'Gem & tonic duties, podcast recordings, hosting the radio, nursery runs and much more. The last 2 and a half weeks have flown by.
'As the saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun and we sure had a lot of it.
'A mental rest & switch off was definitely needed. More than I realised.
'I’ve been 100mph recently in the best way with work which I’m SO Grateful for, but time with the family making memories is what life’s all about… ��❤️
'We stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Abama, Tenerife. We stay in the private villa's on the resort.
'The hotel is beautiful though also, we just love the Vila’s.'
It comes after Gemma and Gorka butted heads on their podcast as they discussed how they organise their pans in the kitchen.
The former Hollyoaks actress and the ex-Strictly star were discussing tidiness in the kitchen.

However, Gemma was left frustrated at Gorka's need to have things organised a certain way and being over tidy.
She explained: 'We've got a fitted hob oven, and it's been smashed for months. I dropped a glass bottle of olive oil on it.
'When Gorka was away for the six weeks, I ordered a new one. I had a new one fitted. Anyway, it's all done, sparkling new clean.'
She continued: 'Gorka's first day home, he doesn't even notice the hob. What he did notice underneath it.
'He went, "You can tell I've been away," and I went, "What do you mean?" and he went, "These pans like this for no reason."
'And I just thought you're a***d about the order in which the pans are in under the oven hob in a cupboard, which no one sees, but the brand spanking new hob that's no longer cracked and smashed, you didn't notice.'
Gorka then defended himself as he said: 'It's not that, it's about the practicality of getting the pans quickly.
'Also, there were pans that are brand new, they shouldn't be being used by nobody, and I only use them to cook certain things.
'Like, for example, there is a big pan, I just use it to cook the rice, because it's for my paella.'
Gemma then joked: 'I let the kids play with their play dough in that one the other day.... Not really.'
Gorka replied: 'No, but I can believe that, because the other day I went to get the spatula, and they were all in the playroom.'
'Yeah they want to play kitchens,' reasoned Gemma as Gorka hit back: 'Just buy them toys, not the things that we're used to cooking.'
Defending his tidy habits, Gorka said: 'I will never go to anyone's house and I think, "oh, I think this should be like this," and then organise it, because it's not my house, so you can tidy it.
'But if you tidy, tidy within the space that needs to be.'
