<\/p>\nGORKA M\u00e1rquez has revealed he struggles with dad guilt thanks to his very busy work schedule as a professional dancer. <\/p>\n
The Strictly Come Dancing star opened up in a first look clip at his new TV show Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind the Lens. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Gorka, 32, just welcomed second child Thiago with Gemma Atkinson, 38 – with the pair already sharing daughter Mia, four. <\/p>\n
But ahead of the birth of their son, he admitted he did find it tricky to juggle his dancing work and his family life. <\/p>\n
He said: "Being a parent I think is the best thing. <\/p>\n
"Apart from all the material things, having a good life together as a family – I just love it. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
"It's hard for me because I am away quite a lot with my job so sometimes I feel like I'm missing some of the best things of parenthood. <\/p>\n
"When Mia was born I was on tour, came home for the labour and the birth and then three days after I had to go again. <\/p>\n
"Hopefully this time around we'll have more time together."<\/p>\n
Gemma and Gorka filmed a fly-on-the-wall series while Gemma was still pregnant with baby Thiago, who was born last month. <\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The new three-part documentary series follows Gemma's journey after she fell pregnant for a second time.<\/p>\n Following the birth, she confirmed that dad Gorka would only have minimal time with his newborn son before heading off to film for the BBC competition. <\/p>\n The actress announced the news on her social media, writing: "Little man is here. He arrived safe and sound and he\u2019s utterly wonderful. Mia is already the mother hen we expected her to be.<\/p>\n "We\u2019re all home together soaking up this lovely little bubble before Gorks has to leave for Strictly rehearsals next week.<\/p>\n "Thank you for all your lovely well-wishes. Our family is complete."<\/p>\n Gemma And Gorka: Life Behind The Lens aims to raise awareness of the difficulties behind pregnancy and giving birth.<\/p>\n Despite having a healthy four-year-old, Gemma was told she was "high risk" after her difficult first birth with daughter Mia. <\/p>\n The star lost pints of blood when welcoming her daughter, seeing her fiance Gorka break down in tears as doctors battled to save her. <\/p>\n It happened in 2019 when\u00a0Gemma\u00a0was forced to have an emergency Ceasarean when her unborn daughter Mia's heart rate dropped suddenly.<\/p>\n "My first birth was a traumatic one," Gemma told\u00a0MailOnline.<\/p>\n "They gave me a form about blood transfusions that asked if one of us had to be saved, which one would it be.<\/p>\n "It could have gone very differently. Immediately afterwards you think to yourself, 'Gosh, would I go through that again?' Then you look at your child and think, 'I'd do it all again tomorrow.' That's the nature of motherhood."<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/newspress-collage-23593549-1692691237852.jpg\")
