So cute!
Gemma appears to be feeling quite nostalgic as she prepares to welcome her first child with Strictly boyfriend Gorka Marquez in the next few weeks. On Thursday she reflected on her own childhood ahead of the birth. Taking to Instagram, the former Emmerdale actress shared a photo of herself as a child, and wrote in the caption about how she didn't mind whether her baby was a boy or a girl. She said: "Boy or girl it doesn’t matter, as looking back at old pictures of myself I realise I went through a stage of looking like both thanks to my incredible haircut. I used to stand on a stool, kitchen towel round my neck and let mum chop away. Thanks Mum."
