Strictly news: Gorka breaks his silence
Gorka missed out on taking home this year’s Glitterball trophy with partner Helen Skelton which left many wondering if he might quit.
A source claimed to The Sun: “He knew the final might be his last chance of taking home the Glitterball.
“Gorka has become an established figure in the contest and a name in his own right, which could allow him to go on to bigger things.”
The source went on to claim: “There’s no suggestion of any bad feeling between him and the BBC. It remains to be seen if producers will now offer him a deal enticing enough to sign up for next year’s show.”
However, replying to the fan on social media, Gorka decided to settle the matter with his response and even added a winky face emoji for good measure!
He simply said: “Don’t believe it.”
Fiancée Gemma shuts down the rumours
Meanwhile Gorka’s finance Gemma Atkinson has also been denying the rumours that Gorka plans to leave Strictly Come Dancing.
She shared a screen grab of a news article and added: “Obvs this isn’t true at all.”
Gemma, Gorka and their daughter Mia have now jetted off to Spain for a post-Christmas getaway.
