She has her work cut out with her gruelling exercise regime and gets up at 4.30am to train before work.

But Gemma Atkinson, 30, has told OK! magazine that she's thinking of adding a baby into the mix.

The Emmerdale actress, who has been dating personal trainer Olly Foster for the past two years, has revealed that she's planning to start a family of her own before she hits 32.

While the fitness fanatic has been focused on her health just lately, she said her broodiness ramped up a notch when she was introduced to her former Hollyoaks co-star Mikyla Dodd's little one.

She explained: 'I am a bit broody after seeing Mikyla baby.

'I always said I'd have a baby at 32 – my mum had me at 32 – so hopefully we'll do that in a few years if God allows it.'

Decisions, decisions! Gemma also admitted that she would be willing to sacrifice a big white wedding in favour of having a child if she had to decide between the two

Gemma met Olly when she hired him as a personal trainer in 2013 and the pair clearly love working up a sweat together in the gym.

On her workout regime, she told the mag: 'I train five mornings a week – which, if I'm working, means getting up at 4.30am to train before work.'

And the fruits of her efforts are clear to see in her latest shoot for OK!

The star looks incredibly trim and toned as she poses in a sporty crop top and black briefs, shamelessly flaunting her taut tum and pert posterior.

The pretty blonde showed off her muscular physique as she hold on to a pair of gymnastic rings in fingerless gloves.

In the sexy snap she wore her ombre hair in messy waves and flashes a huge smile as she worked up a sweat in the well-lit fitness area.

She also confessed how her attitude to her body has changed. She explained: 'I used to think being skinny was the way forward.

'Now my body role models are Jennifer Nicole Lee [an American fitness model] and Ronda Rousey, the female mixed martial arts fighter. I like it when you can see a woman works hard for their shape.'

Opening up about how losing her father at 17 has motivated her healthy lifestyle, Gemma said: 'He was only 52 – he didn't smoke or drink, he ate well and he died of a heart attack. I don't think you should fret about the little stuff but that experience definitely made me appreciate life more. '

The actress joined Emmerdale this year after prior appearances in Hollyoaks and Casualty. She's also signed up to the forthcoming celebrity edition of Ninja Warrior UK which also stars mark Wright and will be hosted by Rochelle Humes and Ben Shepherd.

Pop star Frankie Bridge has debuted her second son for the first time.

Speaking about his unexpected early arrival, with her waters breaking three days before a planned Caesarean, she tells the magazine: ‘Wayne was great throughout the birth, he was holding my hand and telling me what was going on.

‘He was peering over trying to take a video. At one point the surgeon had to ask him to sit down because he was getting in the way!’

Now a mum of two boys under two, the brunette beauty opens up about coping with a new addition to her home: ‘There was a moment on the first night back home when Carter’s crying woke him up and we wondered how the hell we were going to make it work, but he seems to have got used to it now – thank goodness!’

Frankie announced the birth of her second child on Twitter in August.

She took to Twitter just hours after welcoming Carter, writing: 'Our gorgeous baby boy Carter Bridge was born this morning.

'He is absolutely perfect - Parker is so excited to be a big brother!'

Parker is her oldest son, who was born in October 2013.

The happy news comes after former Strictly contestant Frankie revealed the pregnancy had been a struggle after she began suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, the same severe morning sickness Kate Middleton was diagnosed with during both of her pregnancies.

Speaking to The Mirror about her ordeal, Frankie said: 'At one point I just lay on the floor because even moving my eyes made me feel ill.

'Women should be honest about the fact that although having a baby is wonderful, it can be hard. It’s a massive body change and life change and comes with a whole wave of emotions.'

Frankie, who has been in the public eye since finding fame with S Club Juniors at the age of 12, also admitted that she won't be rushing into trying to shift her post-baby weight, saying she won't just 'snap back into shape by magic' and that's a reality for women.

Frankie announced she was expecting her second child in January, and had to pull out of the Strictly Come Dancing national tour because she was too ill to perform.

At the time of her big reveal, Frankie posted to her Twitter fans: 'So excited to tell you that Wayne & I are expecting another baby later this year. We cant wait for Parker to have a little brother or sister.

'Sadly I'm really unwell with my pregnancy and won't be able to take part in the Strictly tour. I'm SO sorry. I was so looking forward to it.

She also said in a statement: 'Wayne and I are delighted to announce that we are expecting our second baby. It is very early days, but we couldn't be happier and Parker will make a wonderful big brother.'

She has been the face of breakfast TV for more than 30 years.

But Lorraine Kelly has revealed that her 'proper job' is being a mother as she posed alongside her lookalike daughter Rosie, 20, at their London home.

Wearing a plunging blue jumpsuit and strappy platforms, she revealed it wasn't always the plan for Rosie to be an only child.

She said: ‘Another baby would have been super. But, hey, it didn’t happen.

'I had a miscarriage when Rosie was about five.’

Rosie, who is currently studying journalism, said: ‘I do remember. We were in Dundee. I was in the car with Dad following the ambulance. I was okay, though – I had no idea what was going on.’

She admitted that growing up in the limelight was hard ‘at times’.

Snuggling up alongside her mother wearing an orange high-waisted skirt and yellow top, she said: ‘I don’t really see her as famous. She’s just my mum.’

Lorraine agreed, saying her role as a mother will always take precedence over her career.

She said: ‘I have that strong work ethic in me. But really I’m just Rosie’s mum. That’s my proper job.’

Rosie has previously spoken about growing up with a famous mother, saying she was confused when anyone asked Lorraine for an autograph.

'There was never a sudden moment when I realised my mother was not like other mothers,' Rosie explained in Daily Mail's Weekend magazine last year.

'I do remember when I was very young and we were out shopping being baffled that people were asking her for her autograph.

'I'd say, 'Why are you scribbling your name on bits of paper for people?' It all seemed very strange.

'People often ask me what it's like having a famous mother, but my mum's been famous all my life so I've never known any different.

'Of course, it has its ups and downs, but deep down she's always been just Mum to me.'

Lorraine has been married to Rosie's father Stevie since 1992.

The Scottish presenter who has hosted Good Morning Britain and ITV's Daybreak also revealed why she is anti-botox.

She said: ‘I’ve seen far too many people looking like Klingons and I don’t want to look like that.’

When she was told that columnist Kym Marsh was considering the procedure she said: ‘No, tell her no! She’s too pretty. She doesn’t need to do anything.’
