Gemma Atkinson waiting for her beau to propose marriage

London, Oct 20 : English glamour model Gemma Atkinson says that she would be happy to spend her entire life with her boyfriend Marcus Bent, and that she is waiting for the footballer to propose marriage to her.

Atkinson, 23, had sold her Bury home earlier this year to buy a new house with Bent in Manchester.

"I'd be more than happy to be with him forever," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"I'm in the process of moving in with Marcus at the minute although it's quite a stressful time trying to juggle work with house moving too.

"We're hopefully moving in about six to eight weeks.

"We'd been hoping to be in by now but with everything going on it's been delayed.

"We're hoping to get the keys before Christmas - I really don't want to be living out of boxes while I'm doing panto," she said.

Regarding marriage, the Hollyoaks babe revealed that she was waiting for her man to make the move.

"It is up to Marcus to propose to me because leap year has been and gone," she stated.

"I've always said that I'd like to get married by the age of 26 and have kids at 29 because they seem good ages to do it.

"My mum was 32 when she had me and we have a cracking relationship. I'm more or less a step-mum as it is because Marcus has a lovely little girl," she added.
