Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka Márquez has marked one month since the birth of his son Thiago with a sweet selfie on Instagram.

Last month, Gorka welcomed his second child with ex-Hollyoaks actress Gemma Atkinson and has now marked the milestone on his social media.

"A month with you… Little T," he wrote alongside the images, which saw baby Thiago lying asleep in Gorka's arms.

Gorka's friends and followers were quick to share their love in the comments. "Aww Thiago is absolutely cute and adorable," one fan wrote. "Wow a month already?! Time flies," another added.

TV presenter and upcoming Strictly contestant Angela Scanlon commented a raised hands emoji, while former dance partner Helen Skelton and Strictly co-star Vito Coppola each added a string of hearts.

Gorka and Gemma first met in 2017 when Gemma was competing on Strictly. Despite not being paired together, the two hit it off.

Alongside baby Thiago, Gorka and Gemma also welcomed their daughter Mia in 2019 before announcing their engagement in 2021.

It's been a busy couple of months for the pair, who are also starring in a new TV show about juggling work and a growing family for UKTV channel W, which will air at the end of the month.
