First episode coming Wednesday 22nd October

Join HITS Radio presenter and actress Gemma Atkinson and her partner Spanish dancer Gorka Marquez in their first ever podcast as they find themselves navigating their daily lives whilst ‘Lost in Translation’.

A new original Rayo Podcast ‘Lost in Translation’ explores the couple’s day-to-day life, juggling their busy schedules alongside parenting their two young children. With language and cultural differences also thrown into their relationship mix they can find themselves, like many couples, not always seeing eye to eye along the way!

Gemma finds it frustrating that Gorka has a place for everything and everything must be in its place whereas her more laid-back messy approach drives Gorka up the wall. He also doesn’t understand how she can have absolutely no interest in her fashion choices but is happy to consult her crystals in their big life choices.

As well as stories and discussions from their own lives the couple who met on Strictly in 2017 will be helping their listeners to navigate any problems they might have with their own unique set of advice, but will Gemma and Gorka be offering the same solution or be dancing to a totally different beat?

“Gemma and I are different, but that’s what makes us work.” said Gorka Marquez. “We bicker, we laugh, and we always find a way through. We hope Lost in Translation makes people feel less alone in their own relationship dilemmas and brings a smile to their faces.”

Gemma Atkinson said: “We wanted to create something really authentic that parents and couples can relate to. Life with two kids and conflicting schedules is always an adventure, and Gorka and I definitely have our moments! This podcast is about embracing those differences and finding the funny side.”

Lucie Cave, Bauer Media Audio’s Chief Creative Officer said: “I’ve been wanting to do something with Gemma and Gorka for a long time, and it was just a matter of timing – and persuading them to let us into their world. Their brilliant and hilarious family dynamics, the things they bicker about, agree on, or lose in translation, make them endlessly entertaining, relatable and warm. We’re so excited to welcome them into the Bauer family. We’ve already had huge success with Gemma’s Overshare podcast, and this feels like the next stage in her podcasting journey – I can’t wait to see where it goes.”

Warm and relatable this podcast is about how to agree to disagree, how to navigate relationships in today’s society and how humour might just be the tonic to help us through the day to day…​

The podcast is available on the Rayo app, Apple, Amazon Music, Spotify … or wherever you get your podcasts, from 22nd October with a new episode each week.
