed their first child, Mia.

And following the success of series one, the family were commissioned another run of Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens for UKTV’s free-to-air entertainment channel W and streaming service UKTV Play, with the number of episodes bumped from three to six.

They then found themselves shortlisted in three categories at the National Reality Television Awards - in Best Docu-Series, Best Reality Non-Competition Show and Most Inspiring TV Show 2024 -
