Gemma Atkinson has to 'turn off' BBC Strictly Come Dancing results as daughter, 3, says she'll 'cry' over Will Mellor's exit

Gemma Atkinson faced a moment she was probably dreading as she tuned into Strictly Come Dancing with her daughter. The Hits Radio host took to Instagram on Monday evening (December 12) as she watched the results of the semi-final with three-year-old Mia who she shares with pro dancer Gorka Marquez.

Sunday night's semi-final saw the remaining five celebrities - Will Mellor, Helen Skelton, Fleur East, Hamza Yassin, and Molly Rainford - and their dance partners perform two dances to impress the judges and the voting public in a bid to make it to the grand final, which takes places on Sunday (December 17).

And Gemma, 38, appeared emotional as she watched Gorka and Countryfile host Helen perform an elegant Waltz before taking on a powerful and sexy Argentine Tango. During the live show, which was moved from its usual primetime Saturday night slot, she shared a picture of the dancing couple as they received their comments from the judges and the former soap star and Hits Radio host simply typed: "Love it!" alongside an emoji of a face holding back happy tears.
