Gemma Atkinson was seen crying in the Strictly Come Dancing audience on Saturday night, being moved to tears as Helen Skelton paid tribute to the ex Hollyoaks star's other half Gorka Marquez.
Gemma, who made it all the way to the Strictly final herself back in 2017, actually competing against Gorka as he bid for victory alongside Alexandra Burke, has been right behind him and Helen throughout their time on the BBC show, regularly posting support for them on her Instagram story.
Hours before the Strictly final, Gemma made a very forward request to reigning champion Giovanni Pernice to 'hand over' the Glitterball trophy to Gorka and then headed to the studio to see him and Helen go for the win with three performances. And, it was after their last routine, a reprise of their amazing Couple's Choice dance to Mein Herr, that Gemma became emotional.
