Hits Radio presenter Gemma Atkinson looked sensational on Saturday as she celebrated her milestone 40th birthday.
For the special occasion, the mother-of-two enjoyed a reunion with friends at a swanky bar complete with a twinkling skyline view.
In a snapshot shared to Instagram, Gemma was shown posing in a sparkling silver dress adorned with reflective sequins. Flashing a broad grin, she oozed confidence in her strapless garment which featured a cinched-in waistline and a tulip skirt.
Ramping up the glitz, the former Hollyoaks actress teamed her frock with some sheer black tights and a pair of gem-encrusted black heels.

As for makeup, Gemma opted for a glam beauty blend consisting of bold eyeliner, defined eyebrows, glossy lips and radiant highlighter.
The TV star’s fiance Gorka Marquez was quick to pay tribute to Gemma on her special day. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, he uploaded a carousel of heartwarming photos which he captioned: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY baby!!!! 40 never looked better to me. I was supposed to get you a gift but I am the one who got it.”

His post sparked a sweet fan reaction, with many racing to share their thoughts in the comments section. “Age is but a number! Love life and it will love you,” while a second noted: “Love these pics, have a great day” and a third added: “Just the cutest couple. Happy birthday Gemma, hope you have the best day.”
Together Gemma and Gorka, who got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2021, are doting parents to daughter Mia, four, and son Thiago, one. The pair met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2017 and later went public with their relationship the following year.
The pair don’t appear to be in a rush to walk down the aisle, with Gemma exclusively telling us in April this year: “The fewer people, the better… Ideally, I’d wear a trouser suit, but that might not go down well.”

She continued: “We were thinking that we could go to a registry office and do it with just the two of us and then have a massive party. But then, as that got closer, I was thinking that I’d regret not having my sister and niece as bridesmaids, so we were like: ‘No, let’s not rush. Let’s wait until the perfect time and do it then.'”
