In another photo, meanwhile, the professional dancer could be seen tenderly kissing little Thiago on the head in a sweet display of affection.

For the cuddle session, Gorka dressed down in a simple black T-shirt, whilst Thiago looked so precious in a baby blue bodysuit.

Gorka's fiancée Gemma, 38, was also quick to mark her baby boy's milestone on social media. Taking to Instagram, the mother-of-two, who also shares daughter Mia with Gorka, uploaded a heartwarming video of Mia watching over "Tio" in his cot.

"Tio is a month old on Monday and yesterday we took Mia to buy her 'big school' uniform," Gemma wrote on her Instagram Story, adding a sad emoji.

"Parenting is wanting your kids to grow and thrive but at the same time stay little always," she admitted.

Lovebirds Gemma and Gorka welcomed their bundle of joy on 19th July, with Gemma undergoing an elective C-section. The couple announced the arrival of their baby boy via Instagram Stories, writing: "Little man is here! He arrived safe and sound and he's utterly wonderful."

"Mia is already the mother hen we expected her to be."

And since giving birth, former Hollyoaks star Gemma has been incredibly open about her postpartum body. Shortly after giving birth, she spoke frankly about her changing body, explaining how she's endeavouring to maintain a realistic outlook.

Gemma spoke candidly about her postpartum body

"I'm not expecting to look like my old self for months down the line yet. I haven't even left the house other than pottering about in the garden. I've been mindful to rest as much as I can to aid recovery down the line," she wrote on social media.

"Every morning I've told myself 'I can do this'. Every night feed, I've reminded myself 'thousands of women are now doing the exact same as me right now' and every time I look at Thiago I thank my body for growing, carrying and birthing him. 15 days ago he was in my tummy and that blows my mind completely. The miracle of life and the human body."
