Their warm and relatable relationship, and hilariously unfiltered moments from series one, have left audiences wanting more and I can't wait to see what else the family have in store for us in this next instalment."

In series 2, we see Gemma making the most of her maternity leave before she's ready to return to work in April. Meanwhile, Gorka's just completed his latest stint on Strictly Come Dancing 2023, so he's busier than ever.

Elsewhere, they've got a building project imminent, as well as planning a trip to Gorka's hometown in Spain, while Gemma is promoting her first children's book release. 

Amid this hectic schedule, the couple are trying to spend as much precious time with Mia and baby Thiago, with viewers following along every step of the way.
