Gorka Marquez broke down in tears after receiving a sweet message from his daughter Mia in honour of Father's Day.
The Strictly Come Dancing star was visibly emotional in the latest episode of his podcast, after his fiancée Gemma Atkinson played the clip from their six-year-old sharing the five things she loves the most about him.
Opening the clip, Gemma said she had a 'little message' for Gorka from someone, who had 'the top five things about him on Father's Day.'
Mia then said: 'Hi Papa, Happy Father's Day, we love you, well Mia and Thiago, not Mummy.'
'Number one, you're an amazing Dad, number two, you're super, number three, you do smelly trumps, very smelly! Number four, you teach us, number five, you're helpful.
'And that's it, and you know Thiago will think everything, I think because he's my brother, and you're his Dad, but also because you're super, and also because he agrees with everything that I say.'

Fighting back tears, Gorka told Gemma: 'That's not fair you should've done that at the end, not now!'
Gemma and Gorka began dating in 2017 after meeting on Strictly Come Dancing, and they are parents to daughter Mia, and son Thiago, three.
It comes after Gemma hit back at claims she 'doesn't like' Gorka after viewers reacted to her 'awful' body language on the couple's podcast Lost In Translation.
In the latest episode, the former Strictly star told Gemma: 'We've had some messages about your body language.'
Gemma then explained: 'Oh yeah, as you can see, we're on a couch, which is facing forwards. The fact we even have to explain this is hilarious.
'So we turn in to face each other. For those who aren't aware, I've got quite big shoulders. I've got shoulders like boulders. It's really comfy to me to sit like this. [with her arms crossed]'.
Gorka added: 'You have big t*ts also.'
Gemma continued: 'Big t*ts, big shoulders. So I like sitting with my arms crossed. I do it in meetings at work.
'But apparently it's because I don't like you, and my body language to you is awful and off.'
Gorka said: 'It is true in body language that means that not that you don't like the other person, but you are not open to being receptive.'
Fighting back tears, Gorka told Gemma: 'That's not fair you should've done that at the end, not now!' as his partner wished him a Happy Father's Day
Gemma hit back: 'But in reality it's because I'm on a couch that I'm having to twist and face you, and it's comfortable.
'They keep saying, "sort your body language out. Your body language is awful." I can't even relax on my own podcast couch without being judged. We listen and don't judge Mother Effers.'
Gorka added: 'I think we should ask the team to change the chairs. We need chairs that I said to you facing each other. We have 1 million listeners. We can afford those chairs.'
Last month Gorka told Gemma to 'stop using their kids' to get her own way, moments after she claimed he 'pushed the narrative she was never nice'.
The couple were chatting about pets and Gemma explained how she'd love to get another dog, despite Gorka's objections, and recently came across pooches up for adoption while at a local fair with their children.
He said: 'Don't try and use the kids to get another dog, you're convincing them so I'm going to have to give in and get another dog, do not do that'
'That's the plan then' she quipped, to which Gorka replied: 'Get another dog, but I go 365 days [a year] on tour'.
Earlier in the show Gemma welcomed listeners, as well as Gorka, who was recording elsewhere in the country amid his UK tour.
He said: 'Thank you for being nice to me' only for Gemma to snap: 'What do you mean thank you for being nice to you? Like I am never nice to you'
'I am winding you up' Gorka laughed.
While Gemma went on: 'You need to stop that narrative because people are going to be coming for me thinking I am snide to you, I am the kindest person to you, the things I do for you and us are in abundance my friend'.
