Gemma Atkinson has made a claim about her time on Strictly Come Dancing as she made a rare move with her fiance Gorka Marquez. As fans of the Hits Radio host and dancer know, the couple met on the BBC One dance contest back in 2017.
At the time, Gemma was partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec while Gorka took part in the competition with singer Alexandra Burke. Both pairings made it to the final but unbeknownst to viewers, love was blossoming behind the scenes for Gemma and Gorka with their romance not becoming official until they hit the road in the show's live arena tour in early 2018.
Gemma, 39, and Gorka, 33, have since gotten engaged, with Gorka popping the question in 2021, and are now proud parents to daughter Mia, four, and eight-month-old son Thiago, and it was just last month that they celebrated their sixth anniversary.
