Gemma Atkinson has shared a candid picture of her two dogs Norman and Olly watching over her after her waters broke.
Boyfriend Gorka took a snap of his girlfriend after her waters broke at home last week.
The former Hollyoaks actress, who gave birth last Thursday, is sat on the floor in her fluffy grey dressing gown while one of her dogs sits in between her legs and another lays just by her leg.
‘Gorks took this picture a few hours after my waters had broke. They didn’t leave my side, they were totally aware little sister was on her way,’ Gemma captioned the picture.

‘We don’t deserve dogs,’ one of her followers wrote, while another said, ‘For just a moment I thought Gorka had left you sitting there in your broken waters, then realised it was a shadow ?your dogs are just gorgeous and your little one so lucky to have such attentive big brothers ?.’

‘I’m slowly getting to grips with motherhood, learning loads and I’m loving being in this little cocoon with her.
