Gemma Atkinson has been hit with a bitter backlash on social media – after she revealed that she’s hired a cleaner.
The former Hollyoaks star, 37, lives with her fiancé Gorka Marquez – who is a dancer on Strictly Come Dancing – and their two-year-old daughter Mia.
It comes just after Gorka was admitted to hospital after catching a ‘mystery illness’ – and had to be assessed by doctors overnight before being sent home.
Gemma recently admitted that a cleaner had visited the house – and it clearly left some people fuming.
She exposed the angry comments in a video clip posted on her Instagram Story – in front of her 1.7 million followers.

The radio host said: “Of all the things to get grief about on social!
“Today, for me, it’s because I had a cleaner yesterday.
“I can’t believe you don’t do your own cleaning, you’re supposed to be a parent – how lazy are you?”
She added: “You think you’ve got your hands full? I clean my house every day”

The actress reassured her fans that she does in fact clean her house up to three times a week.
The ex-glamour girl explained: “I clean my house once, twice, sometimes three times a week.
“I have a child, two dogs, and a guy.”
Gemma cheekily showed a face of disgust when she mentioned Gorka – joking that he was the “filfthiest” occupant of the house in a caption.

The mum said: “But once a month, I get a deep clean – from a cleaner!”
It’s not the first time that the Hits Radio UK presenter has had to deal with online trolls.
Atkinson opened up about her experience with trolls on ITV’s Loose Women – telling the panel that it was the comments about her child that affect her the most.
She said: “If you post anything on social media you have to accept that everyone has an opinion, some are good and some are bad.

“I’m really good at ignoring them…if it’s about me I’m kind of like ‘Whatever,’ [because] I’ve done this job since I was 15 but when it’s [my child]…
“They must be in a very unhappy place themselves to be able to do that to a six week old baby”
In November, it was announced that Gemma is set to reprise her role as Lisa Hunter in Hollyoaks.
She originally left the soap in 2005 before starring in three spin-off series of the show
