Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez and fiance Gemma Atkinson have a huge announcement for their fans. The duo are allowing the cameras behind closed doors once again for the second series of their show, Life Behind the Lens.
The six-part series, which is set to return later this year, will give people a glimpse into their lives completely unfiltered. Getting an intimate look into their world, Gemma and Gorka will share their full-on family chaos since becoming a family of four.
Ahead of the new season, the pair have detailed how excited they are to be back on screens once again. They said: “The messages we received, and are still receiving from the first series, have blown us away. We’re glad so many families can relate to ours and the crazy, wonderful, and exhausting world of parenthood!”
Throughout the episodes, viewers will see Gemma enjoy the rest of her maternity leave before returning to work in April. There’s also a trip to Gorka’s hometown in Spain and the release of Gemma’s first children's book.
A synopsis for the upcoming series reads: “Their lives are anything but quiet, having little time in their hectic schedule and new career opportunities also reaching an all-time high. The couple are determined to make the most of the precious time they have together with Mia and baby Thiago, and viewers will be there every step of the way!”
It’s not yet known the exact date of when the second of Life Behind the Lens will air, although it’s been confirmed to broadcast on W and UKTV Play later this year.
Commissioned by Helen Nightingale, UKTV’s head of factual and factual entertainment, she had nothing but praise when speaking about the engaged duo.
She said: “Their warm and relatable relationship, and hilariously unfiltered moments from series one, have left audiences wanting more.
“I can’t wait to see what else the family have in store for us in this next instalment.”

Recently, there’s been speculation that the duo are going through a rough patch due to Gorka’s new role as a judge on the Spanish version of Strictly Come Dancing.
Reports started to emerge that they were struggling to adjust to Gorka’s absence from home due to his work commitments.
However, Gemma took to social media this week to shut down the rumours by reassuring her followers on Instagram.
When asked by a fan if she’d seen the speculation, she replied: “Yes we did see them stories.
“There was a few floating around weren't there, which is news to us. It is what it is, isn't it? Happens all the time dunnit. It's not true." (sic)
Gemma further shut down the speculation of their relationship troubles when she reposted a story which Gorka had uploaded, which showed her tucking into a meal at home.
With a string of laughing emojis, she commented: "On the rocks? or a rough patch? Which was was it?"
Gorka and Gemma first met on the BBC dance show back in 2017 and share two children together.
