Gemma Atkinson #6 we've seen her abs more than Gorka has seen the kids.

I think we all will have come across ‘a Gemma’ in our lives where they are desperate to appear like ‘all is well’ and ‘everything is brilliant and fine’. I had a friend like it and she used to be so anal about her daily routine, what she ate, the time she ate, everything was regimented and it was simply because she felt out of control in her relationship with her partner and it was the only part of her life she could control.

To me, she just seems desperate to put on appearances to save face and for her, she’s trying to create a brand as a family 🙄 if I could stand her, I’d actually feel sorry for her.

If she refers once more to, we are just a normal family like those whose partner is away for months in the Army and working on oil rigs.
Boils my piss. He’s a dancer for gods sake.

He looks like he’s checked out long ago.

Just saw a rumor that Strictly will axe 'old' pro's next year, with Gorka tipped to be out. Don't know who will be angrier, him or the organ grinder. What excuses will he come up with to stay away for that length of time? Perhaps he'll run off to join the circus?

I know Johannes is leaving, he’s going to be on the West End. I reckon little G will try and get himself a tour or show of some sort so he can be away for weeks on end.

I will be in the minority here but I can understand Gemma being peeved he chooses to be away for weeks/ months at a time, she's more often than not a single parent so needs structure and routine and that extra 1 1/2 sleep makes such a difference to a kid of Mias age

I think this is a fair point, she has built up a routine that her and the kids are used to which seems very much based on her acting as a single parent, what i think is quite is quite illuminating is though is either Gorka's ignorance to that, maybe they don't communicate about routine, or his disregard for it. either way, i do think he comes across the worst here but i still don't understand why she would want to be with someone who puts so little effort into their children
 
I know this isnt a rave thread and I'll probably get shot down for saying this here but why does Gemma get more stick than Gorka?

In the example of him waking the kids up before leaving at 6...that is a huge inconvenience and I think it's entirely reasonable for her to be pissed off. And also good on her not to give in to Mia's request for TV time (notice she didn't ask to cuddle with her papa or anything along those lines). He's away for months on end and literally tells the world he hasn't seen the kids never mind her...as far as I can see that choice is his to make, Gemma rolls with it, gets her routine sorted (whether you think it's wrong or right it's needed to some degree!) then he pops in for the weekend, does whatever he wants then disappears again - let's be honest the kids will now be tired, grouchy, won't eat etc etc because of that.

He is in the wrong here. If he wants to be away for big periods like he is I personally think she's well within her rights to expect him to respect her & the kids routines or even how she runs the house (of course like most men he doesn't, does what he wants then to top it off she gets berated for it!)

I totally agree with all of this. I don’t particularly like Gemma but she’s not wrong here in my opinion

He only switched on the landing light before going down the stairs - not as though he danced the Macarena while shaking maracas all through her room?

I’m sure we’ve all said he’s an arse for never going home and only giving a duck about himself.

Gemma gets more of a hard time because of all the shite she spouts and being the expert on absolutely everything in life and when she does get it wrong - like nipping her baby and then she doubles down on the negative reaction if people tell her that’s perhaps not OK

She doesn't, he gets absolutely slated all the time, including the latest discussion of this exact event if you look back. She might get the lion's share, but it's her thread.
