Gemma Atkinson reveals what she'll miss as she gets ready to return to Hits Radio
She chatted to Mike and Brooke on Brooke's last day
Last updated 18th Mar 2024
Friday 15th March is Brooke Vincent's last day presenting alongside Mike Toolan on Hits Radio, as she's been covering for Gemma Atkinson who welcomed her second child Thiago last year.
Now, as Gemma is getting ready to return to the Hits Radio studio next month, Mike and Brooke thought they'd catch up with the mum-of-two to see how she's been getting on.
Chatting on Hits Radio, Gemma said: "It's nice to have a routine, I think when you're a new mum, routine goes out of the window, so it's nice to feel a little like yourself again."
But she did admit she'll miss: "Trashy daytime TV, with a piece of toast on my knee, because I don't have to go out."
Despite having time off from her radio show to look after her two children, Gem has been very busy, the radio presenter has now released a children's book, and recorded a podcast called The Overshare with Gemma Atkinson.
Brooke has been filling in for Gemma since she left to welcome Thiago last summer, and in that time she's managed to get Mike to make a brew round! As Gemma was leaving Hits Radio she warned Brooke that Mike didn't make drinks, but it seems with a bit of Brooke magic, he's seen the error of his ways.
While Brooke is about to head off on tour with her play The Syndicate, Gemma will be returning to Hits Radio to present alongside Mike in April.
