Gemma Atkinson has shared the emotional sign she received while on holiday with her fiancé, Gorka Marquez, and their young family, two years after they suffered a devastating double loss.
The Hits Radio host is currently soaking up the sun and quality time with former Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka and their two children - Mia and Thiago - in Spain.
Gemma, who hails from Bury, recently shared a string of snaps on Instagram in which she couldn't hide her smile as she topped up her tan in a bikini. "Vitamin D, time on a beach & family = Bliss!" she captioned the post.
Gorka's holiday posts
Meanwhile, Gorka, who recently announced his plans to leave Strictly after 10 years ahead of the 2026 series, also shared his own holiday snaps with his Instagram followers, alongside which he wrote: "A few days in… sun-kissed, water-soaked, and making memories with my favourite people. #holidays #summer."
Sign from late dogs
Now, Gemma has taken to social media as her family holiday continues to share how she and Gorka had been talking about their late dogs, Norman and Ollie, who tragically died six months apart in 2024.
Sharing a picture to her Instagram Story on Thursday (July 30), two white feathers could be seen on the floor beside her, alongside which she wrote: "Was genuinely just having a conversation about Norman and Ollie... 2 mins later heading back to the room and these were in my path [heart and face holding back tears emojis]."
She followed up the post with a picture of herself with her two beloved pets, and emotionally shared: "Thank you for letting me know you're still checking in. My cheeky boys [heart emojis]."
Deaths of Norman and Ollie
Confirming Norman's death in July 2024, days before her daughter's fifth birthday, Gemma said: "My beautiful boy Norman has passed away. My heart is broken," alongside a moving video featuring pictures and clips of him from over the years with her and Ollie, as well as her Gorka and their two children.
Gemma, 41, then confirmed on December 10 that Ollie had been reunited with Norman, leaving her heartbroken. Sharing a video full of pictures and videos from over the years featuring Ollie as well as Norman, the Bury-born star wrote to her two million followers: "Sleep well beautiful Ollie..."
