Gemma Atkinson has shared a poignant tribute to her late dad as she shared why she says he 'lives on the moon'. The Hits Radio host took to Instagram on Sunday (December 11) ahead of cheering on her man Gorka Marquez on Strictly Come Dancing as it would have been her dad, David's, birthday.
The 38-year-old has previously shared how David tragically died in 2002. She told how her dad's colleague found him hunched over his desk, struggling to breathe or move, as he was having a heart attack. On Steph's Packed Lunch in June last year, Gemma shared that within a few days they were told her dad was OK and put it down to stress and told him to slow down.
But sadly, as the family prepared for him to come, the hospital called and said David had a massive heart attack in his sleep and passed away. On April 27 this year, Gemma marked 20 years since his tragic death, sharing an old clip with her millions of followers.
