She then laughed as she added: "We left @miketoolan in charge of her for less then 47 seconds and she almost fell in a bin but we’re going to over look that part and just say she had a lovely day out." And Gorka, 33, was quick to respond to the post, simply posting a face holding back tears emoji and a love heart eyes emoji.
Later, Gemma, 39, shared a snap of Mia getting the backstage treatment as she was seen in an adorable snap getting a cuddle from Strictly's reigning champ Vito Coppola. She also returned to see her dad during the show with the Hits Radio host sharing a snap of Gorka planting a kiss on his little girl's cheek saying: "Interval kisses!"
