Gemma Atkinson's daughter Mia has a favourite Strictly Come Dancing star and it's not her father Gorka Marquez.
The radio host has revealed her and daughter Mia always tune into the BBC One Latin and ballroom show, which Gemma met Gorka on several series back. The pair are now married and have two children together and as a family they always tune in to watch Gorka in the competition. However, Mia has her favourite stars of the show – and it isn't her dad.
Whilst Mia enjoys watching her dad, her heart lies with someone else. "She's still really into Will Mellor, she's obsessed with Will Mellor. And this year, she likes Bobby and Adam, so she likes the boys," Gemma revealed, "Every year she has a boy and this year she can't decide. She says she likes Adam and she likes Bobby, but she's still sad that Will isn't dancing still."

She's a big fan of EastEnders star Bobby (BBC/Ray Burmiston)Gorka is now out of the competition, after him and celebrity partner Nikita Kanda were booted out two weekends ago.
When asked by Tess about their time on the show, Nikita said: "I don’t want to leave yet, I feel like I’ve let him down. I’ve had the best time and I love all my Strictly family, I’m going to miss you all. This has been a dream come true, I’m so grateful. I’ve got to say the biggest thankyou to Gorka, he has been the biggest support and I’ve had the best time ever."

Gorka added: "I am beyond proud of her, for someone that doesn’t have any dance experience or performance experience to come on this show and dance in front of millions of people – for three weeks, I think it’s incredible. You should be very proud of yourself, you have never let me down and I am very proud of you. This show is going to teach you so many things about yourself that you can take with you and I take incredible memories. I’ve never laughed so much in three weeks than I did with you!"
Now Gorka is out the competition, he is back with Gemma at their home and during her interview with Lorraine, Gorka popped by holding their three-month-old son, with Lorraine cooing over the little one.
