The UK is currently sweltering in a heatwave but actor and broadcaster Gemma Atkinson had a change of scene as she soaked up the sun in Spain with her man Gorka Marquez. Gemma, 37, headed to the beach with Gorka, who is from Bilbao in northern Spain, and their adorable daughter Mia, three.

Former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star Gemma, from Bury, shared video clips and photos on her Instagram of the family as they took in the stunning scenery and glorious sunshine. The trio went bodyboarding while at the beach.

She spoke about how lucky Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka is to have grown up living just 15 minutes away while joking that they live the same distance from a Co-op back in the UK.
