Hits Radio host Gemma Atkinson, engaged to Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka Marquez since 2021, surprised fans by donning a white gown on the red carpet, sparking rumors of a secret wedding.
Despite the speculation, Gemma faced backlash for her outfit choice, with social media critics accusing her of seeking attention at the Pride Of Britain Awards.
On their podcast Lost In Translation, Gemma expressed disbelief at the accusations, clarifying that their last-minute attendance at the event left no time for such planning. Gorka defended Gemma, emphasizing that they had not anticipated the negative feedback.
Gemma further explained that the white gown was misunderstood as a bridal dress, revealing her preference for a different wedding outfit, contrasting the attire worn at the awards ceremony.
Discussing their future wedding plans, Gorka disclosed that they intend to wait until their son Thiago becomes more independent before tying the knot, prioritizing their children’s comfort during the celebration.
The couple’s wedding vision includes a non-traditional outfit for Gemma, featuring a fitted lace bodysuit with trousers and a skirt, reflecting their unique style and practical considerations for the big day.
