Gemma Atkinson spotted in tears as Helen Skelton pays tribute to Gorka Marquez on BBC Strictly Come Dancing

Gemma Atkinson was reduced to tears as she watched Gorka Marquez and Helen Skelton dance for the final time before losing out on the Strictly Come Dancing 2022 title. The Hits Radio host was in the audience supporting her man and his celebrity dance partner amid their bid to be crowned champions in the final of the BBC competition.

It is the first time Gemma, 38, has been to see her fiance Gorka, 32, and Countryfile host Helen, 39, live at Elstree Studios where the hit dance contest is filmed. She was joined by her radio co-host Mike Toolan and her and Gorka's pal Fraser Knox in the crowd to cheer on the couple.

It came as Gorka and Helen performed three routines as they went head-to-head with Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu, Fleur East and Vito Coppola and eventual winners Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal.
