Gemma uploaded a snap of Gorka and daughter Mia and wrote beneath the sweet photo: "Off to dance for 3 weeks.... Proud as punch but it’s always hard for him when he’s away. We used to have the 'one-week rule', where one of us would always travel to the other after that time, but it’s harder to do with Mia. Thank God for face time!" Many of Gemma's fans were quick to share advice. One wrote: "Gemma, at least you have your mum and wonderful friends and FaceTime." Another added: "I know, it's so hard when they go away. But this year is going so fast, he'll be back before you know it!"
