Gemma Atkinson pays poignant tribute as she reveals why she says late dad 'lives on the moon'
Gemma Atkinson has shared a poignant tribute to her late dad as she shared why she says he 'lives on the moon'. The Hits Radio host took to Instagram on Sunday ahead of cheering on her man Gorka Marquez on Strictly Come Dancing as it would have been her dad, David's, birthday.
But sadly, as the family prepared for him to come, the hospital called and said David had a massive heart attack in his sleep and passed away. On April 27 this year, Gemma marked 20 years since his tragic death, sharing an old clip with her millions of followers."20 years ago today you passed away Dad. That’s 7,300 days of missing you being here physically but knowing you’re always with me in some way," she wrote at the time.
"I'm sure you're celebrating up there in some way... I miss you Dad. Every. Single. Day," she then movingly added before sharing an even more touching clip which she has previously shared on Instagram of her daughter, Mia. Last December Gemma shared a video of her then-two-year-old daughter at the window talking about the moon.
Sharing the video again, Gemma explained: "Wehn I say up thee, I mean the moon as that's where you live according to Mia." Back in October, Gemma made her fans cry when she shared how a friend's health scare had prompted memories of her losing her dad. Gemma took to Instagram to share a string of images from throughout her friendship with Cinta London.
