'Lucky' Gemma Atkinson shares adorable moment daughter is dazzled by dad Gorka’s shoutout on stage
Gemma Atkinson has shared the adorable moment her daughter got a shoutout on stage as she finally got to see her dad Gorka Marquez perform. The Hits Radio host travelled down to London on Saturday (May 14) to watch her husband-to-be in action as he takes to the stage in the Strictly Come Dancing Professionals tour.

Gemma took to Instagram to share some clips from the spectacular show.
