Strictly’s Atkinson ‘can’t believe’ public support
Gemma Atkinson has shared her disbelief that Strictly Come Dancing viewers have kept her in the competition long enough to land a place in the semi-final.
The Emmerdale actress and dance partner Aljaz Skorjanec were in joint last place on the leaderboard last Saturday along with Davood Ghadami.
However, despite not completely winning over the judges with her quickstep, Atkinson avoided the dreaded dance-off due to the public’s support. She said: “I can’t believe people have enjoyed watching me try and dance, watching (Skorjanec’s) choreography – they’ve enjoyed it with us and that’s what we wanted to do.” Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC One at 6:45pm.
