Strictly's Gemma Atkinson talking to daughter Mia about a sibling

Strictly Come Dancing's Gemma Atkinson has said that while she'd "definitely love" to have another baby with partner Gorka Márquez, their 2-year-old daughter Mia isn't so keen on the idea just yet.

Taking to Instagram on Monday (October 25), the former Hollyoaks star shared a photo of herself holding Mia, from when the little one was just 10 days old, and explained that looking at all the old snaps made her feel broody.

"For around 12 seconds..." she joked, before adding: "We actually said to Mia not long ago 'Would you like another baby in the house with us?' to which she instantly replied 'No way mummy! Just me!'"

Back in 2019, Atkinson confirmed that she and Marquez were looking to have a second child but "not for a few years at least" as they wanted to enjoy their time with Mia first.

"I need to wait until she's at school at least, then I can sleep," she joked.

"I grew up with a sister, Gorka grew up with a brother, so I think it's nice to have someone to lean on and to share experiences with, to make memories with.

"Your siblings, they say they're the best link to your past and the best link to your future, because it's your buddy, so I'd love her to have that same bond with someone."

Gemma and Gorka got engaged on Valentine's Day this year, and received a sweet gift from Mia to celebrate the happy news.
