Gemma Atkinson confirms BBC Strictly Come Dancing 'return' after showing off hidden talent

Gemma Atkinson appears to have confirmed her return to Strictly Come Dancing but sadly, she won't be back on the dancefloor. The Hits Radio host looks set to join the audience on Saturday night (November 19) as she supports her man Gorka Marquez and his dance partner Helen Skelton.

The pair made it through to the much-anticipated show in the seaside resort's iconic Blackpool Tower during the results show on Sunday night after impressing in the ballroom during the latest live show. Gemma, from Bury, was cheering her fiance and his celebrity dance partner on from home over the weekend.

The 37-year-old regularly posts on Instagram as she watched along from her Greater Manchester home, usually alongside her and Gorka's three-year-old daughter Mia. But over the weekend, Gemma was watching the show solo. "I'm watching solo tonight. Mia's at my sister's sleeping over bless her," she said in a video on her Instagram Stories on Saturday night.
