Gemma Atkinson has joked that her other half Gorka Marquez is being a bit 'snide' as he refused to join her on her quest to fill their home - with animals. While they're no stranger to it, the couple are currently spending time apart as dancer Gorka competes in this year's Strictly Come Dancing . As well as performing each weekend at the London-based studio, Gorka is also busy training alongside celebrity dance partner Dr Punam Krishan in Glasgow, where the pracitsing GP is based.
So Gemma and Gorka rely on FaceTime to stay in touch as their working commitments take them in different directions and away from their children - Mia and Thiago.

But Gemma is clearly keeping him updated on the ins and outs of life back in Greater Manchester - including providing him with her latest request.
Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the Hits Radio host shared a video of a woman showing her followers her 'cow's bath routine'. Sharing the post to her Instagram Story, Gemma laughed: "Instantly googled 'pet cows'". It wasn't until later that she returned and posted a picture of herself on FaceTime to Gorka and while she looked excited.
