Children are known for their brutal honesty and it seems Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez's daughter Mia is no exception.
While adults wouldn't be able to get away with most of the cheeky remarks kids say, their lack of filter is truly adorable.
The former Hollyoaks star, 38, announced she had given birth to her second child, a son, earlier this week. Gemma and her Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer fiancé announced the happy news on Instagram on 19 July

The pair have yet to share their son's name or a picture of him. He is their second child, after welcoming Mia, four, in 2019.
Gemma kept fans up-to-date with her second pregnancy with the occasional snap of her growing baby bump.
However, in the latest update from the Marquez household, Gemma has confessed that her daughter had a very specific question about her post-baby figure.
The actor shared the hilarious anecdote with her 1.9 million Instagram followers.
“Mia just sat me down, looked me in the eye with that deep in thought look and said, ‘Mummy, why does your tummy still look like it has a baby in it even though my brother is out?’,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories.
Mia's comment comes only a few days after her baby brother arrived.
"Little man is here! He arrived safe and sound and he's utterly wonderful..." Gemma wrote on Instagram to announce the birth of her son.
The mum-of-two continued, adding that her daughter Mia had already met her young brother.
She also mentioned that 'Mia is already the mother hen we expected her to be'.
Gemma went on to reveal that the family are now enjoying some well-earned rest, after welcoming the bouncing baby boy.
"We're all home together soaking up this lovely little bubble before Gorka has to leave for Strictly rehearsals next week."
The former Emmerdale star then thanked fans for their well wishes, adding that her family was 'now complete'.
Gorka also shared the sweet statement on social media.
The couple first met in 2017, when Atkinson appeared on Strictly Come Dancing.
Unlike other couples on the popular dancing competition, she and Gorka weren't actually paired up.
However, this didn't stop a romance blooming backstage and they finally went public with their relationship in February 2018.
