Gemma Atkinson, 34, recently departed Hits Radio to go on maternity leave and, yesterday, used the extra hours in her day to try out a new domestic hobby. In a clip which she uploading to her Instagram story, in view of her one million followers, the pregnant actress announced: “I don’t know what’s possessed me, but I’ve decided to bake a cake. I don’t bake. I’m gonna bake a red velvet cake and just eat it myself.” Related articles Gemma Atkinson: Strictly star’s beau Gorka Marquez reveals fears Gemma Atkinson: Strictly star talks LABOUR amid pregnancy with Gorka S**t like this annoys me Gemma Atkinson However, her baking adventure took a frustrating turn when she encountered a road block when it came to her cake tin. Holding up the pan, she showed a sticker which was half torn off on the base. “S**t like this annoys me,” she fumed. “Why are these not easy peel?! “They’re on a breaking tray that needs to be washed just— I feel like using it as a f***ing frisbee,” she ranted. Gemma then threw the tin across the room in irritation. Her annoyance soon passed, however, and the former Strictly Come Dancing star got stuck in to making the icing for her bake.
