Gemma Atkinson leaves Sunday Brunch with her suitcase in tow as she prepares to swap London for Manchester after appearance on Channel 4 show

Gemma Atkinson looked cheery and fresh-faced as she headed home from her appearance on Sunday Brunch.

The former Hollyoaks star, 39, wrapped up warm in a long checkered peacoat over the top of an all-black outfit as she left the Television Centre in London for Manchester.

She let her  blonde locks flow free for the outing, and completed the look with a pair of teal green boots.

Gemma carried a dark red leather satchel on her back and pulled behind her a silver suitcase as she checked her phone.

The TV star is engaged Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka Marquez, 33, and has Mia, four, as well as son Thiago, 11 months, with him.

During her appearance on the Channel 4 show, she opened up about how the new series of her new W show Life Behind the Lens focused on her second pregnancy and how things had been the ‘complete opposite’ of how she had envisioned the first time round. 

‘When we did the first series, we were following my first pregnancy with Gorks. 

‘With my first pregnancy, I was  deemed high risk because of my age and because of what had happened with Mia.

‘[This time], we followed appointments with physios and the trials of a VBAC. 

‘It’s a vaginal birth after a C-section, because with Mia I had to have an emergency caesarean, and I had a post-partum hemorrhage. 

‘In my head, I thought I’d have a water birth and it’d be amazing but it was the complete opposite. ‘

The Hits Radio host is normally  quite guarded about her private life but also noted to hosts Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer that it was the death of her father that inspired her to let the cameras in.

She said: ‘When we go on holiday, Gorka takes pictures of all of us and he’s not in any of them.

‘And it dawned on me, when my dad passed away and I was only 17, I said “I’m gonna get all the pictures out of the loft”.

‘But he’d taken all the pictures, he was hardly in them.

‘So I said to Gorka “You need to be in this”, so the fact we’ve got all this footage now, is great for us.’
