Over the weekend, Strictly Come Dancing continued on BBC One, with the pros showing off their skills with this year's partners, including Hits Radio's Gemma Atkinson's boyfriend Gorka Márquez, whose dance partner is EastEnders actress Maisie Smith.

Of course, Gemma who presents her weekday show with Wes on Hits Radio has been at home with daughter Mia who she shares with Gorka, whilst he has been practising hard for the show.

Now that the live shows have started, Mia finally gets the chance to see her dad on TV and Gemma filmed the super cute moment she saw him on Strictly last weekend.

Gemma took to Instagram telling her fans, 'Gorks and Maisie take 9 in our house 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ “Gen Gen” whilst pointing at the tele has been our Sunday evening @gorka_marquez ❤️' (sic), sharing the video of Mia sitting up on the sofa watching her date.

Mia, who is wearing a rainbow design top in black and white, with yellow trousers, can be seen reacting to Gorka clapping her hands and doing a little dance of her own, as Gemma can be heard saying, "Is your papa dancing? Yey, is he dancing?"

Watch Maisie and Gorka Samba to Samba (Conga) performance below:

Since Gemma shared the video fans have been commenting to say how cute the video is, with one writing, 'She is adorable 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 xxxx' and another saying, 'Too adorable for words!!😍'.

We hope to see more of Mia's reactions to Gorka dancing over the coming weeks!
