Gemma Atkinson shares adorable moment daughter recreates Will Mellor’s Strictly dance with dad Gorka
GEMMA Atkinson has revealed the sweet moment her daughter recreated Will Mellor’s Strictly routine with dad Gorka.
The actress and former Strictly star, 38, watched Saturday night’s episode back with her family, and little Mia, three, appeared to be a big fan of Will and Nancy Xu’s foxtrot.
It was a standout routine from Musicals Week, placing the pair joint top of the leaderboard with Helen Skelton and Gorka, who also scored 39 points.
Sharing the clip from their living room on Instagram, Gemma wrote: “Still on Wills dance but at least she lets Papa dance it with her [laughter emojis].”
Spanish pro dancer Gorka twirled and led Mia around the room, perhaps putting in the groundwork for Mia’s future appearance on the show in a couple of decades.
Meanwhile Gemma picked up on Helen’s apparent dig at ex-husband Richie Myler during their routine.
During the fiery performance it appeared the TV presenter flashed her middle finger as the music said: “Bye bye mein liber herr, it was a a fine affair, but now it’s over”.
It seemed to be a well-timed gesture after Helen’s shock split from Leeds Rhinos ace Richie in April.
In the dance, Helen appeared to slide her middle finger down her cheek, and Gemma uploaded the moment to her Instagram stories for fans to watch all over again.
The former Emmerdale star wrote: “It was the subtle middle finger for me,” accompanied by a sly face emoji.
The dance has proved to be Helen’s strongest and most talked about of the contest so far with her achieving an almost perfect score of 39, with just Craig Revel Horwood failing to give her a ten.
Taking to Twitter, fans were full of praise for the TV star who they felt had finally got some revenge on her ex.
Richie announced he was expecting a baby with his new girlfriend Stephanie Thurkill six months after their split.
