Gemma Atkinson has called herself 'lucky' in response to her fiance's tearful TV tribute.
Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez broke down in tears as he thanked the BBC One show for introducing him to Gemma.
The Spanish dancer appeared on BBC Two spin-off It Takes Two earlier this week to talk through his 'Strictly CV'.
Gorka told viewers how he became friends with Gemma when she competed on the show in 2017 with his fellow pro dancer Alijaz Skorjanec.

He was then overcome with emotion as he told how they met and how falling in love with the former Hollyoaks and Emmerdale star changed his life.
"I met Gemma in 2017. She didn't dance with me she danced with Alijaz," he recalled.
"We just became very good mates and I think that was the key because we were friends before anything happened and now we have a beautiful daughter."
He continued tearfully: "Without Strictly I would never have Gemma.
"I think she's the best person in the world.
"She inspires me every day. She makes me a better man, a better person, a better person, better everything.
"I'm so grateful to have her and call her my fiancée."
Gemma and Gork welcomed their adorable daughter Mia on July 4 2019 and the love-up pair got engaged on February 14 this year.
Sharing the clip to her own Instagram page, Gemma said: "I'm so lucky," before adding: "Love you @gorka_marquez."
But before that, Gemma shared an interesting relationship detail no one would have known.
The Hits Radio host was showing off a gift from a friend which was a notebook full of memories throughout their long-standing friendship.
Sharing one of the pages, it read: "Remember when, you came home to my flat after your 1st day at 'Strictly' and said...
"'I'm going to get with the Spanish one.'"
Gemma added to the post: "Knew from day 1 (just didn't know his name)."
