“It’s changed after having a baby, but that made me more determined to do this shoot – my body is not better or worse, just different.
“Maybe it’s important to show that to other women?… I was always straight up and down, like a surfboard, but now I’ve got a bit of a waist.
“When I put on high-waisted jeans, you can see I’ve got hips. I reckon I’m about 3% J Lo now, so I’m happy with that.”

Gemma also opened up on her approach to how she has been exercising since undergoing a C-section.
She told the publication: “The C-section completely floored me. I couldn’t brush my hair I was in so much pain.”
“A caesarean goes through seven layers of fat, tissue and muscle, so it takes a long time to get better and, for me, it wasn’t sensible to start exercising until around 15 weeks after Mia was born,” Gemma said.

To fit in her exercise as a new mum Gorka built her a gym in their home.
Gemma said: “Gorka knew how much my fitness meant to me, so he built a gym in our house.
“A big part of the battle for many people is getting to the gym in the first place, so knowing it’s only two seconds away makes it a lot easier.”
