Gemma Atkinson and daughter Mia cheer on Gorka Marquez on stage in Manchester after almost missing show

The joyful moment Gorka Marquez was supported by daughter Mia was shared as his latest show came to Manchester. As Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka tore up the floor in Firedance at The Bridgewater Hall on Saturday night, his fiancee Gemma Atkinson and their three-year-old Mia were cheering him on.

His fellow pro dancers Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara were also there to see the dance show co-starring another Strictly Come Dancing favourite Karen Hauer. And dad-to-be Aljaž, whose wife Janette is pregnant with their first child, captured an adorable scene from backstage as Gorka and Mia giving each other a kiss.

Hits Radio presenter Gemma posted on her Instagram that she and Mia had almost missed the show. She wrote: "The one Fire Dance show we can watch in Mancheter and it's looking like we'll miss it," she typed. "We're at a standstill on the motorway due to an accident. Looks really bad. Those poor people involved."
