Pregnant Gemma Atkinson shows off her baby bump in white crop top after hitting back at mum-shaming troll
GEMMA Atkinson showed off her baby bump as she stepped out in a white T-shirt tied at the navel.
The actress and presenter, who is now on maternity leave, looked radiant in comfortable bottoms and sliders as she chatted on the phone on the way to her car.
Gemma, 38, tied her blonde hair in a ponytail and wore black shades on a sunny day in Manchester.
Earlier this month, she hit back at a cruel troll who said pregnancy ‘doesn’t suit her’.
The former Hollyoaks actress is preparing to welcome her second child with Strictly Come Dancing’s Gorka Marquez.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Gemma said: “Quick question Mrs Sackler, do you mean suit me… pregnancy doesn’t suit me well?
“Fit me well doesn’t make sense does it hun, because nothing fits me.
“My bras, my knickers, my old face don’t fit my head. It’s pregnancy, it’s what happens.
“I’m sure you mean suit, just checking… before you troll someone, get it right.
“Pregnancy doesn’t suit her would’ve been better than doesn’t fit her well… just for next time.”
The soap star recently opened up about her concerns for both of her children in an Instagram post.
She shared a post about a young girl kickboxing with a trainer that had the caption: “I want my daughter to be kind.
“But I also want her to know that she can throat punch someone if she needs to.”
She also shared two accompanying snaps of her impressive workouts with the caption: “If not, mum will do it for you”.
The star continued: “On a serious note, it genuinely is one of my fears for both Mia and little man. So many stories of bullying & gangs & violence.
“Kindness first, but self-defence when needed will be drilled into them and Mia will be starting her classes from age 5.
“Nothing better than martial arts to teach respect, focus & discipline. @dazthaiboxer Get ready for my little lady to come and kick you.”
