In a recent episode of their podcast, *Lost in Translation*, Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez opened up about a humorous disagreement concerning their bedroom temperature. This light-hearted dispute centers around Gemma’s use of biohacking techniques that have altered their shared sleeping environment.
Gemma Atkinson’s Biohacking Practices
Gemma Atkinson, a 41-year-old actress, has introduced a variety of biohacks into her nightly routine. Among these is the use of a sauna blanket, which has inadvertently heated their bedroom to a sweltering 26 degrees Celsius. In contrast, Gorka Marquez, the Spanish dancer, prefers a cooler sleeping environment.
- Gorka’s ideal temperature for sleep: 18 to 21 degrees Celsius.
- Current temperature due to Gemma’s practices: 26 degrees Celsius.
Impact on Sleep
During the podcast, Gorka humorously recounted the challenges he faces at night. He often settles into bed with his laptop, only to be met with the intense heat generated by the sauna blanket. His frustration is evident as he stated, “I’m a person who doesn’t like to sleep in a hot room.”
Humorous Bedtime Anecdotes
Gemma added to the conversation by sharing a humorous moment from their nighttime routine. Donning her biohacking setup, including a red light helmet and blue light-blocking glasses, she jokingly recalled Gorka’s response, where he likened her appearance to “a corpse on a slab.”
Finding a Compromise
Aware of Gorka’s discomfort, Gemma proposed a solution to their temperature dispute. She suggested relocating her biohacking routine to a spare room. This compromise was solidified with a handshake, demonstrating their mutual respect for each other’s needs.
Background and Relationship
Gemma and Gorka’s relationship began on the set of *Strictly Come Dancing* in 2017, although they were not dance partners during the show. The couple now has two children: six-year-old Mia and two-year-old Thiago. Their ability to navigate everyday challenges, like a temperature dispute, showcases their strong bond and relatability.
