GEMMA Arterton has thrown fans into chaos by revealing she secretly welcomed a second child last year while keeping it completely under wraps.

The actress, who is about to headline ITV’s big-budget thriller Secret Service, casually dropped the bombshell on the Dish podcast.

“I’m happy to be let out for the day,” Gemma told hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett before hitting them with the shock: “I’ve got two kids now and it’s just hard.”

She stunned listeners further by revealing her newborn is just five-and-a-half months old, meaning the secret pregnancy was kept hidden until the baby was born late 2025.

Gemma insisted she’s “really well” but admitted the juggling act is intense: “I’ve just had another kid, and so I’m in the thick of that.”

The fiercely private star, who already kept her first pregnancy under wraps until late 2022, is now battling exhaustion while trying to bounce back into her career.

Just this week, Gemma flaunted her incredible post-partum figure in eye-catching red leather trousers during a London outing promoting Secret Service.

The actress plays senior MI6 officer Kate Henderson in the upcoming ITV series, making her secret pregnancy revelation a jaw-dropping twist for fans eagerly awaiting the show.

This double surprise has ignited a frenzy of speculation about how she managed to keep such a major life event hidden while in the public eye.
