Gemma Atkinson fumes 'give me strength' as she's slammed over new baby's nursery
Pregnant Gemma Atkinson shut down trolls after she was slammed over her new baby's adorable nursery.
The 38-year-old and her fiancé Gorka Marquez are expecting their second child together, with the two announcing the news back in January.
Gemma has used her social media to share small updates on her pregnancy journey with her 1.8 million.
The star recently explained how her daughter Mia's move into her big bedroom meant they could transform the old room into a nursery.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she explained: "Well, she's not moving into it today but we're decorating it today because I want to get her into her big room before little man comes.

"Obviously, he'll be in our room for a little bit but then he'll go in her room and I don't want her to think she's been turfed out."

"The rooms are finished!" Gemma wrote. "Mia's 'big girl' room is done and little man's nursery is painted. Just need to get final bits of furniture down from the loft.
"We're reusing Mia's old cot and drawers."
She went on to show off the mural which included the sign 'Mia's Magic Fairy Forest' as well as gorgeous drawings of a fairy and a unicorn in an enchanted forest.
Her baby's room is just as personalised. Gemma showed off the baby blue walls covered in drawings of animals relaxing on clouds.

"For little man I wanted animals on the wall, obvs, but look at the best bit..." she said in the clip.
Despite the wholesome content, trolls found something to be upset about and spent time DMing the star.
"Not saying this in a judgy way because I think it's absolutely beautiful and I'm sure you've chosen something you know she will love..." Gemma shared one of the messages.

"But it really plays into society's gender stereotypes for girls, doesn't it? Pink, fairies, rainbows, pretty things... And blue for a boy."
The star is expecting her second child with Gorka (Dave Nelson)Gemma responded: "I've had a few of these msgs and I find it really baffling.
"We didn't choose Mia's room. She did. She told the painter all [of] her favourite colours & [the] characters she wanted. I designed the nursery with animals which I love & blue is my favourite colours. Always has been because it reminds me of the ocean."
She continued: "I've actually never been into pink. It doesn't mean I'm going against a stereotype or I want to be a boy or that I'm anti 'girl colours'. It simply means that my favourite colour is blue and not pink."
"Jesus Christ give me strength today," she concluded along with a few laughing emojis.
