The 34-year-old actress and her partner 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional Gorka Marquez welcomed their little bundle of joy into the world earlier this week and took to social media on Saturday (06.07.19) to announce the happy news.

Sharing a quote about family on Instagram, she captioned it: "And just like that, we're a three! Our beautiful baby daughter arrived on Thursday 4th July and myself and Gorks couldn't be happier ... Shes incredible and she certainly made an entrance, giving us all quite a fright at times! Little Miss independent already! Thank you SO much to the nurses & doctors at The Royal Bolton Hospital who did the most incredible job taking care of myself and my baby. You're all so wonderful and I'm so grateful to have had you all with me and to have been under your care these past 4 days ... Back home now for family time and to introduce little lady to her big brothers Norman & Ollie.... Let the next life chapter begin @gorka_marquez (sic)" Gorka paid tribute to Gemma, branding her his "absolute hero".

In a similar post on his own page, he wrote: "Our beautiful baby daughter arrived on Thursday 4th July and myself and Gem couldn't be happier ...
