Bikini-clad Gemma Atkinson and shirtless Gorka Marquez enjoy first kid-free break in seven years as she hits back at claims she 'doesn't like him' and her body language is 'awful'

Bikini-clad Gemma Atkinson and her fiancé Gorka Marquez have enjoyed their first kid-free break in seven years as they holidayed in Estepona in Spain. 

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the former Hollyoaks actress, 41, showcased her impressive physique in a plunging green bikini as she tucked into an ice cream. 

Gorka, 35, also showed off his six pack in snaps as they soaked up some well deserved couple time away from their children Mia, six, and two-year-old son Thiago.

The trip comes after Gemma hit back at claims she 'doesn't like' Gorka after viewers reacted to her 'awful' body language on the couple's podcast Lost In Translation. 

In the latest episode, the former Strictly star told Gemma: 'We've had some messages about your body language.' 

Gemma then explained: 'Oh yeah, as you can see, we're on a couch, which is facing forwards. The fact we even have to explain this is hilarious. 

'So we turn in to face each other. For those who aren't aware, I've got quite big shoulders. I've got shoulders like boulders. It's really comfy to me to sit like this. [with her arms crossed]'. 

Gorka added: 'You have big t*ts also.' 

Gemma continued: 'Big t*ts, big shoulders. So I like sitting with my arms crossed. I do it in meetings at work.

'But apparently it's because I don't like you, and my body language to you is awful and off.'

Gorka said: 'It is true in body language that means that not that you don't like the other person, but you are not open to being receptive.'

Gemma hit back: 'But in reality it's because I'm on a couch that I'm having to twist and face you, and it's comfortable. 

'They keep saying, "sort your body language out. Your body language is awful." I can't even relax on my own podcast couch without being judged. We listen and don't judge Mother Effers.'

Gorka added: 'I think we should ask the team to change the chairs. We need chairs that I said to you facing each other. We have 1 million listeners. We can afford those chairs.' 

Last month Gorka told Gemma to 'stop using their kids' to get her own way, moments after she claimed he 'pushed the narrative she was never nice'.

The couple were chatting about pets and Gemma explained how she'd love to get another dog, despite Gorka's objections, and recently came across pooches up for adoption while at a local fair with their children.

He said: 'Don't try and use the kids to get another dog, you're convincing them so I'm going to have to give in and get another dog, do not do that'

'That's the plan then' she quipped, to which Gorka replied: 'Get another dog, but I go 365 days [a year] on tour'.

Earlier in the show Gemma welcomed listeners, as well as Gorka, who was recording elsewhere in the country amid his UK tour.

He said: 'Thank you for being nice to me' only for Gemma to snap: 'What do you mean thank you for being nice to you? like I am never nice to you'

'I am winding you up' Gorka laughed.

While Gemma went on: 'You need to stop that narrative because people are going to be coming for me thinking I am snide to you, I am the kindest person to you, the things I do for you and us are in abundance my friend'.
