Gorka Marquez playfully teased his fiancée Gemma Atkinson on their joint podcast, "Lost in Translation," suggesting she is famous for "flashing her tits." The remark came as the couple addressed comments from online trolls. When a listener asked what Atkinson is famous for, Marquez quickly interjected with the jest before adding "actress."
Atkinson, who gained fame as Lisa Hunter on the British soap opera "Hollyoaks" and has appeared in other serial dramas like "Casualty" and "Emmerdale," responded by listing her acting credits and her past work with men's magazines. She noted her role as FHM's "Sexiest Woman" in the early 2000s, cheekily adding, "Your dad will know."
The exchange elicited amusement from podcast listeners, with many commenting on the couple's humor and Atkinson's varied career.
While known for their banter, the couple has also shared more emotional moments on the podcast. In a previous episode, Marquez was visibly moved by a Father's Day message from their six-year-old daughter, Mia. The message listed five things Mia loved about him, including his role as a dad, his teaching abilities, and his helpfulness, eliciting tears from Marquez.
Atkinson and Marquez, a professional dancer on "Strictly Come Dancing," began their relationship in 2017. They are parents to Mia and a younger son, Thiago. Marquez previously confirmed his departure from "Strictly Come Dancing" after stepping down as a full-time professional due to scheduling conflicts with "Dancing With The Stars Spain."
