Christmas Strictly viewers were left stunned following Gorka's singing performance.
Six celebrity contestants have appeared in today's Christmas special to compete and see who will be crowned the festive champion. Among them is Gorka Marquez who is blowing up on Twitter for a very different reason than his usual stunning dancing.
During the festive special of the BBC dancing competition, the Spanish professional dancer was seen giving a rendition of Last Christmas during the VT ahead of his dance with partner Keisha Buchanan. While he's lauded as a skilled dancer, viewers have a slightly different impression of his singing.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, one viewer said: "Gorka singing karaoke has made my Christmas I have to say." Another said: "Good job Gorka can dance."
A third added: "Gorka 'singing' Last Christmas is a true gift." A fourth said: "Gorka grating on a microphone on Xmas Day."
The star previously revealed what the Strictly festive special means on Lorraine's Christmas special. He said: "The Christmas special is about bringing joy to everyone at home.
"It’s bringing the magic of Strictly on the most wonderful day of the year, which is Christmas. Everyone’s at home with their families and loved ones, so Strictly is part of everybody."
Keisha and Gorka danced the Viennese Waltz to Snowman, with the judges scoring them Craig 8, Motsi 8, Shirley 8 and Anton 9, for a total of 33.
Taking part in this year's festive edition of the show were Sally Nugent and Graziano Di Prima, Dan Snow and Nadiya Bychkova, Danny Cipriani and Jowita Przystał,
