Overview

  • Late Saturday night, Gemma rushed two-year-old Thiago to Bolton A&E following a “scary” incident, and he was treated until 1am before making a full recovery
  • On Sunday, the family held a joint christening for Thiago and six-year-old Mia, dressing them in traditional white for the church service
  • Both parents posted photos and videos of the hospital trip, birthday party and christening online, drawing supportive messages from fans and former Strictly colleagues
  • The weekend’s celebrations come after UKTV shelved the couple’s reality series, leading them to hint at new joint projects
  • Since meeting on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 and engaging in 2021, Gemma and Gorka have made clear that two children remain their “magic number”
