Gorka Marquez had a rather awkward admission to make on Sunday's Strictly Come Dancing results show when he revealed his daughter Mia is voting for rival Will Mellor.
Gorka and Helen had a fantastic night in the Strictly ballroom on Saturday, achieving a series best score of 37 out of 40, thanks to their amazing and electric jive to Janelle Monae's Tightrope. The couple blew the judges and viewers at home with their fast paced routine, which took them within a point of topping the leaderboard, with them finishing just behind Hamza and Jowita, who scored highly once again.
There was more delight for Gorka and Helen in the Strictly results show, which i actually filmed hours after Saturday's live show, when they were announced as safe and through to next week, after a nailbiting moment last week when they were left standing next to James Bye and Amy Dowden as both couples waited to find out who would be in the dreaded dance-off.

Gorka and Helen looked ecstatic at being through to another week and Gorka then leapt to his feet and started dancing during a chat with Claudia Winkleman, when the host revealed that their next dance would be a salsa to 2017 summer smash Despacito.
And it was just after that, that Claudia raised the subject of Gorka's little girl throwing her support behind another contestant as she said: "Now Will, I love this, there is a little person who is voting for you and it is....I don't know how to say this...Gorka's daughter!"
She then asked: "Has it caused problems in the group?" to which Will replied: "I don't think so. I'm glad she's voting for me, II think it's wonderful bless her. She's only three."
Gorka then remarked: "Its the he only way I can talk to her now. I say 'Hi Mia' and she's like 'Papa, I'm too busy.' Then I say I'm with Will...Will Mellor!" The pro dancer's other half,. Gemma Atkinson has revealed that Mia has even named a giant elf soft toy after Will.
